We are landscaping our yard, and I have been spending quite a lot of time in there lately. Got to see a lot of things which I would usually simply ignore. Here's a small "picture story" about what I have learnt!
Look towards the sun...
These flowers always try to find sunlight, and that's what they look at. They have a "one-track mind", so to speak.
No matter what happens, look at the "bright, sunshiny side of life"Hope...
If this little sprig of green can survive with such little to go for it, so can you!
All is not lost yet, there always is hope, if there is a will!Persist! Don't give up even if there are people against you.
This used to be a big shrub. About as tall as me. We had to cut it down to clear out space for some new stuff. Its just about one foot tall now. In just a few days after it was hacked, this survivor sprouted new leaves! Ain't backing down that easily, this one!
No matter how many enemies you have, you can always find sustenance if only you look for it.PS: Do forgive the not-so-inspiring picture. The message is very strong!
Forgive!
I don't have a picture for this lesson, but I do have a story. We have some beautiful, very cheerful gerbera daisies in some pots. They have at least one flower at any time. We water them every other day. Last week, I forgot to water them on their scheduled feeding day. They flowers were droopy and looked quite dead. I watered the plants, and within an hour, the flowers were up and dancing in the breeze again!
I had been forgiven my neglect! It held no grudge against me. It didn't get all sarcastic and say why are you here now, leave me alone.
So many simple lessons, ain't it!
