I saw the words “Seeds of Change” today and started thinking how that might be applying in my own life. Things often seem static, and that the work we’re doing to create change isn’t showing an impact. But like a seed, our life takes time to grow and to develop into something that we can see on the surface.
Like our ideas, a seed is most vulnerable in the beginning stages. It needs nurturing, time, warmth, thought, and safety to allow the plant to grow through. Our life needs the same.
Take the ideas that you have and start by finding a safe place for them to grow, share them with only people who will help the nurturing, continue to help them develop by watering your ideas with your inspiration, trust in the process too. The seed knows how to grow into a plant on it’s own if we foster the right environment for it to have a chance for success.
Even in your darkest hour, where you feel that the change isn’t coming, remember where your seeds are planted. Ask yourself if you’ve watered them, kept them safe and given them enough time. If the answer is yes, then watch out, the shoot will come up soon. And if the answer is no, think about whether it’s time to plant a new seed that fits the soil of your life better.
A seed is an idea and a potential, your heart is it’s home. Nurture yourself and change will surely come when it’s matured.
