Night and day, while he’s asleep or awake, the seed sprouts and grows, but he does not understand how it happens. – Mark 4:27
Plant the seed. Publish the blog post. Share your ideas. Write the song, perform it and upload the video onto YouTube. Run a product launch. Ask for the sale. Design that app. Make that phone call. Do something you’ve never done before. Do something that terrifies you, and then do it again.
When you do this, you’re placing your seed in the ground and giving it a chance to grow.
Yes, it might fail. Yes, it might be eaten by the birds, stolen by a competitor or destroyed by drought or locusts.
That’s why you sow more than one seed…you don’t know whether your harvest will be 30, 60, or 100-fold.
And when your seed is in the ground/the marketplace/interacting with other people, the potential it carries is activated.
It knows how to do this. All it needs is for you to give it the chance to grow.
