Achieving your dreams is easy, provided you know how to plant trees. First you sow the seeds of desire in your heart. Then you water them consistently with your efforts, protect them from the fire of hate and despair, nourish them with the light of happiness and then patiently wait for them to bloom into trees. It’s just what this Zen saying is all about:
“Stay thirsty but do not become impatient. Let there be emotional yearning but avoid frustration. If you obsess about it, it will never happen. Just like a seed doesn’t blossom into a flower if you keep on staring at it… Be patient and it will come naturally, on its own terms.” (Zen Saying)
Be Patient – Achieve Your Dreams – Feel Hearty.
