Fruits of Your Labor 🌱

A fruit tree doesn’t bear fruit overnight.

Depending on the species, it may take 2 to 7 years of steady watering, sunlight, and care before anything blossoms.

Your dreams, too, must be rooted in love, nurtured through service, and strengthened by daily action before they ever bear fruit. 🌟

“Most people overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in ten.”

– Bill Gates

This truth applies to more than just decades.

We tend to misjudge what’s possible in a month versus a year, a day versus a month, and even an hour versus a day.

Progress is like compound interest—quiet at first, then astonishing.

James Clear puts it well: if you improve just 1% a day, you’ll be 37 times better after a year.

That’s exponential growth born from small, intentional action.

The key is:

Stay consistent. Be patient.

Your work is taking root, even if you can’t see it yet.

Impact doesn’t always announce itself.

It ripens in silence—then shows up in moments that take your breath away.

So plant good seeds:

🌱 Aligned with your purpose, values, and priorities.

💧 Water them with focused attention.

☀️ Shine on them with your light—your creativity, your love, your service.

When the time is right, the world will taste the magnificent fruits of your labor.

Because you do reap what you sow.

And when your roots run deep, your fruit will feed more than you know. 🌎

🎧 As Caleb Gordon beautifully said:

“A lesson I learned from the seed is to start slow

Trust me, you gon' see the tree if you look close

Don't you know havin' faith is the substance of things that you don't see?

But trust me, you gon' see the fruits of your labor...”
