If we expect to grow, we must not be afraid to experience life. Sometimes life will require us to venture in foreign places we had not originally planned for. Once we are there, we are faced with either present success or a lesson leading to greater success in future endeavors. I believe that “when one door closes, another door opens.” I have witnessed this belief and favorite saying more times than once. Was I accepting of it initially? Of course not. But as time progressed, I begin to understand the fundamental lessons of venturing forward regardless of the initial results. Just as the seeds of a dandelion, without warning or fear. The seeds are set to travel swiftly as a calming sea breeze.

Final ¢ents

The Strength of Dandelions

To grow and flourish respectively

We must stop chasing the things that hurt us

It’s never wise to bruise yourself twice

Band-aids are obsolete and ignored in the present moment

The repetition of overexerted efforts will only lead to fatigue

As a result, sluggish performances will replace crucial tasks

Focus counteracts a lackadaisical mentality

I believe you were beautifully made either way

You need to regain your focus, though

The defying winds were never in opposition of your destiny

But instead, the winds wanted to push you to a higher altitude

To a destination beyond your wildest imaginations

One with clarity, in the right direction

You’re just as courageous as the seed of a dandelion before it is lifted up into the sky

Uncertainties have made pinky-promises with the wind

We must learn to flow as the water dances to the rhythm of the soil

You should never doubt yourself

I, too, face challenges in my lawn

But we must focus on what’s most important

Our feelings, hidden from humanity

Demand the proper nurturing and love to survive the harsh winters in life

There’s strength in letting nature run its’ course

Just as dandelions sprout without anyone’s permission

Their dismissal is an equivalent measure to their arrival

Unexpectedly effortless

Without force,

Dandelions have a way of blooming in fields without any expectations from us

I find beauty in the idea of letting things be as they are.

You know, without force.
