551 | The Progress You Can't See

In this episode I am sharing some thoughts on the progress you can't see, and how often we judge ourselves for the progress that we can't see and then assume that nothing is happening. When you start judging yourself for the progress and then equating that to your value it will stop you faster than you realize. In today's episode we discuss: 1) You can have full certainty in your vision, and not have certainty in the path or how you will get there. There's a million ways to get there so how can you stay more open in all of the possible ways to get there? 2) Think of a bamboo tree. Its growth has been measured at almost 4 feet in a 24 hour period during the Spring shooting period. When the new shoot reaches its height, it will unfold its branches and new leaves. It teaches us lessons about patience, faith, perseverance, growth, development and, most importantly, human potential. It can take five years to grow. It has to be watered and fertilized in the ground where it has been planted every day. 3) Allow yourself to be proud of yourself and all the progress you've made. Especially the progress that no one else can see. You will overestimate what you can do in one year and underestimate what you can do in 10 years. You are literally the bamboo tree and sometimes it is one connection, one person, one opportunity or introduction that can change your story or situation.
