Learn to Grow Where You Are Planted

I have lived in a few places in my life--Idaho, Chile, Montana, Wyoming, Dominican Republic, California, and Utah.

I have discovered that no matter where you are planted, you can grow and bloom!

It was tough to grow things in Montana and Wyoming. That wind in southeastern Wyoming is perfect for wind energy, but for growing tomatoes, raspberries, and corn, it was downright challenging. Thankfully, there were some farmers who had mastered the art of growing edible things in these parts of the world.

You just need to discover where the nutrients and resources are and then tap into them and learn how to use them albeit judiciously.

That means you have to get out of your comfort zone and determine where those resources are.

They may be your next-door neighbor--yes, you probably ought to knock on their door and introduce yourself. They could be at your new church congregation. They are probably definitely at your place of work, maybe in the next cubicle or on your next Zoom call. They may even be lurking at your local library.

Tapping resources reminds me of growing sunflowers. They grow almost anywhere. The amazing thing is that their beautiful heads follow the source--the resource, if you will--all day long. As you them during the day, their glorious heads follow the sun. I never tire of watching them grow and just become something magnificent.

Once you do that, you will be able to flourish even more! That's the beauty of it. So, learn to grow where you are planted.
