They say if you want apples, the best time to plant an apple
tree is 20 years ago. Since few of us have ready access to a flux capacitor,
the next best time to plant that tree is as soon as possible. Do what you can,
when you can, to the best of your abilities. It’s never too late to do the right
thing.
And while many have surrendered the action of planting
because it’s “too late,” there’s another group that thinks they have all the time
in the world. They know they want apples someday, but feel as though they have
plenty of opportunity to plant their trees in the future. However, no one knows how many planting days
they have allotted. Life can change in an instant and no one is promised
another season to sow their seeds.
There is never a convenient time to make the sacrifice of
burying your seeds in the ground now and begin cultivating the trees for fruit
in the future. If this were easy, the
trees you plant today would produce apples tomorrow, but that’s not how it
works. It’s a long-term payoff, but you have the choice to start the clock
today and, for those of us without a time machine, today is the best day to
begin. It’s never too late, nor is it ever too early, to plant your seeds for
the future.
