The only way to understand beauty is when we open a spot in our lives to hear its message.

It is not about a moment of clarity, but an appreciation of the purpose it serves.

There are feelings and reasoning behind what our minds process both intentionally and passively. We walk by so many things in a days time that hold the ability to affect us. Our minds sometimes zone in and focus on the things we are dealing with at that point in time.

As humans it is hard to stop for a moment and appreciate not only the beauty around us, but the beauty inside of the things we do notice. An example of this is one that just hit me in the heart. My niece was telling me about a flower ring that she got for Christmas last year and her happiness held such a purity and innocence. She made it very clear that the pedals were one color and the center of the flower was another. It led me to think about the things that I did along my journey that did not receive enough appreciation. Even the most hopeless of tries was a form of hope(Food for growth even through failures). In understanding this I realized that every petal(Experience and lesson) I have been able grow from a nutrient lacking skeleton into a reproductive fully engaged human with all of the thanks in the world. I am now able to provide a story by being given chances at life that told me there is a purpose.

We all have the potential to grow, even in the darkest of places. All it takes is for you to see the glimmer of light that shines within.

What will you do today to understand the process of your personal journey and use it to appreciate and pay attention to the beauty in your story?
