Invest in your dream
A dream produces fruit to sustain itself first and then to feed you.
Glen A. McQuirk
I do not know of a fruit farmer who picks the fruit from a tree in its first few years of growth to eat or sell. He allows the fruit to fall at the base of the tree and rot so that it nourishes the roots and strengthens it. It is only when the tree is mature that he will begin to harvest. Too often people plant incredible dream seed only to pick the fruit of their dream prematurely. It is so easy to fall into this trap. Some even eat the plant itself before it has had time to bare its first fruits. If this does not kill their dream, it has the effect of keeping it stunted; it appears as a bonsai, just never reaching its full potential. We need to keep from being tempted to rob our dream of the fruit that sustains its development. Some of the fruit must be reinvested to sustain growth. Give your dream the best opportunity to become what it was born to be.
How are you reinvesting into your dream?
