You’re A Seed

This evening I was having a conversation with some friends. These friends make up my Wednesday night (now virtual) dinner party. We were talking about purpose and growth, and as women in our 20s it is easy to feel lost and directionless. Our career paths may seem unclear or slow. We often may not see the progress that we want in our lives, but what I realized is that we are all waiting to see the growth.

However, most change isn’t visible. We are like seeds and each day the habits we form and decisions we make work to tend to these seeds and nurture them. A lot happens underneath the surface before a seed emerges above ground, and that growth is absolutely crucial. We shouldn’t focus so much about seeing our flowers bloom that we neglect the development that needs to take place in order for it to happen.

All we can do is take care of our seeds. We have to make sure to water them, pick out weeds if they grow and ensure we get enough sunlight.

Your flower will bloom, I promise it will.
