Sprout

When good seeds are sown, great plants are grown.

We very often only associate sprout with tiny green leaves coming out of the dirt moving towards the sunlight. What can we learn from this tiny life?

Everything on earth comes from something. Whatever we see today originated from somewhere. The most asked question is probably “where is that somewhere?” This comes to the chicken and egg question, which came first? Some say that chicken came first, and then laid eggs to be born into chicks. Some will argue that eggs have to be present first to develop into chicken.

Some scientists may say that we are all energy mass. Each of us is made up of many little energy sources so focused into one intent that these little energy sources get magnetized together and become an energy mass. With such strong magnetic fields, we created a protective space and turn into form. Each form is different from the other. Every form is unique.

Other scientists may say that we are all created from carbon atoms that come together. With organic matter that nourishes, water that keeps hydration and sunlight that provides energy, simple microorganisms is formed. These tiny little beings have then evolved into something bigger and bigger over time and soon we are born.

We can learn the evolution of life from various sources. We probably know that everything is created from somewhere. Many would only ask “where” but may never find out. Curious people may seek the truth behind it all but everyone would have a different understanding.

Perhaps the truth is not important. Life’s lessons are not taught, they are thought.

We can learn many things through our surroundings and we are always surrounded by choices. It is best to have ourselves encircled with positive energy. Humans with the monkey minds are almost always the sources of the opposite. It really depends on who we choose to mingle with. We may be born into a family that does not support us, we will just have to find peers that do. We may be having peers that oppose our every intent, we will just have to go out there to look for the right mentor.

Have you ever realized that nature has everything to offer? Whenever we are stuck in the office working for a long period of time, we find that the outside world is interesting. Whenever we are stuck in the car while commuting home, we find that the sky is so blue we wish to just fly away. Whenever we are stuck in a memory we cannot let go, we find walking bare footed in the forest refreshing.

There are many ways to connect with this vast classroom. Many people have written books and made videos of Mother Nature. The focus is to immerse ourselves into what Mother Nature has to offer and give back to her. We share this earth with many other beings. We should guide ourselves to share; sharing space with our loved ones, sharing home with strays, sharing land with the forest.

Some may say this is a big project. Where do we start? How do we go about it? What is the cost of conservation? These are the most common questions everyone would ask. Some would even just brush off and say that these are the things that only the rich can afford to do. Perhaps we should all understand one thing; we never try, we never know.

Every little effort makes a huge difference. We have the ability to resonate the same thought to the people around us. Why not spread positivity? Why not spread love for nature? Why not spread tranquility? Each of us has our unique strength. We are all little seeds sown on this earth. With the right environment, every one of us can sprout into a beautiful flower or even a giant tree.

The universe works in such a way that we are who we believe we are. All we need to do is to surround ourselves with the right people and nurture ourselves into the person we ought to be. The ultimate goal in life is to spread the love and sprout.

 

Draw energy from the earth, Admit power from the heavens, Fertilize the seed within, Let it sprout into a flower of pure light
