Focus on Your Own Tree
If we try to pick fruit from our neighbor's tree, we won't see what's on our own branches. You don't have to be a pomologist expert to understand that different trees have different fruit. When you go to an orchard, you see all the apple trees, you see all the apricots, you see all the plums, you see all the prunes, you see all these different fruits, and they're all together.
Well, we as people may have similar fruit, but we're all different. If we're always trying to grab someone else’s fruit, we do not recognize that we have our own.
It doesn't mean that one is better than the other.
But here's the problem: you're never going to be able to pick any fruit if you don't get off the trunk. Go out and reach the branches of your own tree. Reach for your own fruit.
What's your own tree doing? Is it growing? Is it thriving? Is it alive?
That fruit will develop. All different trees develop fruit at different times. Just focus on your own fruit.
