We often think of slow growth as flawed growth, but the truth is that all good things grow slow like babies, fruits, relationships and big dreams.

We don't like slow progress, we want perfect and finished right out of the gate. But we have to understand that the best things grow little by little over time.

Let us take an example, if we plant a seed and dump a water on it, can we expect a full grown plant and flowers the next day ?

We create those kinds of unrealistic and unhealthy expectations in our own life. We chase after fast results only to feel inadequate when they don't happen. 

Slow growth allow us time to prepare, learn and grow. Little by little progress adds up and in the wait we are ripened and readied. We have to trust that what we want to cultivate matters enough to allow it tp grow over time as we take small steps forward and some big leaps along the way too. Our cultivated life matters enough to tend it like a garden and trust that the efforts invested over time will add up.

May be we feel restless in an area of our life that's not growing as fast as we had like. We want to know all the details of the path ahead before we take action on something that wr have always wanted to do.

Nurturing growth and embracing small bits of progress will get us anywhere fast. May be cultivating an intentional life means what happens over time like the richness of relationships rather than getting to the finish line. When something matters to us, we don't focus on how slow the journey is to get there, we keep moving forward because the path forward is worth it. 

The world says that do more, grow fast, be big , go ahead. But that's not how good things take root. We have to understand that what happens over time is better than instant results. Because when we only focus on the finish line or on perfect outcomes, we miss all the life that happens that happens along the way and we miss good things right infront of us on the journey. 

So it's ok to grow slow. Slow growth allows us time to prepare, learn and grow. Therefore, growth is growth, doesn't matter fast or slow.
