SEED OR REDWOOD ?

YOUR TIME WILL COME, BE

THE SEED OR BE THE REDWOOD

JUST BE GREAT AT IT.

There will be times when you cannot be sure if you are tree or seed.

As tree, your view of other trees may be obscured, 

you may have too much wait in your branches, 

you may be pointing in too many directions,

you may even feel alone in the forest.

As seed, you may feel insignificant,

you may wonder what it's all about,

where you fit in,

and what's the point ?

you may wish you could sprout right now.

BUT WAIT ! ALL GOOD THINGS TAKE TIME.

The question is " Are you the redwood, or are you the seed ? "

A tall redwood provides support and leadership to everyone it touches and everyone that relies on it.

the mighty tree stands strong in face of fierce winds and strong pressures. The redwood bends, but does not break.

The seed on the other hand, waits. it must mature before it can spread its influence.

it must learn everything that is required of the tree so that when it's the seed's turn, the seed can also stand tall when its time has come.

P.S - I wanted everyone to read these lines by MICHAEL J. HERMAN.
