Sprout

I remember back, early spring, when me and my mother decided to plant some vegetables in the back yard. It was still cold and the sun rarely came out, only dark gloomy skies could be seen. My mother told me that nothing would grow in that lifeless spot of soil, yet we still planted that cherry tomatoe plant. She turned to me and said "Don't get your hopes up, it probably won't survive and if it does it won't grow that much." I told her she was wrong that it would make it through that cold spring we were havign. I had hope in that plant that it would grow and that by summer I would have loads of tomatoes, but there was a part of me that doubted myself.

One day of the blue my mother reminded me of that small plant. I went outback to have a look and to my surprise it already had some little green tomatoes hanging off of it. Days, weeks, months passed by and it continued to grow. I began asking myself why I had doubted myself in the first place? Today that plant is far from small. It's taken over a huge section in my backyard that it has gone over the fence. My dad keeps bringing in cherry tomatoes to what seems like a daily routine, that we have gotten to the point where our fridge is overflowing with them and have started to just not pick them at all.

Just like that palnt, life is quiet similar aswell. We all have goals, dreams, ambitions etc. that we want to accomplsih in our life. They start out small just like that tomato plant and we plant it to see how far it'll grow. Many of us begin to doubt ourselves because people will tell us that those goals we have will never happen. That we'll never be able to reach it and we take step back to see that even though it might seem like a big dream it's acutally small. So small that it will never grow and we realize that those people are right. Yet some manage to see past that point and just wait to see what it might become. Paitence is the key to all of it which we must learn and acquire throughout our existence.
One day we'll look out and see that our dreams have grown. That they have grown so much that it has open doors to many opportunities that we never thought would have been possible. We'll look back to when those dreams were small and ask why we ever doubted in them? why we couldn't see the bigger picture? Life is all about having paitence and waiting, waiting for things that are uncertain. Who knows what those dreams will come to be. They might start out small just like that small tomatoe plant, it's future unknown, but eventually it'll grow.
