Have you ever heard of the Bambo principle?
0:02
What if I told you that there's a tree that doesn't go for 5 years, even if you water
0:09
No visible sign of results.
0:10
And then finally breaks the soil and explodes 90 feet in 5 weeks.
0:15
Most people would quit after 6 months and that's why they never go to their full potential.
0:19
Let me show you where patience is one of the most underrated skills in successful living.
0:30
Greetings and welcome back to another magnificent episode of the Renaissance Fires podcast where
0:38
we aspire to inspire until we expire.
0:41
This podcast is centered around empowerment and self actualizing the best version of
0:48
Because at the end of the day, we're on here to collect memories and you only get
0:52
So you might as well chase the dream and swing for the fences.
0:55
Just consider me to be a modern descendant of Harriet Tubman, being one man at a time.
1:00
If personal development and creating the best version of yourself is something that you
1:04
are interested in, then definitely like and subscribe and join the Renaissance family.
1:09
Thank you for tuning in for part 1 of the delayed gratification, mini series and my host
1:14
Judas X and today I'll be talking about what I'm calling the Bambo principle.
1:19
Took a characteristics of the Bambo principle is the delayed gratification and intentional
1:25
Also known as patience and intentionality.
1:28
The combination of the delayed gratification and intentional action is the success formula
1:33
to get you to the promised land regardless of where your destination is.
1:37
The delayed gratification is the ability to resist immediate reward in order to receive
1:42
a larger more meaningful reward later on.
1:46
Basically it's sacrificing short term reward for long term benefits like exercising consistently
1:52
know so you can enjoy good health later on in life.
1:56
While intentional action is doing something on purpose, guided by a clear objective as
2:01
opposed to operating off emotion, impulse or habit.
2:04
It's much easier to have purposeful steps when you know exactly where you're going.
2:10
So you always have to be able to articulate what you're doing what you're doing.
2:13
The whole is far less important than the way because when your way is clear, your actions
2:19
are purposeful and intentional.
2:21
And with a powerful way, you can overcome any hole.
2:24
The reason intentionality is so instrumental for successful outcomes in your life is because
2:30
resources are finite.
2:32
We only have a limited amount of time and energy in a day and there's only 24 hours in
2:39
Also remember, we're living on borrowed time so every time this unsets is one less day
2:45
that you have to enjoy this magnificent thing that we call life.
2:49
And I think to myself,
2:55
what I wonder for you tomorrow isn't promised.
3:01
So today is far too precious to squandle.
3:04
Time is the most valuable commodity that you will ever own in this lifetime because it's
3:09
the only thing that you can give that you can't get back.
3:12
So intentional action allow you to maximize the returns for your inputs.
3:17
But while you're executing these intentional actions, it's far more important to demonstrate
3:23
Lack of patience is one of the number one reasons that most people don't reap the foods
3:29
of their labor because they give up before the foods are ripe.
3:32
Wanting to remember it never happens when you want it to happen.
3:35
It always happens when it's supposed to happen.
3:38
It says it takes 20 years to become an overnight success, but they always only show you the
3:44
So the expectation in the microwave age is that everything is supposed to be instantaneous
3:49
like Amazon delivery.
3:50
Have you ever heard of the Chinese bamboo tree?
3:53
It's an exceptional illustration of the mindset and perspective that you should have when
3:58
you're pursuing your goals because it demonstrates the powerful combination of intentional actions,
4:03
patience and consistent effort.
4:06
The Chinese bamboo tree is native to China and East Asia and is widely found in Southern
4:13
The Chinese bamboo tree takes five years to go and the ground where the seed is planted
4:18
has to be watered every day without fail in order for the growth to happen.
4:23
For five years, it won't break the soil.
4:26
There's absolutely no visible signs that growth is happening because in the first few years
4:30
it has to develop a deep root system and build structural strength in preparation to support
4:36
the massive vertical growth.
4:39
Because if it were to shoot up without developing the roots, it's bound to collapse.
4:43
And the difference between good and great is the perseverance to continue when it looks
4:48
like nothing is happening.
4:50
But to be fair, could you imagine having that conversation with your neighbour about
4:54
the seed that you planted two years ago and you can't even see the stem, they definitely
4:59
said that you're delusional, but that's why they said you shouldn't tell people your
5:02
dreams because if they don't know your dreams, then they can't shoot them down.
5:06
So if you've been diligent in water in the seed after five years, it finally breaks the
5:11
And when it breaks the soil, it goes 90 feet in five weeks.
5:15
It's like no, building the app before the flood because he had a vision.
5:20
Everybody thought he was crazy until it started raining.
5:23
That's why it's imperative for you to study course and ignore the outside noise.
5:27
The underlying tone of the Chinese bamboo tree is that consistent positive actions toward
5:33
the outdoors create the momentum that you need to manifest results beyond your wildest imagination.
5:39
Said differently, intentional actions faster better execution, which leads to more fruitful
5:46
It's the snowball effect.
5:48
In science and system theories, the snowball effect refers to a positive feedback process
5:54
where the initial small change increases in magnitude through self-reinforcing cycles
5:59
which leads to exponential growth.
6:04
Greetings and welcome to the Judas Jews corner.
6:07
I'm your guide throughout the episode Judas Hendrix and I'm here to provide you with
6:11
all the relevant information that you need to stay abreast with what's happening in
6:15
the episode and not get lost in the sauce.
6:18
Dr. Ho is out there trying out scientific terms like he got a PhD and he barely got a bachelor's.
6:24
The snowball effect simply means small consistent actions over a long enough period of time
6:29
create massive returns.
6:31
Once you get going downhill, it's much easier and faster for you to pick up momentum and
6:36
get to your goals faster.
6:37
You see how simple that was?
6:39
Sharp, sweet and to the point but don't worry.
6:41
That's why I here to make sure that you go now back to the episode.
6:45
In physics it's understood that a snowball rolling downhill increases in mass which increases
6:50
the gravitational force which increases velocity which increases the overall accumulation.
6:57
Essentially you just accumulate more experience and insight so your output increases creating
7:01
a large impact as you move forward but it's impossible to create that momentum without
7:09
But the snowball effect also works in the opposite direction as well and has a negative impact.
7:14
For example, you start with complacency which leads to procrastination which leads to
7:19
stress and anxiety which ultimately leads to avoidance.
7:24
Complacency ultimately leads to a vicious cycle of inaction because everything is compounding.
7:29
So once you get trapped it's hard to get told so you want to ensure that your momentum
7:34
is heading in the right direction.
7:36
Five years of consistent action gets you 90 feet of manifestation in five weeks.
7:42
I would say that's even a fee exchange, the foundational principle of cause and effect.
7:48
The million dollar question is do you have the patience?
7:51
You always get back more than what you saw because you started with a seed and ended up
7:55
with a 90 feet tree.
7:57
So practice sawing good seeds, sawing the right seed can produce the tree that will change
8:02
your life for the rest of your life.
8:05
That's why it's important for your goals to be very audacious because you possess the
8:09
ability to determine whether you want a garden or forest.
8:13
Greetings and welcome back to the Judas Jewel's Conor, it's the one and only Judas Hendrix.
8:18
I caught into management, I got to close out the episodes in order to pull my way.
8:22
So you know, here we are, new year, same compensation, crazy work, absolutely crazy work but
8:28
we gotta do what we gotta do so.
8:30
Just to quickly recap, the combination of delay gratification and intentional action is
8:35
the success, formula to get you to the promised land regardless of where your destination is.
8:40
The Chinese bamboo tree is a metaphor for the journey to your goals.
8:44
Even though you might not see instantaneous returns, be aware in mind that sometimes
8:48
you need to grow down in order to grow up because the roots need time to develop.
8:53
So take the time to create a solid foundation to ensure your longevity.
8:57
We live in unborrowed time, so you might as well do something worthwhile with the time
9:01
that you have and not work well by anyone else's standards but you.
9:05
You get one shot in life, so why not make it an extravagant one.
9:08
The only limitations that you have is the ones you choose to believe.
9:12
Y'all, for a few years could start today, so don't hesitate any longer.
9:15
Time is too precious for that.
9:17
If you found anything useful in this episode, definitely like, subscribe, share, tell your
9:22
friends, tell your mother, tell your father, tell your aunt, tell your brother, tell everybody.
9:27
So that could tap in and become a Pat or the Renaissance family.
9:30
Remember, you're only one change away from changing your life for the rest of your life.
9:35
I'll see you on Pat 2 to the delayed gratification, mini-series, but until next time, man, just
9:41
continue elevating all the hill.
