How long does it take for a tree to grow from a seed? If you planted a tree, would you rush to the window the next day and expect to see it fully grown with a big trunk and beautiful leaves? I doubt it, since we know that trees take many years to grow.

Yet when it comes to our goals and dreams, this is exactly how many of us act. We say we want to accomplish a goal and expect to have it fully formed and manifested in a week, a few weeks or maybe a few months if you’re feeling generous with yourself 😊 How about a goal that can take a year or two – how does that make you feel? Far too long to wait?
Many of us live in a society where instant gratification has become the norm. With online shopping, we can think of something we want in the morning and have it delivered by the evening!
As soon as we have one thing, our minds turn to what can we get next. The mind is never really satisfied and always looking for the next thing to make us feel good.
I sometimes wonder if this is why we think we have to achieve all of our goals and dreams right now, because we’re so used to getting things as soon as we want them?
Just as a farmer sows the seeds and waits for the harvest, you need to give yourself the same leeway when it comes to your goals. Be realistic.
Don’t rush and assume you can take all the actions and steps in a short amount of time and achieve your goal. You can for some of course, but for the goals which stretch you, give yourself some time and be patient.
Everything is energy so imagine your goal as an energetic seed to begin with. You start with the energy of intent that you want this seed to manifest into your goal. You nurture and feed that seed with good energy such as positive beliefs, mindset, thoughts and feelings.
As you think about your goal and take action, imagine that energetic seed becoming stronger and growing into your goal. Give yourself the time and space to grow this seed successfully. Don’t rush into trying to get your goal manifested quickly.
Be mindful of the negative energy you can give to your goal. Every doubt, fear or worry is like putting weed-killer on your energetic seed, your goal may well wither and die if you focus on the negative aspects too much.
Reframe the goals and dreams you have in life. Start them off as energetic seeds which you nourish and grow with positive energy and action. Add fun, joy, even laughter in manifesting your goal.
And just as a farmer will patiently wait for the harvest, give yourself permission to take a reasonable amount of time for your goal or dream to manifest. Isn’t it better to achieve it eventually than just give up because nothing happened quickly?
Enjoy the journey towards accomplishing your goal just as much as achieving it. Celebrate the small wins along the way.
We’re all different so become comfortable with however long it takes you to reach your goal. Never judge yourself against someone else.
With enough patience, persistence and belief in yourself, you will get there.
