Never sell tomorrow short. There's plenty to get excited about. Be filled with expectation, hope and confidence. Believe something good is going to happen - and it usually will.

Anyone can count the seeds in an apple, but only God can count the number of apples in a seed.
Interpretation
What this quote means
This quote emphasizes the idea that while we can easily observe tangible aspects of life, the potential and possibilities are often beyond our comprehension.
Robert H. Schullerβs quote highlights the contrast between superficial understanding and deeper insight. While anyone can count the visible seeds within an apple, only a higher power or a wise perspective can comprehend the vast potential that a single seed holds to create countless apples. This reflects on the human tendency to focus on the limited and immediate, instead of recognizing the infinite possibilities that exist within seemingly small or simple beginnings.
