One thing is certain you can never become anything other than yourself, and unless you become yourself you cannot be happy.

Like the lotus flower, business blooms in the mud, and in the dark of night. The lotus is an amazing creation of God, because for all of its beauty, it is the sum total of work performed in a mess. It is also a creation that has the ability to create seeds in its habitat for a very long time without help from human hands.

We are often given pills or fluids to help remedy illness, yet little has been taught to us about the power of smell to do the exact same thing. It is known that the scent of fresh rosemary increases memory, but this cure for memory loss is not divulged by doctors to help the elderly. I also know that the most effective use of the blue lotus flower is not from its dilution with wine or tea but from its scent. To really maximize the positive effects of the blue lily or the pink lotus, it must be sniffed within minutes of plucking. This is why it is frequently shown being sniffed by my ancient ancestors on the walls of temples and on papyrus. Even countries across the Orient share the same imagery. The sacred lotus not only creates a relaxing sensation of euphoria, and increases vibrations of the heart, but also triggers genetic memory and good memory with an awakened heart ushers wisdom. Suzy Kassem
The lotus is the most beautiful flower, whose petals open one by one. But it will only grow in the mud. In order to grow and gain wisdom, first, you must have the mud the obstacles of life and its suffering. The mud speaks of the common ground that humans share, no matter what our stations in life. Whether we have it all or we have nothing, we are all faced with the same obstacles sadness, loss, illness, dying, and death. If we are to strive as human beings to gain more wisdom, more kindness, and more compassion, we must have the intention to grow as a lotus and open each petal one by one. Goldie Hawn

It’s easy loving someone in the light in the bright light where everyone wants you to love each other, everyone expects you to stay together, and it’s the right thing to do. But have you ever loved someone in the dark in the deep dark where nobody wants you to love, everyone expects you to be a mistake, and it’s supposed to be the wrong thing to do? A love like that isn’t for anybody’s eyes, it isn’t for anybody else, and for no other reasons than love itself. It’s the flower that grew in the pavement, the vines that grew inside cement walls, the lotus that rises cyan blue from the mud. C. JoyBell C.

Healing is comparable to a garden. It needs tended to on a consistent basis. For weeds to be pulled out. The garden needs water and sunshine in effort to grow. Like a lotus flower, you will sprout through the soil, reaching up through the dark water towards the sunlight, stretching to the surface where you will beautifully bloom. Dana Arcuri
Lotus flowers lead harrowing journeys. Their seeds sprout in murky swamp water, thick with dirt and debris and snarls of roots. For a lotus to bloom, she must forge her way through this terrible darkness, avoid being eaten by fish and insects, and keep pressing onward, innately knowing, or at least hoping, that there is sunlight somewhere above the water’s surface, if she can only summon the strength to get there. And when she does, she emerges unscathed by her journey and blooms triumphantly. Sarah Jio
Be like a lotus. Let the beauty of your heart speak. Be grateful to the mud, water, air and the light. Amit Ray
