What you choose? Root or the Fruit?

 By Myron Golden 

Did you know that a tree has to grow in two directions at the same time?

Its growing down!

And Its growing up!

Whats interesting is - 

If you see the part of the tree underground

Its much similar to the part of the tree above

The root system is similar to the Fruit system

Here’s what is interesting about the tree!

The nature of the tree is that it is:

Both gravitropic and phototropic!

So gravitropic means it grows aways from light

And into gravity

Thats the root system

Its gravitropic!

So the seed goes down

And then the tree starts growing down

Before it starts growing up!

When the seed is under the ground

It is dark, damp and it has resistance;

The root system has resistance

It has to push through the dirt!

Well once it breaks through the earth

Growing up

There’s no looking back

It grows towards the light!

Now how does that help me with my life?

Its the work that you do in the dark and the damp

That makes up the work that sees the light of the day!

Former is the root system

Latter is the fruit system!

Everybody wants the Fruit system!

Most don't want the Root system!

But you have to plant the seed and do the 

Work in dark and the damp

That’s the Nature of Life!
