When Is the Best Time to Invest In Your Future?
I love big old trees like this one. It is one of the many old gum is on our property in central Victoria. But for me to appreciate this tree today, something had to happen many years ago.
It is the same with our future. A bright and prosperous future depends on us doing great things today. While in the world of social media, some people become rich, famous, celebrities, influencers and fabulous overnight, I can tell you (particularly in my case) that is not the norm.
Many years ago, the band The Presidents of the United States of America released an album which had a few songs about peaches. In one, there were millions of peaches, in another they were eating peaches on the back porch.
The concept of eating your own home grown fruit has always appealed to my gorgeous wife and I - so to make that happen, we had to do something today (well a couple of days ago actually).
I know I have mentioned before the saying, "The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago and the second best time is today." So we have chosen to embody that saying, peaches and all!
On Saturday we had 43 people and 5 dogs come and help us plant about 60 fruit trees and about 20 Golden Ash trees on our block with a Shed on it. We had done the hard work prior to fence off the area and protect the trees from the horses, kangaroos and anything else venturing in the paddock as well as setting up an automated irrigation system and pretreating the soil (there is a bit of clay there!)
It was a magical day and a pure delight to have family and friends helping build a better future for us all to share. Yes it was cold. Yes it had a bit of rain. Yes one of the dogs (naughty Molly) thought the trees were sticks to play with and tried to run off with them, but having that many people meant that it wasn't a great deal of work but there was a lot of celebration. Check out the photos below.
Dear-Reader, I am sure you are thinking, "well that's nice but I don't have a block or want fruit trees." That's ok. Everyone is different.
So what DO you want in your future?
What do you need to do NOW to make it happen?
Who can you get to help you start or progress your dream NOW?
Let me know if I can help.
