The Chinese Bamboo Tree


In the far east they have something that’s call the Chinese bamboo tree. The Chinese bamboo tree takes five years to grow.


They have to water and fertilize the ground where it is every day, and it doesn’t break through the ground until the fifth year. But once it breaks through the ground, within five weeks it grows 90 feet tall.


Now the question is does it grow 90 feet tall in five weeks, or five years?


The answer is obvious. It grows 90 feet tall in five years.
Because at any time, had that person stopped watering and nurturing and fertilizing that dream, that bamboo tree would’ve died in the ground.


“You got to keep on watering your dreams.”
Les Brown


Training the body and relationships are similar to the bamboo tree. You have to water and fertilize the ground daily. It’s not something happens overnight. You can’t expect for the bamboo tree to break the ground if you’re not diligent and have Patience.


Hiking is a great source for meditation, it provides some of the fertilizers that’s needed to stimulate our roots. Here’s a list of my top favorite trekking gear.
