Did you know that a tree has to grow in two directions at the same time? A tree has to grow in two directions. It's always growing in two directions at the same time. It's growing down and it's growing up. And what's interesting, if you could see the part of the tree that's under the ground, it looks very similar to the part of the tree that's above the ground. The root system is very similar to the fruit system. Something is common as a tree, but watch this. Here's what's interesting about a tree. The nature of a tree is that it is both gravotropic and phototropic. Now you've never heard of the word gravotropic before, phototropic, never. Gravitropic means it grows away from light and towards gravity. That's the root system. It's gravotropic in nature. So the seed goes in the ground and then the tree starts growing down before it starts growing up. Now here's what's interesting. When the seed is under the ground, it's dark under the ground, it's damp, and it has resistance. The root system has resistance. It has to push through the dirt to go down further, right? Well, once it breaks through the earth growing up, there's no more resistance. And the part of the tree that's above the earth grows towards light and away from gravity. The tree is growing in two directions at the same time. Now okay, how does that help me in my life, though? That sounds really cool, right? Well, that is one of the most beautiful pictures of the way life works that you've ever seen. How? It's the work that you do in the dark when it's difficult and damp. That makes the work that you do that everybody sees in the light work.
