“We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.”
Abraham Lincoln
A rose is beautiful thing. At the beginning, there is a bud that is waiting to freely blossom into a masterpiece of nature that is both aromatic and colorful at the same time. As it develops, the thorns have a purpose as they protect the stalk so that a glorious presentation can break open and delight all of the senses. If you are only focusing on the thorns as a negative, then you will miss out on the beauty of nature’s incredible design. Same thing applies to your life. You are a beautiful person. At the beginning, you are a perfect little baby that is waiting to learn and freely blossom into an amazing adult who is intelligent and kind at the same time. As you develop, each part of you serves the greater purpose as you come into your own and discover your individual calling. If you focus on your flaws for too long, you will miss out on these traits as positive filled with wonderful potential. In life, choose well on what thoughts you decide to dwell. In life, choose well on what kind of judgments you make. Be your greatest advocate and ally. Do your best to choose to see everything about you as a positive even though a bit prickly. Remember you are as beautiful as a rose. Everything about you is important to the whole. No point in complaining about your thorns, when there is so much more to them than meets the eye.
