Invest in the Root

“If you want the fruit, you must invest in the root. Don’t focus on the outcome, focus on the process that leads to great outcomes”. – Jon Gordon

What does that mean?

We often times get so stuck up on the outcomes we want to see that we forget what it takes to get there.

We are blinded by the comparison of our journey to that of those around us; we think we should be able to go from where we are (point A) to our desired outcome (Point B) overnight. 

Successful outcomes take hard work, patience, dedication, commitment, and devotion.

The root of success is a collection of habits, processes, discipline, and mindsets that lead to success eventually, not instantly.

To see the fruits of success, you have to willing to put in the necessary work and commit to watering the root of who you are, how you behave, and what you believe. 

You get out what you put in – good trees produce good fruit, bad trees produce bad fruit (Matthew 7:18).

If you want to get better, do better, and feel better, you have to be willing to get to the root of the problem and put in the work necessary to achieve your desired outcomes.
