For Growth, Nourish your Roots by Yourself
You don’t need to think deeply to realize that the purpose of life is nothing but growth. It is the duty of every human being to continue the journey of growth despite unpleasant situations. He should keep moving forward consistently. There is no other option. There could not be any other choice. And there should be no stopping at any point in life.
Also know that, like a flower you also have to bloom fully for realizing your true beauty. For such marvelous growth, you have to etch this purpose in your inner world. You have to find your roots and nourish them just like a flower that nourishes its root.
So, tell this to yourself: “I want to grow in life like a flower, I want to attain my ultimate beauty and for that, I have to find my roots and nourish it myself.”
Living like a beautiful flower
Although there is no dearth of reasons to wilt or fade while continuing the journey of growth. Life has to face unfair circumstances periodically. These are phases of life. More so, just like flowers, humans are also vulnerable and soft. Sometimes a small blow can break a person. But again, like a flower, a human being has to struggle, do it by himself and grow amid unfavorable situations.
So, believe that you are here to grow and never put your trust on others for your growth because if you’ll depend on others most probably, you’ll fail. You have to flourish, you have to live blissfully and for that, you have to nourish your roots by yourself.
Further, a flower requires nourishment- water, air, sunlight, fertilizer etc- for its roots to survive, you should also know where your roots are, what is your water and fertilizer, and also where is your sunlight. You have to search for them within yourself, in your inner world only.
Once you find them, you’ll start growing and glowing with a smile on your face. So, try to bring changes to your inner world and stay away from distractions created by the outer world.
Many people, however, pay attention to the outer world only and put on fake faces. They fail to understand that a person’s real personality lies in his inner world. It hardly matters how much false persona is displayed, the real face comes out through thoughts & behaviour.
Therefore, never ignore your thoughts. They are going to play a crucial role in your life.
Thoughts are the seeds of the future
Your thoughts are not less than seeds of your life because your actions are a result of your thoughts only. A lot of things around you are working tirelessly to change your thought process- be it TV, newspapers, social media or other devices. If you don’t take control, they will change your thoughts and sometimes, decisions.
Your whole personality changes when your thoughts change. You can see around yourself how some people wear weird clothes, how they behave in a questionable way, or how they treat elders; it all happens with a small change in the mind that starts acting under the influence of the outside world, distractions, and influences.
So, your thoughts are your seeds that will turn into fruits. Nourish them carefully.
Nourish your roots
Certainly, the purpose of your thought is to create a wonderful life for yourself and manifest your dreams into a meaningful reality. The potential of your thoughts has a close connection with its purity–so the purer a thought, the greater its creative power.
On the other hand impure or meaningless thoughts are those that revolve around something that is not in your control–like thinking about past mistakes, fear of uncertainties, worrying over others’ behaviour or behaving in a way according to others.
Such thoughts may appear harmless, but they blur the vision of life and diminish the passion ignited by pure thoughts.
So, try to nourish your thoughts by focusing on positive affirmations, letting go of the urge to be indolent, counting your blessings, relishing the joys of your past achievements, holding your head high in trying circumstances, learning various meditation techniques, and also by being a master of your mind.
You surely can change your life for good by changing your thoughts. If the thoughts in your mind (your roots) are pure, your life will also be pure. So, nourish them, keep them under control and continue the journey of growth.
