The Daffodil Principle is an inspirational story that I stumbled upon …

That is, learning to move toward our goals and desires one step at a time–often just one baby-step at time–and learning to love the doing, learning to use the accumulation of time. When we multiply tiny pieces of time with small increments of daily effort, we too will find we can accomplish magnificent things. We can change the world .

How true that is!

After some digging, I found a bit of explaination about the origin of the daffodil principle story.

Every year, high in the San Bernardino mountain range of Southern California, five acres of beautiful daffodils burst into bloom. Amazingly, this special spot, known as “The Daffodil Garden,” was planted by one person, Gene Bauer, one bulb at a time, beginning in 1958.

Planting 50,000 bulbs is a very big task for one person. And yet someone did it and her achievement has been such an inspiration to many.

Use the Daffodil Principle. Stop waiting…..
