"No great thing is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen."
~ Epictetus from The Enchiridion
How brilliant is that?!?
My hunch is we share a passion to bring things to life NOW!!
I love the reminder that all great things take time…
What do you need to allow to blossom, bear fruit and then ripen?
