“People quit because it takes too long to see results, because they can't figure out that the process is the result.”

Ain’t it the truth! Tonight I was talking to one of my students. After a lot of exchanging on the process of becoming a musician I finally said, “You need to have faith.” I mean “we” all of us, need to have faith. No musician can achieve their greatness if they are focussed on expectation and instant gratification...
It may seem impossible to think that under the snow the beginnings of new flowers are sleeping. But they are. Plants are getting ready for the time when spring comes to tap them on the shoulder. So it must be with us. Nature is constantly providing references for how we must behave. We plant a seed in the ground. We water it we wait. From the outside it appears that nothing is happening. But inside the dark ground the seed is making a choice too. “Do I venture out? Do I risk becoming something I am not?” I do not know if the seed is having an internal debate (we will have to learn to speak “seed” and ask one) but if we think of ourselves as seeds, knowing what we know, would we doubt our ability to become a majestic tree or flower or beautiful tomato?
We all have something to discover in the process of becoming. Enjoy it. Embrace it. Allow yourself to discover the journey that takes you beyond the shell of the seed inside you.
Namaste!
