START AGAIN MONDAYS
14/03/22
Trust the Sprouts
There is a great actor I’m working with at the moment
And something else he’s very good at
Is growing plants
So here is a process for growing flowers
(Go with me on this)
Rich, Nutritious soil
Accomodating environment
Plant Seeds
Feed every day (water & fertiliser)
Monitor & Maintain
Appreciate result
Start again
mmm
Curious
Did you see it?
There is a moment here I’m interested in
Actually there are a bunch
But let’s just focus on one
Feed every day
Why?
If the seeds are under the soil
And are not flowers yet
And all I can see is dirt
Then why feed them every day?
Process + Time
There is trust in a process of growth
And there is time
These two things combined
Equals sprouts
Now
Sprouts are not flowers
So one could just throw out the pot and say “it doesn’t work”
But any caring gardener knows
Sprouts are evidence
Evidence that you are on track
Keep going
Mmm
Curious
Let’s do the obvious and apply this to acting
Do you have a process of growth you trust enough to be patient with?
And what sprouts do you have which provide evidence that you are on track?
Sending hugs
