Inherently when a seed is planted it contains everything it needs to be a flower. However, it requires specific conditions like water and sunlight to grow. Without those conditions, it remains just that. A seed in the ground.
Similarly when we are created we are like seeds. We’re given everything we need to accomplish our purpose here on earth. This is what is meant by, “you already have everything you need.” We are each given unique gifts and talents. However, just like seeds we need specific conditions to grow. If we are not growing we are dying.
In certain seasons flowers die. Some die for good never to bloom again. Others like perennials die and come back. Miraculously in the right season when the environment is ideal, they bloom again and again. How magnificent is that?
In certain seasons we may not feel our best. We may be in the midst of life’s trials and tribulations. We are wilted, beat down by life’s challenges. Our world feels like it’s crumbling around us and we feel like we have reached the end of our rope. It can’t get any worse.
The wonderful thing is we are like perennials. Even after we fall, we can always get back up. We can always make a decision to do something different and something new, so that we can bloom! Again and again.
If we are to bloom fully our environment needs to be right.
What does your environment look like? Are you surrounded by love and support? Or, is there a lot of chaos, negativity and drama around you?
What are you feeding yourself? What type of nourishment are you giving yourself on a daily basis? What are you doing to ensure that you are growing?
Remember that a seed already possesses what it needs to be a flower. It’s already beautiful and magnificent by nature. Nevertheless, how much does that seed grow without water or sunlight? It doesn’t. It remains a seed in the ground still beautiful and magnificent. Its true beauty never revealed.
Start today by taking an inventory of your environment. This includes the people in your life; friends, family and associates. As well as your physical environment like your home and office. Also, your internal environment like your thoughts and beliefs.
If it doesn’t support you, encourage you or bring you joy then it may be time to clean out. If it doesn’t uplift, motivate and empower you then it may be time to clean up. If it’s keeping you feeling stuck and stagnant instead of alive, vibrant and thriving then it’s no longer serving you.
You have everything you need to bloom fully. You are beautifully and wonderfully made! You are the answer and you hold the key to your big goals, dream and vision. Make sure that your environment is conducive to your growth so that you can bloom and your true inner beauty can be seen.
