All Blown Up

I was on a bit of a hiatus, but I’m back! Did you miss me 😉

When I first bought this planter it was big, beautiful and blooming! It was eye catching and every time I walked by it, it made me smile. Until the tremendous amount of rain we got slowly took its life away. Its roots couldn’t take any more water. It was drowning. And what was once a beautiful, flourishing planter was now turning brown, withered and had no growth left in site. I was so sad, I did everything I could to bring this plant back to life, I even sang to it 😆 but no matter what I did, it seemed as if there was no hope. I eventually accepted the fact that is was just going to look lifeless for the rest of the summer. Until this morning when I checked on it and there was life, lots of life, lots of growth, so many new buds had appeared. I know this is a random post, but it’s Motivation Monday and I thought I’d share my lesson from this plant. When life challenges you, makes you feel like you’re drowning and takes away all your happiness, you have 2 choices-continue to suffer, slowly fade away and allow it to tear your down OR take what has been dealt to you, and allow it to make you a better, stronger person. We don’t grow when things are easy, we grow when we face challenges. Just like my plant-change and growth don’t happen overnight, it’s a process and hard work but it’s thrilling to watch it take shape and regrow. And one day you will look back and remember how low you were and all the hardship you endured and you will see how it made you stronger! 💕🌺
