The Lotus

“Be like the lotus; grow through the adversity of where ever you are planted and bloom with grace. The lotus flower is surrounded by water, yet the water does not touch it’s petals. The lotus blooms in the muddiest waters, yet its petals remain unstained. It draws strength from adversity, rising above the murk to greet the sun.

Change is inevitable, but sometimes, it’s not the external circumstances that need changing; it’s our perception. The lotus doesn’t fight the mud; it accepts its surroundings and transforms them into beauty

Trust the light enough to grow through the dirt. Water your roots so your soul can blossom and remember no mud, no lotus” – David Scott
