When I was a child, one day I was watching my dad planting tomato seeds. The next day I asked him “Father, where is the tomato?” He responded”you need to be patient”. The next day, I rushed to the garden, but I saw nothing. I said, “Dad I have been waiting but I do not see anything”.

He answered, “you must be kind to them so they can grow”. Then he taught me kindness by putting cover over the plant at night when the weather was cold. To pick up the cover in the morning so the plants can get sun. Once a week to give water to the plants, to add nutritional soil, and to take any weeds out.

Later, I felt a sense of ownership and asked my dad what else may I do? To which he replied, “every day at a certain time sit down, close your eyes, be silent for a while(meditate), then think
that tomatoes will be here one day.

I asked him, “what day are they coming? He told me “it depends on the sun. If we have more sunny days it could be a month, if we have more cloudy days it takes longer”.

One day I could not believe my eyes, I saw garden looked even mor beautyful by color of riped tomatoes. I ask father any other advise he smile and said, yes, do not rush when you are eating them.

As I got older, I realized to reap what we sew, we must be patient and have a proper attitude – meaning, take care of the tasks on hand. To start a new goal you must think, plan, prepare, take action, be consistent, and never give up. Be patient about what you do – meaning, intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually. Connect with what you want by meditating, visualizing and thinking that you are doing something wonderful which benefits you, and may benefit others.
