Henceforth, I will look upon all things with love and I will be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness because it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness because it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards because they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles because they are my challenge. I will greet this day with love in my heart. -Og Mandino
Aren’t We All Just Flowers in the Sun?
Aren’t we all just flowers in the sun?
We start small. We live through sunny days which help us grow, rains which nourish our souls, and storms which nearly end us, yet we survive.
But, flowers have no fear. They grow without worry of envy from other flowers, they don’t feel inferior to those taller, or superior to those not quite as tall.
Wouldn’t it be sad if a flower didn’t bloom at all, for fear that it’s colors wouldn’t be as bright, or that it’s petals may not be good enough for the world? Each one blooms in it’s own way, knowing without knowing, that’s all there is to life. Each one has worth. It really doesn’t matter if you are an early or late bloomer, just as long as you make sure to bloom to your full potential.
Enjoy your time in the sun.
