Seeds represent possibility. Potential growth.

And with proper storage, seeds can last many years. That sense of possibility can be carefully wrapped up and kept in safety.

To plant, however — to seek germination — risks death as much as it promises new life.

So we have a choice: protect the seeds, or grow them... risking failure.

Unlike seeds, our hopes, dreams, ambitions, and inspirations cannot be kept indefinitely at minus 18°C.

If we don’t act on them, they’ll slowly, quietly expire. They’re not safe on the shelf. If we believe in them — if we truly believe in them — we must take the risk. We have to try. To plant. To grow. Yes, to risk failure... but also to risk success beyond what we can imagine.
