Remember The Lotus Flower

Last updated on December 1, 2021

Great people will always be mocked by those
Who feel smaller than them.
A lion does not flinch at laughter coming from a hyena.
A gorilla does not budge from a banana thrown at it by a monkey.
A nightingale does not stop singing its beautiful song
At the intrusion of an annoying woodpecker.

Whenever you should doubt your self-worth, remember the lotus flower.
Even though it plunges to life from beneath the mud,
It does not allow the dirt that surrounds it
To affect its growth or beauty.
Be that lotus flower always.
Do not allow any negativity or ugliness
In your surroundings,
Destroy your confidence,
Affect your growth,
Or make you question your self-worth.
It is very normal for one ugly weed
To not want to stand alone.
Remember this always.
If you were ugly,
Or just as small as they feel they are,
Then they would not feel so bitter and envious
Each and every time they are forced
To glance up at magnificently
Divine YOU.

REMEMBER THE LOTUS FLOWER by Suzy Kassem

Lately, the DIRT around me has gotten to me. There is just so much of it, to not feel dirty. I should not let it get to me. It’s true, the ugly weed does not stand alone, they come in bulks.

I am not special, or divine, I have never been the rose, but the daisy. I have never been the goddess, but the admirer. I have never seen me as special, but as average. I don’t feel great, but rather small.

But compared to all the dirt, I must seem magnificent and beautiful.

I need to remember the Lotus Flower.
