Do you know anything about the Lotus plant? I wasn't aware of it too until I suddenly stumbled on an information about it.
So let's talk about the Lotus plant:
-- The Lotus Plant is one plant that you wouldn't pass by without your noticing it. It has a way of catching people's attention and without any doubt, you would appreciate its beauty when you see one.
Like I did recently, I even went to the extent of collecting some - and I am sure you would love to do thesame.
HOW THAT APPLIES TO YOU?
-- Have or develop unique qualities that sets you apart from the crowd. This will make others enjoy being around you - as they will appreciate what you have to offer.
-- Display rarity by thinking about and focusing on contribution. The lotus plant contributes beauty and aesthetics to an average eye. This makes everyone aware of your presence. When you don't think nor act like a commoner, you are clearly sending a message of 'distinctiveness'.
Again, the Lotus plant is known to fight for its place. If you research about it, it is one plant that begins its life being submerged under water. It has a way of attaching its roots to surfaces under water, making great attachments, journeying up to the top: in search of light, until its able to emerge above the water that once submerged it. How INSPIRING!
APPLICATION TO YOU
You must note and understand that no one is responsible for your progress or development, neither will you be the first to face challenging situations (if that has always been your excuse). All you need to do is to brace up for the obstacles or limitations.
Be adaptable and ask for your place.
Have the higher perspective that the top is not as wide and comforting; not meant for a lot of people and it is not as 'roomy' as the bottom - hence a few number of people can be seen there. Greatness requires you to push through many things most times. Have a wonderful life!
And please don't forget, BE THE LOTUS PLANT.
