Learn, Share, Grow - The Journey of the Bamboo Tree

Below is a lesson from davidji on patience and enjoying life's journey, as well as our key learnings.

The Blue Courage team is dedicated to continual learning and growth.  We have adopted a concept from Simon Sinek’s Start With Why team called “Learn, Share, Grow”.  We are constantly finding great articles, videos, and readings that have so much learning.  As we learn new and great things, this new knowledge should be shared for everyone to then grow from.

 Key Learnings:

• Patience and Persistence: Just like the bamboo tree takes time to grow and flourish, significant achievements in life often require patience and persistence. Success doesn't happen overnight, and consistent effort over time is essential.

• Nurturing and Care: Like the bamboo tree needing nurturing during its early years, people, projects, and goals also require nurturing and care to thrive. Investing time, effort, and attention into what matters to us is crucial for growth and success.

• Trust the Process: Even when it seems like nothing is happening, it's important to trust the process and continue nurturing our goals and dreams. Growth often occurs beneath the surface before it becomes visible. Trusting in the process and staying committed can lead to eventual success.

• Enjoy the Journey: Each stage of life and every step toward our goals should be appreciated and enjoyed. Just as the bamboo tree experiences different stages of growth, we too should find joy in the journey, embracing both the challenges and successes along the way.

• Self-compassion: It's important to be patient and kind to ourselves as we work towards our goals. Just as the bamboo tree needs nurturing, we need to show ourselves compassion and understanding during times of growth and development.
