When you plant seeds in the garden, you don't dig them up every day to see if they have sprouted yet.  You simply water them and clear away the weeds; you know that the seeds will grow in time.  Similarly, just do your daily practice and cultivate a kind heart.  Abandon impatience and instead be content creating the causes for goodness; the results will come when they're ready.
