The author visits her daughter and is taken to see a large daffodil garden planted by a single woman over many years. She is inspired by the woman's persistence in planting one bulb at a time, creating something beautiful through small daily efforts over decades. The author realizes she too can accomplish great things by working incrementally each day towards her goals, rather than waiting for some future time. She is motivated to make the most of the present and start pursuing her dreams.
