It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link of the chain of destiny can be handled at a time.

The Bamboo
The growth of the Bamboo requires nurturing – water, fertile soil, sunshine.
In its first year, we see no visible signs of activity.
In the second year no growth above the soil.
The third, the fourth, still nothing.
Our patience is tested and we begin to wonder if our efforts (caring, water, etc.) will ever be rewarded.
Finally in the fifth year – a miracle! We experience growth. HUGE GROWTH! The Bamboo Tree grows 80 feet in just six weeks!
