“Bloom where you are planted.” – Possibly from the Scriptures, but not these exact words!
When Spidey gave me this quote to work with today, I had a think, and it really ‘grew’ (sorry!) on me,
We are not always able to choose where we live, or what situation we find ourselves in. But the point is that if you can accept where you are in life, you can make the best of whatever life has given you, and blossom.
Sometimes it’s best to be king or queen of your own little pond, rather than dreaming of taking over an ocean. If that ocean is in your fate, it will happen.
Don’t dream so big, that you forget to wake up and live your actual life!
Having said that, it is not bad to dream… To aspire to become someone or something is never a bad thing!
Have a wonderful Sunday Peeps!
But I Smile Anyway...

Not from the scriptures, Sweetie, but very good (and practical) advice. Some Christian motivational author wrote a book by that title, but the expression may have been around a lot longer before then.

I tried so hard to find the actual person who said it, but it came back to similar words in the Bible that were then moulded to make this phrase, I think! It’s a great bit of advise to take heed of!

I think it has a meaning where you start your life. It gives you all for your journey and you can fill your backpack with it but it does not define where you are supposed to end up. Some need to bloom where they started and some have to spread their petals.
