Go There

There are days in which you turn a corner and see a blind spot.

Then, you wonder how you could have been so blind to an area that seemed so well-illuminated.

We are not seeds planted by life. We are the farmers who plant seeds in life. Each of us is born with a variety of seeds.

The one that blooms is the one the environment we are in can sustain.

As children, we are conditioned to plant only what will bloom in our environment.

Adolescence is a rebellion against that conditioning—a desire for a different seed to thrive and bloom, a desire for a different fruit.

Adulthood is the realization that to change the fruits you harvest, you must plant in an environment where such fruits can be sustained.

Where do the fruits you desire flourish? Go there.
