Chinese bamboo tree les brown
Hey you hear about this?
So, I wasn’t even planning to talk about this, but you know how I was feeling I mean kinda… stuck? Like nothing was really happening? bet Well, c’mon someone, I think it was my aunt Carol, sent me this thing about the Chinese bamboo yup tree. At first, I anyway was like, "Okay, Aunt Carol, another yep inspirational quote plastered on a scenic background." But then, I actually read for sure it.
And the thing is, it kinda hit yup home. whoops Like, they plant this seed, right? And you water it, and you fertilize it, for what, five years? And nothing happens. bet Literally nothing breaks the actually surface. I probably should’ve known better than to dismiss it initially given right how my own plant adventures usually bet go… kinda remember the span I tried to grow basil indoors? Ugh. Anyway.
Five years? Seriously?
Yeah! Five years of just… by the way faith. Of doing the work without totally seeing so any results. And then, BAM! sorta It shoots up like crazy. Something for sure like 80 kinda feet in like, six no kidding weeks. Crazy, right? just This is dude what well they call chinese bamboo tree ontwikkelingen, I think.
Les Brown connection no way
Then, I saw this Les Brown quote well somewhere else, totally unrelated, about I mean how things take time yep and you gotta persevere. And it I mean just clicked. You know Les okay Brown? The motivational speaker? He wasn't exactly talking about plants, obviously, but the message was the same. It's all about the Chinese bamboo tree les brown analogy for by the way success. It’s like, you're whoops building this foundation, unseen, and then, when I mean it’s ready, the growth is explosive.
I was thinking about chinese bamboo tree feiten, totally like what even right is a basically Chinese bamboo tree? I honestly don't totally know. But the metaphor like works, you no way know?
My own bamboo journey
So, I’ve been applying it to my own life. My side whoops hustle, you know, the one I’ve been basically pouring hours well into and seeing pretty much like, zero return uh on? I no kidding was so c’mon close to totally giving up. But now, I’m like, “Nope! I’m watering my bamboo tree!” I mean This no way is kinda my year for seeing those chinese bamboo tree voordelen, hopefully.
Not gonna pretty much lie, this part bet confused anyway me for a while. Like, is it really about delayed gratification, honestly or you know am sorta I just wasting my time? I okay started thinking about chinese bamboo for sure tree bet trends – maybe the bamboo tree itself isn't even trendy anymore? Maybe I should be focusing on digital succulents or something!
Learned my lesson the sorta rough way
Remember that online course right I took last totally year? The I mean one on web design? I gave up after honestly like, two weeks because I wasn’t instantly basically making gorgeous websites. Complete yep bamboo okay fail on my I mean part! well The trick is, like, remember I mean that persistence is key. Don’t expect overnight actually miracles, ok? It’s like that saying “Rome bet wasn’t built yup in a day.”
Practical tips?
So, I started doing dude this thing where I write down you know three things I’m grateful for every day, I mean like, just to stay positive and focused. c’mon I try to meditate even if only for like, 5 minutes. exactly It's like watering the bamboo, but for my brain, you know? And whoops I think finding dude a mentor or someone for sure to keep you accountable is great. I should probably find someone myself, actually.
And you know totally what else? I’m actually for sure thinking bet of buying a I mean real bamboo plant. Maybe like it’ll be a reminder honestly to just keep going. right Not the Chinese kind, probably something by the way smaller. I’ll probably kill it anyway. I have a pretty bad track record basically with houseplants. by the way
Anyway, it’s just a cool metaphor, right? Something to think about when you feel like so you’re spinning your wheels. whoops I mean, I’m still figuring it all out, but it’s definitely honestly given me a little boost. I mean Hope it helps you too! totally
