When you’re here to do something real, something beyond just moving money around, there are periods where progress is obvious and there are periods where progress is not so obvious.
Sometimes it just looks like nothing is happening at all.
The Universe has a timing that usually only makes sense when you look back at where you’ve tread. While you’re walking on the path, it can often be really, really quiet.
Is anyone listening? Is anyone out there? Is any of this getting through?
There are so many questions to ask. But if you ask them at the wrong time, you tend to get no answer. At least no answer you can hear.
That doesn’t mean there isn’t an answer, it just means our ability to sense it needs work.
What’s the appropriate response in a situation like this? What’s the right thing to do when you’re not sure anything you’re doing is right?
My best solution (so far) is to do everything, all the time. And to never forget that making the world a better place is a proven road to success.
So you always “plant.” Always “nurture.” Always look for the fruits of your labor that are ready to harvest.
This is why it’s so important to choose the path where the walking is the reward.
Anything less puts you on a quest where the outcome controls the quality of your life.
I’ve always found that wanting success is a bad way to get it.
What if the thing you want, the picture of success you dream about, is only 10% of what you are here to achieve?
How would you even know if you fix your awareness on a goal far beneath your potential?
There’s a reason they say to aim for the stars and not the trees.
If you aim for the stars and hit the trees, you’ll be far better off than aiming for the trees and hitting the ground. That’s obvious.
What is not so obvious is that focusing solely on the trees means you might go through life never realizing there were any stars at all.
