Not squashing the sprouts

So often as creators, we get impatient, and give up, just as our little sprouts are coming up out of the ground.

Our success doesn't bowl us over at first. Maybe we want to have a million subscribers, and now we only have four...

But if we can see those four as the little seeds of our success, we can recognize that consistency will grow them into a big tree one day.

The energy that's created those four little sprouts... will then become a dozen, and then a hundred... and so on.

The acorn does not complain: "Screw this! I am not an oak tree yet!" Instead, she keeps moving, steadily towards the light.
