What does the quote “Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant” mean?
Life is unjust and unfair if your perception is focused only
on the outcomes of your efforts. To change that perception, one must need to
understand the concept of efforts and outcomes.
Our daily actions define us and it charts the path of our
progress. The small act that we do day in and day out adds up to make a big
impact on our growth.
The unpleasant thing about this is that others perceive us based on our outcomes. We are judged based on the results we produce and not the actions we put in. The limelight that success enjoys has put a dark spot-on failure.
Society does not reward for trying but only for winning.
However harsh may it sound but this is the reality and that
reality has forced us to change our perception of winning and losing. That is
the reason, we want to win in our every act. We look for solid outcomes from
our every effort. We want instant results for our minutest actions. When
results fail to match our expectations, we cave in to call it quits. This might
be the reason why many prefer mediocrity over doing something more challenging.
Fear of losing out and being called out by society because
of that failure has forced many to abandon their dream and choose the path
chosen by society.
So, what is the thing that many miss out on while acting on
their dreams?
PATIENCE!
Yes, you heard it right. Great things take time. The effort
you put in today might not be visible in the result column today, but it is
adding up for sure to reflect collectively in that result column after some
time.
Just believe in the process. Give your 100% & optimize,
but don’t give up.
The words of Robert Louis Stevenson offer a perfect analogy
for this situation.
Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the
seeds that you plant.
Acting on your dreams every day is like planting seeds every
day. You won’t see them ready for harvest in a moment. It takes time for that
seed to grow and be ripe for harvest. You might hate to face it that your
current action is inapt to provide you instant results, but sometimes it is not
the way we want but the way it is supposed to happen.
If you focus on planting with perfection by carefully
choosing the seeds and the fertile soil to plant those seeds, the harvest will
take care of itself. When you focus too much on the harvest, you will miss out
on the opportunities to improvise the planting.
It will take time to reap your harvest and when we ingrain
this wisdom in our heart, outcomes will never deter our zeal to prevail.
Patience is the key to success. Some confuse waiting with
patience. Is Patience Just Like a Waiting Game or Something More Than That?
In accordance with the previous analogy, it is like planting
seeds and not accepting that seed to grow up, in an instant, to be ready for
harvest. Patience gives you the perspective of the long-term game and will
inspire you to work on your dreams & optimize the approach when needed.
Pursue your Dream with Patience. Do not measure your
creative effort by the results that it yields in moments but adapt the virtue
of patience and believe that your efforts will combine one day to make a
positive impact on your creative journey.
