Joy Wasted with KB Dickey

Let’s talk.

Have you ever looked around and thought, “Aye… did I plant duds?” Like, you’ve been watering, praying, fasting, journaling, vision boarding, grinding, glowing, growing — and STILL, nothing’s blooming?

You’re out here feeling like you’re running out of time, watching everybody else harvest while your garden looks like a whole ghost town. You start questioning yourself: “Did I miss the memo? Did I mishear God? Did I waste my time?”

Let me stop you right there.

Your seeds of greatness are NOT duds. They’re just on that bamboo tree timing.

🌿 The Bamboo Tree Blueprint

Here’s the tea: The Chinese bamboo tree takes five years to break the soil. FIVE. YEARS. But once it does? It can grow up to 90 feet in just six weeks.

That means for five years, it’s growing roots. Deep, strong, unshakable roots. So when it finally shoots up, it’s ready to handle the height, the weight, the wind, the spotlight.

Sound familiar?

You’re not behind. You’re being fortified.

⏳ Why It Feels Like You’re Running Out of Time

Because you’re human. Because you care. Because you’ve got vision and urgency and a calling that won’t let you sleep.

But let me remind you: Divine timing is not your timing. And delay is not denial.

Sometimes your greatness is marinating. Sometimes it’s waiting for the right season, the right soil, the right YOU.

🌟 What You Can Do to Pull Forward Your Seeds of Greatness

Here’s your blueprint to activate the bloom:

1. Check Your Soil

Are you planted in purpose or just planted in pressure? Toxic environments stunt growth. Get around people who water you, not wither you.

2. Speak Life Over Your Seeds

Your words are fertilizer. Stop calling your dreams “crazy” and start calling them “inevitable.” Speak it until you see it.

3. Stay in Motion

Even if it’s slow. Even if it’s messy. Even if it’s just one step a day. Movement creates momentum. Don’t let stagnation steal your shine.

4. Celebrate Micro-Blooms

Every lesson, every connection, every “no” that redirected you — it’s part of the bloom. Don’t wait for the big win to clap for yourself.

5. Trust the Root Work

You’re being built to last. Not just to launch. So while it looks quiet on the surface, trust that the underground work is sacred.

💬 Final Word

Your seeds of greatness are not duds. They’re divine. They’re deliberate. They’re just on bamboo time.

So keep watering. Keep believing. Keep showing up like the bloom is inevitable — because it is.

And when it finally breaks through? Whew. The world won’t know what hit it.

You ready?

Let’s grow.
