“A lesson from the lawn.”
Imagine if a blade of grass decided it had had enough. It was done
with having its head snipped off every weekend and its seeds – its future
– cut off in their prime. Who could blame it?
Yet, what does that ol’ blade of grass do? It doesn’t say: “I
give up! I’m getting nowhere!” It just keeps on growing. It continually
takes in the energy from the sunlight and magically converts carbon
dioxide from the air into food to make more leaves and more
seeds.
A blade of grass is resilient.
You too, can learn to be as resilient as the grass. You may be cut
down on a regular basis, yet your strength is in standing up, dusting
yourself off, and starting all over again. Even when grass is covered in
concrete, it finds a way to grow up through the cracks.
And, so must you.
Take a “leaf” out of the grass’ book. Connect with your own
resilience and keep on growing.
