I was watering a small plant that my aunt-in-law gave me few weeks back, realized that it has grown quite a bit. It's hard to describe in words how excited I am anticipating its growth. Moreover, along the way I worry whether it's gonna die one day...etc or it's gonna be destroyed by mouse @@ .....O NO!! STAY AWAY!!
Funny thing was that I happen to read this article which was written by someone else......kinda like it.
How to Turn a Seed into a Tree?
I woke up at 5am this morning with a thought about a tree.
A tree??? Yes… A tree.
Weird? Yes, I felt weird this morning.The question was on my mind, how to turn a seed into a beautiful, strong and fruitful tree?
Half asleep… I thought slowly, for example an apple tree… I should plant the seed in the right soil, nurture it - make sure it gets enough water, sunshine and the right care… And it needs a process and time to grow… Eventually it will grow bigger, with strong roots, shady, and fruitful. It will survive in any season and weather, even the stormy one, it can cover the human to rest under the tree - from the heat or rain, and it gives fruits for eat.
And if I don’t put it on the right soil, it might not grow, or grow in suffer, not strong enough to stand the stormy weather.
If I don’t give it enough water, and take care of it in the right way (treating it as an apple tree, instead of cactus), the it might not grow, or grow in suffer, not strong enough to stand the stormy weather.
What about if I take care of it, nurture it in the beginning, and neglect/ignore it after I see it growing? It might be dying and die eventually, and will not be able to survive for the next season.
As simple as that… That’s the lesson that I learn from a nature. That thought brought me to think about my life and whether I have nurture the seeds (love, dreams, work, etc.) In my life.
Same with our lives, if we don’t nurture it with the right way, we will never reach our dreams and get what we wants.
When I want to reach my dream, I should take care of it with the right way (might be different way for each dreams), nurture it… With patience, walk in time and let the dream become bigger and true in my life, or else it will die and will only be a dream, and never come true.
When I put a seed of love, I should take care of it, nurture it - with the right way (maybe through a communication, understanding, listening, respect, cares, trust, etc.) - effort to grow it, and as the time goes by, it will prove and show a true love… Or else it will die, and forgotten by the end.
