No plant grows without proper care

                                                 


Ok, maybe they do, but they're not pretty. I'm talking Orchids and Amaryllises.

I'll walk you through the thought process behind it.

I felt compelled to take a walk today, it was such a sunny day here and I couldn't bare the retrospective of not having done it. So there I was, walking the whole route I am usually jogging through and I realized something.
Yesterday as I did what I call 'a forest meditation' presented by Darryl Anka, my coin was bigger and made of gold this time, but it was still the same friggin' coin with the carved image you see on a dime. There I was, wondering why.

It occured to me that perhaps the reason may lie in the people who surround me and in their words, that perpetually, yet not intentionally are blocking my growth.

I do realize that I am playing my part in it, as well.. But still, it brought me to the idea that this kind of environment is more than toxic. So if I would go somewhere where I am surrounded by like-minded, mostly positive people I would GROW and turn TO THE LIGHT, spreading my petals and aiming higher. Like I never would if I didn't see those circumstaces.
Just like a plant in its natural direction of growing.

For plants in general it means that they get clean water, are placed in a solid and nourishing ground and get the right amount of light. For people it means that they get empowerment, are always sought after, keep the right direction and are surrounded by love and care. It is then, that they - or we - get to grow high, aim high and feel the support of the universe by the people around us. They see the good in us, therefore we love, and try to see the good in ourselves. YOU GET WHAT YOU PREPARE FOR.
AND YOU ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU EXPECT.

Always try to see the good in people, remind yourself of their most favorable traits. We do not raise children to tell them one day, or on daily basis, that they are good for nothing or will never become anything, a nothing.
It hurts Me to write these words. Maybe we should give up our perfectionism and let people do their things the way they do it, maybe there is no universal law of doing things that works for everyone.
Oh and on the side note: please DO THINGS you want to do AS SOON AS you get the idea to do them - IT'S ALWAYS TOO LATE FOR LATER.

Don't let yourself to be put down or diminished. Nobody has ever grown from being degraded.
Several dictums come to my mind, one of them by A. Einstein:

                      'IF YOU JUDGE A FISH BY ITS ABILITY TO CLIMB A TREE,
                       IT WILL LIVE ITS WHOLE LIFE BELIEVING THAT IT IS STUPID'

People oftentimes laugh at others that do things they have never done or in a different way - it's obvious that it's residual scepticism of a cave man. The real wisdom lies in doing those things anyway. Because someone will always laugh, but when they see that it works, those same people adopt rather quickly to it.
WE ALL need to learn something in this lifetime and even beyond it. To look for inspiration rather than di-spiration is the way to big accomplishments. Another quote, by Babe Ruth:

                       'IT'S HARD TO BEAT A PERSON WHO NEVER GIVES UP'

                                                    NEVER GIVE UP.

                        YOU HAVE TO MOTIVATE YOURSELF. ALWAYS.

I once read in a book that when a child does something silly you should tell it will grow out of it.
That is empowerment.

So again, if you want to experience a more positive life, you have to TRAIN YOUR EXPECTATION.Towards people and situations. Do Focus Wheels - I don't care - BUT DO SOMETHING.

ALWAYS LOVE, ME.
