A friend asked me how my day was going and I told him it was one of those days when I had accomplished nothing of “value”.

And then realized that simply wasn’t true.  I spent the better portion of the day putting together quotes for new business and following up with prospective clients.

To which he said, “Oh, you’ve been farming – you have to plant seeds in order to have something to harvest later.”

And he’s right – everything I did today had value.  And putting it in that perspective made me happy with the day.

Without the seeds I planted today, nothing grows.

Sometimes it’s as simple as a new perspective.
