Lotus flower

Have you ever seen a lotus ? Do you know at times this flower would actually blossom twice or even trice .? I have read from somewhere, with the right temperature, water condition this flower will actually show its beauty more than once in one season. Great right?

This flower have always been an inspiration in motivation stories. For some it is to tell that we shouldn't give up on what we want in life. Sometimes we might think that we have done the best, but when it still fails, we may think what is the point in continuing since i tried it and still i failed.

I'm not into motivation stories much, as sometimes i think that wishful thinking is not always the best way to do it. A friend told me" it wouldn't hurt right to be positive?". I don't think it would not hurt. The reason why being positive makes it easier is because we try to ignore the elephant in the room.

Let me explain the elephant in the room thing. Let say in your living room there is this elephant. This elephant being big have taken a massive amount of space. A positive thinker, always being happy with what is given would try to live with the elephant in the room. Perhaps they could make it look nice by covering it with curtains thinking that this might help them not notice the huge thing in front of them. Stupid right?

If you agree that its a dumb think to do, then let me ask you this. Don't you think being positive is exactly like that? What you should have done from the beginning was to take the elephant out of the living room. Well it is hard work but imagine the pleasure of having it outside the living room.

Denying the fact that we do have problem will not make it better. The problem will haunt you in a constant wave, and in worst condition it gets uglier.

The lotus my friend is not a positive think flower. If its a positive thinker it wouldn't mind being blossom only once. Its a flower that strive to be beautiful. In certain condition it fights to surprise us by blossoming more than once. This makes it on top all other flowers.

When we fall down, we can reclaim that success that was once ours. We can actually have better life by being better. Ask for more. Be the one person you have always imagine yourself to be.

Cheers

  1. and suddenly the lotus has becomes a thinker. and it is not a positive one.

    can it stand the test of its own faith, as it floats above milk tea?

    cause the tea is going to be really-really hot.

    it promised so.
