Inch by Inch ...

One act of kindness at a time

Once a woman who planted
some 50,000 daffodil bulbs
in her back yard --one at a time--
over a period of nearly fifty years!

"Year after year, she kept planting
bulbs until she had created

five acres of ineffable magnificence,
beauty and inspiration.
After seeing the spectacular garden
one woman remarked,

'It makes me sad in a way.
What might I have accomplished
if I had thought of a wonderful
goal 35 or 40 years ago

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

and had worked on it one bulb at a time
through all those years? Just think what
I might have been able to achieve!'

Her daughter responded,
'Start tomorrow.'
The mother said, 'I'll start today.'

It's amazing what can be accomplished
by doing just a little every day,
day after day. You've probably heard
the old saying that says,

"Inch by inch anything's a cinch--
but yard by yard it's miles too hard."

When I first wanted to write a book,
it seemed like an overwhelming task.
However, a friend suggested I
considered writing just one page
at a time. "I can handle that,"
I said to myself …
and that's what I did 205 times.

Not many people are going to plant
five acres of daffodils and not
everybody is going to write a book.

However, the important thing is
to invest your life in a worthwhile cause
that will achieve at least three things:

(1) it will have eternal value,
(2) it will benefit others, and
(3) it will give you a deep sense
of satisfaction in that you will not
have lived in vain but have achieved
something worthwhile with your life.
It doesn't have to be profound or earth
shattering-- just significant.

And that you can start today …
one "bulb," one "page,"
one kind word of encouragement,
one act of kindness at a time …
every day for the rest of your life.
