Trust the Sprouts

There is a great actor I’m working with at the moment

And something else he’s very good at

Is growing plants

So here is a process for growing flowers

(Go with me on this)

Rich, Nutritious soil

Accomodating environment 

Plant Seeds

Feed every day (water & fertiliser)

Monitor & Maintain

Appreciate result 

Start again

mmm

Curious 

Did you see it?

There is a moment here I’m interested in 

Actually there are a bunch

But let’s just focus on one

Feed every day

Why?

If the seeds are under the soil

And are not flowers yet

And all I can see is dirt

Then why feed them every day?

Process + Time

There is trust in a process of growth

And there is time

These two things combined

Equals sprouts

Now

Sprouts are not flowers

So one could just throw out the pot and say “it doesn’t work”

But any caring gardener knows

Sprouts are evidence

Evidence that you are on track

Keep going

Mmm

Curious 

Let’s do the obvious and apply this to acting

Do you have a process of growth you trust enough to be patient with?

And what sprouts do you have which provide evidence that you are on track?

Hope this helps
