Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
John 15:8
Often times we have lofty goals and expectations of what we expect in our lives. However, the cares of this world cause us to abort our mission long before what we are anticipating manifests. Nevertheless, we continue on in life with the delusion that someday if we wish hard enough, that which we desire will magically appear. Without any effort we hope for the best, but deep down inside, in places we don’t talk about, we expect the worst. Les Brown said “that you should judge a tree by the fruit that it bears, not by the fruit it talks about, not by the fruit it wants, but by the fruit it bears.” In order to make our dreams a reality we must utilize discipline and effort. We must engage in daily activities that move us in the direction of that which we desire. It is then, and only then that we will realize the fruit of our labor and the manifestation of our goals.
“WANT shows up in conversation – EXPECTATION shows up in behavior.”
Les Brown
