Listen "Ep. 22 - Clock Time vs. Horticultural Time – The Power of Patience & Process for Lasting Growth"
Episode Synopsis
In today's fast-paced world, we’re conditioned to expect instant results—fast food, two-day shipping, immediate gratification. But real, meaningful growth doesn’t happen that way.
In this episode, we’ll dive deep into the differences between Clock Time and Horticultural Time and why the latter is essential for true growth. Clock Time measures tasks by the hour, great for daily deadlines, but it can be limiting for long-term achievements. On the other hand, Horticultural Time is measured in cycles, seasons, and natural development, where patience and care lead to lasting success.
Key points we’ll explore:
The Patience Problem: Why our culture struggles to wait for anything anymore, and how this impacts our expectations for growth.
The Trap of Clock Time: How our obsession with short-term results can sabotage long-term progress.
The Power of Horticultural Time: How shifting your mindset from instant results to nurturing steady growth can transform your goals.
Watering Your Seeds: Practical ways to "water" your habits and goals daily, even when you don’t see immediate results.
Trusting the Process: Why consistency, rather than speed, is key to success—just like a plant takes time to grow, so do our dreams.
We’ll also talk about how many of us "dig up" our goals too soon, much like children planting seeds and getting frustrated when they don’t sprout right away. You’ll learn how to avoid this trap and cultivate the patience required for long-lasting success.
So if you’re tired of feeling like progress is taking too long, this episode will remind you that slow and steady truly wins the race—and that the best things in life grow in their own time.
