When you choose to be a Sunflower in a world of Roses
In a world of roses, you choose to be a sunflower, how crazy are you? How unusual you are?
SUNFLOWERS:
To be honest i think sunflowers are quite beautiful to be behold. The way their leaves spread exquisitely, flashing their beauty for the eyes to see dancing magnanimously to the beat of wind. You sure would be tempted to pick one of those beauties for yourself.
It is beautiful, they are very beautiful.
More than their stunning beauty, what strikes me also the sunflower is the name" SUNFLOWER" . It is too specific. The poor sunflower was never made to to survive or exist without the sun, and as beautiful as it is, all its beauty is connected to the sun.
What i hear is that all the beauty of sunflower, the young painful years of growing, or enduring the boisterous winds would be allocated to the sun.
It makes me think the sun flower is never self-made.
However, more than the tag , the sunflower actually derives all its nutrients from the sun and somehow, the sunflower reflects the complexity of mankind. The sunflower represents man literally, how man honestly finds life by constantly facing the sun.
ROSES:)
Now roses are beautiful flowers and heck, they don't need the sun to grow and i admire them. Honestly, Roses are the friend that don't give a hoot about god and are making millions and hundred's if thousands per job. Everyone love roses, I mean you want to get surprised with rosses on your work table, or even spread the petals on the bed with sweet scented candles on the tables, some soft and scented, i hear your heart say "That's so Romantic" .
WHY BE A SUNFLOWER:
The sunflower life is life of surrender, of reckless abandons to god, the maker of the world. The world is a feeble place, too crazy and turbulent a place to not have an anchor. The news is bad, security is poor kidnapping is the norm, the world is crazy and we gradually wear ourselves out wit the endless pursuit. I think it only makes sense to submit and surrender our lives to god but not to the peoples.
What is the point of working endlessly to be on top of the table when he owns the table, when he gave the wood, when he gave the tree, when he created the soil for the tree?
I honestly wish I had the ultimate guide to why you should be the sunflower, the one who submits and surrenders to god. All I have and all i know is that the sunflower has hope and hope never dies, never disappoints, so if i talk about humans they should have full hope on the creator of this universe, the god.
If not anything come and walk in a life of hope, one where you don't have to strive.
Now being a sunflower is not an easy thing to do or even become. Being a sunflower in simplest form is deciding to lean on the part of the sun to get life, nutrients, fulfilment and joy no matter how competitive the world gets.
Closing thoughts:
After writing all that and thinking about being like a sunflower i concluded that it's really good t remain humble and surrender each and everything in front of your creator but never ever depend on peoples do your hard work with full concentration and never depend on anyone except you hard work and your God.
Stay humble and hopeful just like sunflower and keep shining just like the sun.
