Background Image
In every forest, on every farm, in every orchard on earth, it's what's under the ground that creates what's above the ground. that's why placing your attention on the fruits that you have already grown is futile. you cannot change the fruits that are already hanging on the tree. you can, however, change tomorrow's fruits. but to do so, you will have to dig below the ground and strengthen the roots.

In Every Forest, On Every Farm, In

T. Harv Eker
In every forest, on every farm, in every orchard on earth, it's what's under the ground that creates what's above the ground. that's why placing your attention on the fruits that you have already grown is futile. you cannot change the fruits that are already hanging on the tree. you can, however, change tomorrow's fruits. but to do so, you will have to dig below the ground and strengthen the roots.

More From T. Harv Eker

Great winds and storms help fruit-bearing trees. so also do corruptions and temptations help the fruitfulness of grace and holiness. the storm loosens the earth round its roots so the tree is able to get its roots deeper into the earth, where it receives fresh supplies of nourishment. but only much later will it be seen to bring forth better fruit. so corruptions and temptations develop the roots of humility, self-abasement and mourning in a deeper search for that grace by which holiness grows strong. but only later will there be visible fruits of increased holiness.
Strong Humility Self
Consider a tree for a moment. as beautiful as trees are to look at, we don't see what goes on underground - as they grow roots. trees must develop deep roots in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. but we don't see the roots. we just see and enjoy the beauty. in much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the roots of a tree.
Beautiful Strong Order
A tree is alive, and thus it is always more than you can see. roots to leaves, yes-those you can, in part, see. but it is more-it is the lichens and moss and ferns that grow on its bark, the life too small to see that lives among its roots, a community we know of, but do not think on. it is every fly and bee and beetle that uses it for shelter or food, every bird that nests in its branches. every one an individual, and yet every one part of the tree, and the tree part of every one.
Thinking Roots Community
Do you say that tree isn't pretty cause it doesn't look like that tree? we're all trees. you're a tree. i'm a tree. you've got to love your body, eve. you've got to love your tree. love your tree. (leah)
Tree Looks Body
Leaves are usually looked upon as the children of the tree. yes, they are children of the tree, born from the tree, but they are also mothers of the tree. the leaves combine raw sap, water, and minerals, with sunshine and gas, and convert it into a variegated sap that can nourish the tree. in this way, the leaves become the mother of the tree. we are all children of society, but we are also mothers. we have to nourish society. if we are uprooted from society, we can not trasform it into a more liveable place for us and our children.
Mother Children Sunshine
Do you know that even when you look at a tree and say, `that is an oak tree', or `that is a banyan tree', the naming of the tree, which is botanical knowledge, has so conditioned your mind that the word comes between you and actually seeing the tree? to come in contact with the tree you have to put your hand on it and the word will not help you to touch it.

When jett puts my face in his hands and tells me, 'mommy you're so pretty' or smells me, it's so wonderful.
Hands Smell Faces
He that floats lazily down the stream, in pursuit of something borne along by the same current, will find himself indeed moved forward; but unless he lays his hand to the oar, and increases his speed by his own labour, must be always at the same distance from that which he is following.
Distance Hands Effort
Amazing, how much more difficult it was to extend his arm twelve inches and touch her hand than it was to snatch a speeding snitch from midair.
