“Wishing is a form of inspiration for the lazy mind but taking action, persisting and finding alternative routes to your destination against all odds is the definition of a SUCCESSFUL venture.”
Oscar Bimpong
A wish is simply a seed that is sown that can grow into a great tree or a beautiful flower. But for the seed to survive and become what is is capable of it must overcome all sorts of challenges and obstacles. In the same manner for a wish to grow it must be nurtured, it won’t happen by accident or through simple desire.
This quote reminds me of the parable of the sower from Matthew 13: 1-23. For our wish to become reality it must fall on good soil and be tended and protected. That is our responsibility and obligation as leaders. To achieve great things we can’t be content with wishing, we must instead ensure that our dreams, and the dreams of those whom we serve, are nurtured, encouraged, and sustained against all odds. If wishes are seeds then we are gardeners charged with ensuring they grow to their full potential.
What seeds are worth taking from dream to reality? What seeds are worth planting and protecting no matter what happens?
