A wildflower does not complain about where its seed takes to the ground…
They make the best of it
And bloom where they are…
You must do the same and not worry about where you want to be
But make the best of where you are…
I came across an old decanter in the back of my cupboard that looked like the proverbial 'genie in the bottle' of fairytale lore
It brought to mind a homework project that one of my favorite middle school teachers had assigned many dozens of years ago…
We were asked to construct a magic vessel that could grant one wish
I thought deeply about my options…
I really and truly did some soul searching on what my one wish was going to be
Even though I did not think about my world as I do now…
There was a part of me that knew the universe was listening to my wishes
As I worked on my "one wish" I first made a list of all of the things I wanted…
I can't remember what those 'wants' were now
Not only do I perfectly remember the wish I finally settled on
But this I do remember…
Whatever life brings me, may I have peace of mind
Even just writing that phrase makes me feel good because by now I know that I cannot control what life brings my way…
But if I can meet it with peace of mind
All will be well in my world
Although life has never offered me the proverbial 'Genie in the Bottle'…
I do believe the universe has granted my wish
Because the storms of life have come and gone…
And even though a few of them have dropped me to my knees
I have always found my way back to peace…
Maybe that genie was real after all….
Wherever life plants you make sure you bloom into your best self
