Key Takeaways
Growth takes time, just like a seed needs nurturing to bloom.
Patience is active, not passive; it’s about keeping a good attitude while waiting.
There are three types of patience:
o Interpersonal (with others)
o Hardship (during major life challenges)
o Daily hassles (traffic, delays, etc.)
Self-sabotage and perfectionism often block progress, patience helps dismantle them.
Mindfulness, gratitude, and tiny consistent steps cultivate a patient mindset.
Learn to trust your timing and honour your body and mind’s natural pace.
Celebrate the small wins, they’re the seeds of long-term change.
Line from the poetic story; "Know you won’t reap rewards from the seeds you never plant."
