Bounce Back from Tough Times
by Jane Powell

 

“A lesson from the lawn.”

 

Imagine if a blade of grass decided it had had enough.
It was done with having its head snipped off every weekend
and its seeds – its future – cut off in their prime.
Who could blame it?

 

Yet, what does that ol’ blade of grass do?
It doesn’t say:  “I give up! I’m getting nowhere!”
It just keeps on growing. It continually takes in the energy from
the sunlight and magically converts carbon dioxide from
the air into food to make more leaves and more seeds.

 

A blade of grass is resilient.

 

You too, can learn to be as resilient as the grass.
You may be cut down on a regular basis,
yet your strength is in standing up, dusting yourself off,
and starting all over again. Even when grass is covered in concrete,
it finds a way to grow up through the cracks.

 

And, so must you.

 

Take a “leaf” out of the grass’ book.
Connect with your own resilience and keep on growing.
