The Courage to Bloom
Self-encouragement
- The Courage to Begin
"I don't want to grow flowers," you say
"I don't want to see them fall a little."
Yes, in order to avoid the end
You've shunned the very start, the delicate seedling
Life that has never failed - what of success?
Never try to begin, always stand still
Frozen in place, bereft of the chance
To blossom, to thrive, to fulfill
Oh, but the beauty that blooms from the seed
The vibrant petals unfurling with care
Is it not worth the risk of their fading
The chance that they may not always be there?
For to live is to weather the seasons
The radiant summers, the somber declines
Growth and decay, hand in hand they must go
Intertwined like vines
Yet you cling to the safety of stagnation
Fearful of the pain that change may bring
You'd rather forego the joy of the flowering
Than face the sorrow when petals take wing
But tell me, my friend, what is life without risk?
What is existence devoid of the unknown?
A barren landscape, a desert of sterile
Where dreams lie buried, forever unshown
The path of the flower is not an easy one
Fraught with challenges that test its resolve
Yet in that struggle, in that dance with the elements
Its beauty and strength truly evolve
So why do you shun the chance to bloom
To unfurl your true self for the world to see?
Is the fear of falling too great a burden to bear
When the rewards of growth could set your spirit free?
Life is not a static, unchanging thing
A tableau frozen in time's endless flow
It is a journey of ebbs and flows
Of heights and depths, of ebb and of woe
To live is to embrace the cycle of change
To welcome the seasons as they come and go
For in that dance with the ever-shifting tides
We find the courage to let our true selves show
So cast off the shackles of your self-imposed limits
And dare to take that first tentative step
Allow the seed of your potential to germinate
And watch as it blossoms, defying all doubt's debt
Yes, there will be challenges, moments of pain
When the weight of the world seems too much to bear
But in those trials, you'll find the strength to grow
To weather the storms and emerge fresh and fair
For the flower that blooms without struggle or strife
Is a pale shadow of what it could be
It is through the crucible of hardship and toil
That true beauty and greatness can be set free
So do not shrink from the risk of beginning
The chance that your dreams may not come to pass
Embrace the uncertainty, the tumult of life
And let your vibrant petals unfurl at last
For in the end, it is not the lack of failure
That truly defines a life well-lived and true
No, it is the courage to start, to try, to grow
That sets the stage for all that you can do
So let go of your fears, your doubts, your hesitation
And take that first step towards the life you desire
