Thrive

You've no doubt heard
"bloom where you are planted".
But this is more than that.
when flowers fight through sidewalk cracks;

when one species mothers another;

when the sun separates the clouds;

it is more than simply 'blooming';

it is thriving.

And so it is with you.

You will be hurt,

you will be betrayed,

you will face obstacles,

you will be challenged,

you will be knocked down.

Do not let that define you.

Do not just 'bloom'

but thrive

in that adversity!

Become all the things,

be all the titles.

Allow the world 

to see you thrive!

Thrive in spite of it all!!!
