The Truth That Prevents Most People From Success! | The Bamboo Principle! | RFP Ep.5

Have you ever heard of the Bambo principle?

What if I told you that there's a tree that doesn't go for 5 years, even if you water

it every day?

5 years?

No visible sign of results.

And then finally breaks the soil and explodes 90 feet in 5 weeks.

Most people would quit after 6 months and that's why they never go to their full potential.

Let me show you where patience is one of the most underrated skills in successful living.

Greetings and welcome back to another magnificent episode of the Renaissance Fires podcast where

we aspire to inspire until we expire.

This podcast is centered around empowerment and self actualizing the best version of

yourself.

Because at the end of the day, we're on here to collect memories and you only get

one life.

So you might as well chase the dream and swing for the fences.

Just consider me to be a modern descendant of Harriet Tubman, being one man at a time.

If personal development and creating the best version of yourself is something that you

are interested in, then definitely like and subscribe and join the Renaissance family.

Thank you for tuning in for part 1 of the delayed gratification, mini series and my host

Judas X and today I'll be talking about what I'm calling the Bambo principle.

Took a characteristics of the Bambo principle is the delayed gratification and intentional

action.

Also known as patience and intentionality.

The combination of the delayed gratification and intentional action is the success formula

to get you to the promised land regardless of where your destination is.

The delayed gratification is the ability to resist immediate reward in order to receive

a larger more meaningful reward later on.

Basically it's sacrificing short term reward for long term benefits like exercising consistently

know so you can enjoy good health later on in life.

While intentional action is doing something on purpose, guided by a clear objective as

opposed to operating off emotion, impulse or habit.

It's much easier to have purposeful steps when you know exactly where you're going.

So you always have to be able to articulate what you're doing what you're doing.

The whole is far less important than the way because when your way is clear, your actions

are purposeful and intentional.

And with a powerful way, you can overcome any hole.

The reason intentionality is so instrumental for successful outcomes in your life is because

resources are finite.

We only have a limited amount of time and energy in a day and there's only 24 hours in

one day.

Also remember, we're living on borrowed time so every time this unsets is one less day

that you have to enjoy this magnificent thing that we call life.

And I think to myself,

what I wonder for you tomorrow isn't promised.

So today is far too precious to squandle.

Time is the most valuable commodity that you will ever own in this lifetime because it's

the only thing that you can give that you can't get back.

So intentional action allow you to maximize the returns for your inputs.

But while you're executing these intentional actions, it's far more important to demonstrate

patience.

Lack of patience is one of the number one reasons that most people don't reap the foods

of their labor because they give up before the foods are ripe.

Wanting to remember it never happens when you want it to happen.

It always happens when it's supposed to happen.

It says it takes 20 years to become an overnight success, but they always only show you the

finished product.

So the expectation in the microwave age is that everything is supposed to be instantaneous

like Amazon delivery.

Have you ever heard of the Chinese bamboo tree?

It's an exceptional illustration of the mindset and perspective that you should have when

you're pursuing your goals because it demonstrates the powerful combination of intentional actions,

patience and consistent effort.

The Chinese bamboo tree is native to China and East Asia and is widely found in Southern

and Central China.

The Chinese bamboo tree takes five years to go and the ground where the seed is planted

has to be watered every day without fail in order for the growth to happen.

For five years, it won't break the soil.

There's absolutely no visible signs that growth is happening because in the first few years

it has to develop a deep root system and build structural strength in preparation to support

the massive vertical growth.

Because if it were to shoot up without developing the roots, it's bound to collapse.

And the difference between good and great is the perseverance to continue when it looks

like nothing is happening.

But to be fair, could you imagine having that conversation with your neighbour about

the seed that you planted two years ago and you can't even see the stem, they definitely

said that you're delusional, but that's why they said you shouldn't tell people your

dreams because if they don't know your dreams, then they can't shoot them down.

So if you've been diligent in water in the seed after five years, it finally breaks the

soil.

And when it breaks the soil, it goes 90 feet in five weeks.

It's like no, building the app before the flood because he had a vision.

Everybody thought he was crazy until it started raining.

That's why it's imperative for you to study course and ignore the outside noise.

The underlying tone of the Chinese bamboo tree is that consistent positive actions toward

the outdoors create the momentum that you need to manifest results beyond your wildest imagination.

Said differently, intentional actions faster better execution, which leads to more fruitful

results over time.

It's the snowball effect.

In science and system theories, the snowball effect refers to a positive feedback process

where the initial small change increases in magnitude through self-reinforcing cycles

which leads to exponential growth.

Greetings and welcome to the Judas Jews corner.

I'm your guide throughout the episode Judas Hendrix and I'm here to provide you with

all the relevant information that you need to stay abreast with what's happening in

the episode and not get lost in the sauce.

Dr. Ho is out there trying out scientific terms like he got a PhD and he barely got a bachelor's.

The snowball effect simply means small consistent actions over a long enough period of time

create massive returns.

Once you get going downhill, it's much easier and faster for you to pick up momentum and

get to your goals faster.

You see how simple that was?

Sharp, sweet and to the point but don't worry.

That's why I here to make sure that you go now back to the episode.

In physics it's understood that a snowball rolling downhill increases in mass which increases

the gravitational force which increases velocity which increases the overall accumulation.

Essentially you just accumulate more experience and insight so your output increases creating

a large impact as you move forward but it's impossible to create that momentum without

consistent motion.

But the snowball effect also works in the opposite direction as well and has a negative impact.

For example, you start with complacency which leads to procrastination which leads to

stress and anxiety which ultimately leads to avoidance.

Complacency ultimately leads to a vicious cycle of inaction because everything is compounding.

So once you get trapped it's hard to get told so you want to ensure that your momentum

is heading in the right direction.

Five years of consistent action gets you 90 feet of manifestation in five weeks.

I would say that's even a fee exchange, the foundational principle of cause and effect.

The million dollar question is do you have the patience?

You always get back more than what you saw because you started with a seed and ended up

with a 90 feet tree.

So practice sawing good seeds, sawing the right seed can produce the tree that will change

your life for the rest of your life.

That's why it's important for your goals to be very audacious because you possess the

ability to determine whether you want a garden or forest.

Greetings and welcome back to the Judas Jewel's Conor, it's the one and only Judas Hendrix.

I caught into management, I got to close out the episodes in order to pull my way.

So you know, here we are, new year, same compensation, crazy work, absolutely crazy work but

we gotta do what we gotta do so.

Just to quickly recap, the combination of delay gratification and intentional action is

the success, formula to get you to the promised land regardless of where your destination is.

The Chinese bamboo tree is a metaphor for the journey to your goals.

Even though you might not see instantaneous returns, be aware in mind that sometimes

you need to grow down in order to grow up because the roots need time to develop.

So take the time to create a solid foundation to ensure your longevity.

We live in unborrowed time, so you might as well do something worthwhile with the time

that you have and not work well by anyone else's standards but you.

You get one shot in life, so why not make it an extravagant one.

The only limitations that you have is the ones you choose to believe.

Y'all, for a few years could start today, so don't hesitate any longer.

Time is too precious for that.

If you found anything useful in this episode, definitely like, subscribe, share, tell your

friends, tell your mother, tell your father, tell your aunt, tell your brother, tell everybody.

So that could tap in and become a Pat or the Renaissance family.

Remember, you're only one change away from changing your life for the rest of your life.

I'll see you on Pat 2 to the delayed gratification, mini-series, but until next time, man, just

continue elevating all the hill.
