When we plant a rose seed in the ground, we notice it is small, but we do not criticize it as “rootless and stemless.” We treat it as a seed, giving it the water and nourishment required of a seed.When it first shoots up out of the ground, we don't condemn it as immature and underdeveloped; nor do we criticize the buds for not being open when they appear.
We stand in wonder at the process taking place and give the plant the care it needs at each stage of its development. The rose is a rose from the time it is a seed to the time it dies.
Within it, at all times, it contains its whole potential. It seems to be constantly in the process of change; yet at each state, at each moment, it is perfectly alright as it is.
Whether you are trying to improve your shot or improve your handles... it's not going to a one or two practice thing to get better. The first step in getting better is to recognize that there is a process of growth that has to take place. Allow it to happen without getting frustrated.
