Having had ancestors who were farmers, it taught me a lot to listen to them talk about growth patterns. Much of the growth begins underground where it is not initially seen. Farmers wait patiently for seeds to sprout, then for improvement in the size of the plant, and the harvest to ripen. Our internal grow is much the same - not initially noted. Yet seeds planted over time sprout new patterns of thinking, leading to healthier behaviors. The harvest is rich. Focus on patiently improving rather than immediate change.
