Have you ever noticed spiritual souls like Mother Theresa, or the Dalai Lama don't have an actual source of income, yet they're able to continue their life's work uninhibited? Support appears from out of no where and their needs are supplied for. Which leads me into my story...
In the toxic environment of downtown New York city, through a crack in a well traveled sidewalk, a spring flower managed to push itself through. It achieved an inch of growth despite the smog, heavy foot traffic, and concrete boundaries and produced a bud. It was just about to come to full bloom, when a pedestrian crushed it and stomped out it's existence. Amid all the indifference and distraction, a thing of beauty almost achieved success.
Lesson? Some environments are more nurturing than others. What environment do you choose to inhabit? Does your present surroundings allow you to come to a beautiful bloom, or are you just managing to survive, and avoid destruction on a day to day basis?
Unlike the flower, we get to choose where we grow our roots. Are you surrounded by a great support system, so you can achieve your full potential? Our associations dictate our level of success, or to quote an old quip, "birds of a feather, flock together." Are you being fed fertilizer to keep you where your at, or to help you grow and produce fruit?
God Bless!
