The Resilience of the Lotus Flower

You may have noticed on NEW look on my website, if you are a frequent visitor. I've changed the top image to a LOTUS FLOWER. I so appreciate the story of this flower and the characteristics of this gorgeous plant. I feel this flower is a symbol for life at this time on the planet. From time to time I'll be sharing various unique traits of this flower.

RESILIENCE is the characteristic I want to focus on for this blog. These plants are known for their unparalleled resilience and ability to not only survive, but to FLOURISH! They are resistant to pollution and can even purify the water they grow in.

Today, I believe we are called to be like a gorgeous LOTUS FLOWER in life. Each of us is being called to flourish in an environment that holds much pollution. Pollution surrounds us in numerous forms depending on where you are in any one moment. Pollution may come your way through food, the atmosphere, the water as well as the people around you and the sounds you are exposed to. We cannot avoid it many times.

So, what is the SOLUTION?

Just like the lotus flower, YOU and I have the power within us to not only survive, but FLOURISH, during these times of great change. STRENGTHENING yourself within is the solution. As you become strong within, and can handle anything that comes your way from the outside. Creating a lifestyle that honors your body, your mind, your heart and your spirit is the bigger solution. And the bigger solution, begins with one step at a time.

BE IN NATURE!

A huge first step is to find ways to allow the vibration of NATURE to nourish your entire system. Walk in Nature! Surround yourself with pictures of nature and the natural environment. Leave behind the devices and be engaged in the natural world, interacting with people is real time. Seeing that the overall solution, is re-creating your life, so the things that benefit you become your DAILY LIFESTYLE, each step needs to be embodied

into one's daily life.

This is a journey... a journey of little changes, one at a day.

Think of YOURSELF as a gorgeous LOTUS FLOWER Blooming right where you are planted NOW!

YOU ARE RESILIENT!

YOU ARE STRONG!

YOU ARE GROWING!

YOU ARE BLOOMING!

Allow the beauty in the natural world to nourish your growth.
