The first time I learnt that the lotus flower grows out of mud, I was shocked. How could something so beautiful, so radiant be born out of mud? But, there’s potential in the mud. Acknowledging that there’s mud builds balance & resilience. A necessary catalyst. Acceptance is the key. The lotus flower allows mud & dirt to float around without any resistance. It simply blooms. Similarly, we can take a good look at the mud in our environment (stress or worries) with compassion, self love & self care.
Some mud is good for creation, innovation & discovery. We can set positive intentions with hopeful affirmations. When we’re in the mud, something wonderful may evolve. Believe. When the lotus blooms, it brings inspiration, energy, peace & joy.
