A friend once told me a story about bamboo farmers and how they trust the process.

Every day, they water their bamboo.

Every day, they stick to their plan.

They may not see any sign of growth for THREE YEARS.

And yet, every day, they water their bamboo.

They don’t give up.

Then, one day, the bamboo pierces through the ground and it begins to grow.

And grow.

And grow.

In fact, it might grow more than a foot a day. After two months, a stalk of giant timber bamboo goes from nothing to ninety feet tall!

They kept watering the bamboo, even when no growth or progress was visible because they knew the big changes were coming.

That’s why they didn’t abandon their job.

They held the line.

Where do you need to hold the line and have faith?

What job are you committed to?

What do you need to bring into this world?

What change do you want to see?

Trust the process

When you feel hope at last gasp, have faith.

Hold the line.

Sometimes you have to be a bamboo farmer.

That’s your challenge.
