As we traverse our THPL journey and try to break through and get the proper amount of attention and “sunlight” we realize that it does take a bit of time to make that happen. Patience, a plan, some effort and a willingness to endure are the necessary elements that allow us to continue to grow and develop. Just like the bean, (see the link to time-lapse video) reaching for the sky requires that we put down strong roots in coordination with pushing up through the soil and getting any obstacles that are in our path out of the way. It is an apt metaphor for each of us as we think about our own individual growth plans. Set the roots, push through the obstacles, and reach for the sky. It is a beautiful scene that gets played out every day as each of us make the most of our THPL life…
