Life Navigator #419: Seeds of Growth

As we begin 2025, I’ll be honest - it’s been a tough start to the year. Challenges remind us of life’s unpredictability, but they also offer an opportunity to pause, reflect, and plant seeds for the future.

I’ve been thinking a lot about my dad lately - his life, his lessons, and the way he nurtured his business and the people aound him with such care. Like a gardener tending to seeds, he knew that with the right attention, what starts as a small possibility could grow into something beautiful.

A seed is such a powerful metaphor for life. Inside that tiny shell lies immense potential, whether its an idea, a dream, or even a plan for change. But the potential alone isn’t enough. To grow, seeds need care, nurturing, and the right environment. In the same way, our ideas and goals need intention, effort, and sometimes a bit of fertiliser (even if it can smell unpleasant at first).

This year, I’m focusing on planting seeds for growth - both personally and professionally - and tending to them with patience, care & kindness. Whether it’s helping clients secure their financial futures or fostering relationships with those who matter most, I believe 2025 holds the potential for us to bloom, even after difficult beginnings.

What seeds are you planting this year?
