On Ripe Fruit
Even the ripest, sweetest fruits eventually fall from their branch and decay into the forest floor to bear new fruits in the future. Nature has ingrained in them an understanding of their logical time to cease growing just as we must understand when certain ideas have reached their end.
Sometimes they need to die or cease being worked on in favor of new endeavors.
If a project isn’t working out or yielding results, you don’t have to keep working on it just because you’ve already put so much effort into it. You must recognize that the apple must drop in order to give way to new apples ready to be nurtured.
