I carefully poured the kernels into our old air-popper and waited.

In about 3 minutes almost every kernel had burst into a fluffy piece of delicious popcorn.

However, my big popcorn bowl wasn't as full as I wanted it to be so I left the hot air flowing and prepared to fill the 1/2 cup reservoir again when something happened.

A Late Bloomer.

I've seen it before but this on really stuck out! It was HUGE! I took a minute to look at it more closely.

It was the biggest, fluffiest, most interesting piece in the bowl.

I'm always impressed with the popcorn popping process these days, but this time was special.

It brought home to me the power of patience and continued faith no matter what external forces appear to be against me.

Being "full of hot air" on a continual basis even when the people around you have given up on your dreams for you.

The person who thinks you need to add more kernels simply because what you've created so far isn't enough for them...

Their opinion just doesn't count. It just doesn't determine your success.

You Do.

Don't let them "unplug" you, or force you to start over when the bottom line is: You love your idea seed.
