Everyone including you, has probably heard of the bamboo tree story. There is a tree called Chinese bamboo in the far east.it is different from the other types of tree because it does not grow in the usual way. While most trees grow steadily over a period of years, the Chinese bamboo does not break through the ground for four years.
Then, only in the fifth year, MIRACLE happens – the tree begins to grow at an astonishing rate. In fact, in a period of just five weeks, a Chinese bamboo tree can grow to a height of 90 feet. My question to you does this tree has attained this height only in these few five weeks or during the period of five years?
You have observed that there is a law in this universe that everything grows at some incremental pace. For example the child, tree, business, intellect, career, relationship etc. So the best way to align your professional growth is to focus only on one step at a time irrespective of how small it is and with consistent similar steps you can gradually achieve what you are aiming for in your life.
Life often works in a similar way. You can work for weeks, months or even years on your dreams and goals without any visible signs of progress. You may face criticisms by many people around you-your family, friends and co –workers-saying you are simply wasting your time. However, once you break through all those criticisms, the similar Miracle will definitely happen to you. History is replete with stories of many world famous brands that have grown in similar fashion.
If you believe in this philosophy, then only one thing is required from you: your strong self-belief that whatever efforts you are currently putting in your job or business will eventually give you the desired results. The growers of the Chinese bamboo had the belief that if they kept watering it and fertilizing its soil, it would break through.
Everyone including you, has a bamboo tree hidden inside just waiting to break through, do not fail to water it and believe in its growth. You will fly high before you know it.So if you always stay intentionally with the positive thoughts in your life and work and discard anything negative which comes on the way and goes on with the philosophy of sustainable incremental growth? Soon you will realize that all of your conditions and surroundings also have become transformed into positive and things started happening in abundance. So experience it yourself to get the right results in the long run!
