Concrete Doesn't Stop the Grass from Growing ...

I have a question. :)

Have you ever seen grass grow? "between concrete"? Well have you? or a weed or a small tree just break it's way through concrete and if left alone the concrete what? Gives away ... doesn't it...

What once started as a small seed ... grows into a mighty oak.

The concrete is permanent. Or so it thinks if it were alive ... yet the seed doesn't know this because it's never discussed this with the concrete. It just decided that it wanted to grow and to be a big tree...

Thus you have your idea. A seedling. Do you see concrete? Or do you see... something that will move as you push through.

It's the same thing in life. If no one ever told you that you could not succeed would you react differently and move forward faster?

What if no one ever said bad things, it didn't exist and comparison to other was only about using what somebody else knows to help grow yourself?

What if emotions were simply our bodies and mind telling us that it's time to shift and change?

To grow ... up and through concrete.

Concrete in life can be looked at as if it were scar tissue that we can get due to events that have happened in life which hurt us. If you look at a scar that you get, say on your knee, the skin in that spot is never the same. Yet you heal and move on, hope for the best.

Now after you got that scar did you say, Oh I can't walk down the stairs anymore? Because I got hurt?

No. You still had to use the stairs but maybe you're a little more cautious this time, more thought to your solutions and what choices to make.

Maybe! You decided to take the elevator!

Either way, you decide to not focus on the scar. It's the same thing with anything you want to do in your life.

While we are not a blade of grass wandering mindlessly through concrete, we do have the opportunity to rethink and reorganize our thoughts and learn how to do things better next time.

So how about you? Are you a seedling whose going to turn into a mighty oak? Or are you concrete ? :) Stiff and unyeilding.

If we think about it, the concrete could be alot of those necessary losses in life. Like toxic relationships, people stuck in one mindset and not coming out or refusing to see things differently.
