Grow like an immortal bud

Do you feel that yesterday you were different and today you are experiencing small contrasts comparatively? You don’t really feel a drastic change in you everyday but definitely you feel that you are varying a little from yesterday, everyday! Maybe you are unfolding certain layers of yourself like a budding flower. Everyday you are encountering some new positives and negatives. Everyday you are learning more about yourself. You will always be undergoing this process for learning never stops. Many times you will be telling this to yourself, “ yeah! This is it, this is me. I won’t be changing anymore and I know what kind of people I need to get along with". But I am sorry to say that this is not it, you won’t be this person forever.

You are going to grow, you are going to change, you are going to learn and everyday is going to be a new petal of the flowering bud. It is not like one day you are going to flower completely and everything is going to lighten up. We do have such philosophies in our head. But according to me, a better understanding will be, imagining yourself as an immortal flowering bud, which is going to keep on unravelling forever. It is imagining that you have the sunshine, you have the waters, you have the wind and everything that you need to keep your environment pleasant. It is all positive. But this flowering bud, which you are, which is beautiful already, is becoming prettier everyday. Becoming prettier everyday is the internal beauty I am talking of. It is like you have unfolded this petal and you know what it is and where it is coming from. You are aware!

You are realising everyday what is resonating with you and what is not anymore. If anything is dampening you you need to walk away humbly. Be very gentle with yourself and others when you are doing so. Don’t become arrogant in the process, have an accepting heart. If you see potential then stay, but if not then don’t stop your bud from evolving. You’re just growing and learning everyday and not destroying and creating a new you every time. If you want to destroy everything and become something extremely different then that will cause turbulence.

Focus only on the unfolding petals and the old ones will fall off naturally!
