There is power in silence. Creation starts with a single seed. It stays buried in the soil, covered in darkness, without any evidence that is there. But beneath the surface, it’s forming its root system into the ground and it’s taking in nutrients and water. And it remains there, patiently growing into something greater than it was. All without calling attention to itself.
When a tree falls in the forest, it makes a huge noise. You know something happened because of the sound and the destruction that lays in the tree’s wake.
In our modern world, we need to remember that creation is silent because there is so much noise around us. We are drowning in it. Think about people you know who are always telling everyone and anyone how great things are in their life. Or how people’s curated lives on Instagram or Facebook looks amazing. They are broadcasting themselves or showing their highlight reel and many times it’s not even an accurate reflection of reality.
When you are trying to create something, whether it’s a business or you are trying to improve yourself, know that like the seed, your progress might not be readily visible for the whole world to see. And that is totally okay. It doesn’t matter what others see, what matters is what you see and what you know. Like the seed in the soil, there might not be evidence of your growth. But if you were to peer underneath the surface, in silence, a whole new world is emerging.
