🚜 The Field That Answered Back
Two men were given equal plots of land on the same day.
The first man didn’t overthink it.
He looked at the soil, rolled up his sleeves, and went to work.
He planted what he had, repaired what was broken, and returned every dayβ€”whether he felt motivated or not.
Some days were slow.
Some days felt pointless.
Still, he worked the ground in front of him.
The second man studied his land from a distance.
He talked about what he would plant once conditions were right.
He listened to voices promising easier harvests and faster results.
He waited for certainty before committing effort.
The field remained untouchedβ€”but full of plans.
Time passed.
The first man’s field responded.
Not all at onceβ€”but steadily.
Shoots broke through the soil.
His family ate.
Others benefited from his consistency.
The second man’s field stayed quiet.
No harvest came.
His intentions were sincere, but hunger doesn’t respond to sincerityβ€”it responds to work.
And the land taught this lesson:
β€œThe field answers action, not intention.
What you work will feed you.
What you only imagine will not.”
πŸ‘‰ Be honestβ€”right now, are you working your field,
or are you still standing at the edge waiting to feel ready?
