Looking back over seven decades, I can see there is much truth in this statement. But [now I am a gardener!] I have to remind myself that sometimes it takes a long time for a seed to germinate, grow, and bear fruit.
Right now, there are signs all around the village of harvest, and gardens are full of beautiful flowers. This is a good month to remind ourselves that many seeds have to endure the winter weather and spring frosts.
When life is tough, do not be despondent -there is light at the end of the tunnel - but some tunnels are incredibly long. And never be afraid to admit you are finding life difficult - there are people out there who care, and will stick with you on the journey.
Someone pointed out that in psalm 23 the verse is 'THROUGH the valley of death'. In one end, and OUT the other. It's not somewhere we stay for ever. That was very helpful for me.
