Good Morning,

Perhaps you have done it. I know I have, put a packet of seeds back to plant later. The other day, I wall looking at a letter I received from my Aunt in 1961 containing some seeds from an Arizona cactus she sent me to plant. They are still there, unplanted. It is highly unlikely that they would even grow if I planted them some 60 years later.

This goes with opportunities and ideas as well as seeds. An opportunity not taken advantage of or an idea not cultivated and acted upon will never grow and bear fruit. Time passes by and the world changes. Someone else will come up with the same idea and does something about it. Another will be taken advantage of the opportunity no seized.

Life is full of great opportunities. All of us have great ideas. Act on them before it is too late. If you don't, the seeds will die, the tree will not be planted and you will never pick the delicious fruit.

Enjoy a fruitful week.

Jim

This was originally published in October of 2021. The message bears repeating. I stlll have the seeds sitting on my desk, never planted. Perhaps the sentimental value and fond memories of my Aunt are more important than trying to plant them to see if they will grow.
