Consider the walnut! If you compare a walnut with some of the beautiful and exciting things that grow on our planet, it does not seem to be a marvelous act of creation. It is common looking, rough, not particularly attractive, and certainly not monetarily valuable.
Besides, it is small. Its growth is limited by the hard shell that surrounds it, the shell from which it never escapes on its own.
Of course, though, that's the wrong way to judge a walnut.
Break a walnut open and look inside. See how the walnut has grown to fill every nook and cranny available to it. It had no say in the size or shape of that shell, but, given those limitations, it achieved its full potential of growth.
How lucky we will be if, like the walnut, we blossom and bloom in every space of life that is given to us.
Take heart! If one nut can do it, so can you.
