Until You Start


The great French Marshall Lyautey once asked his gardener to plant a tree. The gardener objected that the tree was slow growing and would not reach maturity for 100 years. The Marshall replied, 'In that case, there is no time to lose; plant it this afternoon!'

I think this same philosophy applies to almost any task we undertake. The final result may take some time to become a reality, but the important thing is that we start. Until we do that, nothing will ever happen. The ship will never sail, the tree will never grow & the cure for cancer will never be found. So, no matter how daunting that task may seem, just start it. For, only then, can it ever become a reality.

I hope you have a wonderful and productive day.
