It’s silly to think that soil alone – untouched, unplanted, uncultivated – will produce a harvest. The fruit and vegetables do not just have a way of appearing. Someone has to plant the seeds and cultivate the land. In other words, someone has to do the work. There is no elevator in life to success – instead, there’s a door that you must walk through to get to the stairs that you then need to climb one step at a time. It takes effort. It takes energy. It takes hard work. What are you putting off working on? If you want the end result, go out and do the work!
