The Lotus Plant

In our pursuit for success, human beings tend to do a whole lot of things. We infact equate input with output. Well, we're told 'every action begets equal reaction'. That's very true. You can never expect to reap wheat if you had planted rice. Never! In short, whatever outcome you get today or tomorrow, is as a result of the input you made yesterday or may make today. In very exceptional circumstances, our input is totally different from the output, totally disguised. And this is where we can learn something from the LOTUS. This is a very beautiful plant. Those that have seen it, will agree with me. The strange thing is that it thrives in MUD! Wow!

So don't complain and blame your boss, spouse, parent, friend or neighbour for your misfortune. Simply learn to get adorned even in 'mud'. No matter what others do. No matter what environment they create for you. Make it your aim never to let your environment, circumstance or situation bury you prematurely. Like the lotus, see what benefits you can get by being in the mud.
