Isn’t it fascinating how the universe knows each of us as individuals and makes separate plans for us?

GROWING NEEDS PATIENCE
Nature is a great teacher if you observe it. She teaches us how to wait. She teaches us how to work in coordination. She teaches us that every flower blooms in its own time, but it surely blooms one day.
If a flower or plant doesn’t bloom on time, it is used as compost to improve the base of nature’s life in the soil.
Likewise, when I grew plants in my garden and on my rooftop, it made me impatient to get my first harvest. But in this journey, I understood through Mother Nature that growth needs patience. It is mandatory.
Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Sera, and for now, I am a gardener. Gardening is one of my dreams come true. Finally, after a few months, I got to start it. I started suddenly when I got a simple idea—or perhaps when I was creating a foundation for my procrastination.
I held onto that foundation and went into my garden, then to the rooftop, to dig up the soil. Because why should I just think, when I have the authority to start or end anything in my life? In the back of my head, the sentence “Just Start First” resonated.
So, while gardening, I correlated my life with these plants, flowers, and the scent they carry. I found that life is all about this.
Just as every flower blooms in its own time, they are constantly getting manure, making their base stronger, and staying rooted in the soil until they grow. When the season comes, their colors complement the environment, giving a sense of familiarity to the place.
Similarly, in our lives, we are doing hard work and smart work, trying every possibility to be the best version of ourselves. And when the day comes, it all pays off. That day feels like a flower that has taken its own time to spread its scent.
I want to be a flower or a plant that takes its own time to spread its essence and presence, which feels like a present (a gift).
Do you ever think, “What did I learn from nature?”
Do you feel special after knowing the truth of the relationship between you and the universe?
Until now, Let’s READ. REFLECT. RISE. together.
