SOMETIMES IT TAKES A WHILE

About this episode

The episode discusses the patience required to achieve goals in life, using the growth of lilacs as a metaphor.

Lilacs always seem to take longer to establish than other flowering shrubs. Finally, the one planted near the cabin several years ago has some beautiful white blooms this year. It sometimes takes a while to achieve goals in life. Following positive intentions and staying the course can help to create affirmative results. www.michaelhathaway.com Support the show
