A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully and before it blossomed, he examined it. He saw the bud that would
soon blossom but noticed thorns upon the stem and he thought…
How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns? Saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose, and before it was ready to bloom, it died.
Friends, it is with many people. Most of us surrender before making struggle, as we are afraid of the thorns or
obstacles that stand in our way to success. Within every soul there is a rose; the God-like qualities planted in us at birth growing amid the thorns of our faults. Many of us look at ourselves and see only the thorns, the defects and despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly come from us.
We neglect to water the good within us and eventually it dies. We never realise our potential. Don’t let this happen with you what has happened with the `innocent rose bud’…died before blossoming!
Recognise your potential and keep on watering your
efforts and go ahead, overcoming all the thorns (obstacles) towards your way to success and you will see that THE BUD OF YOUR EFFORTS WILL BLOSSOM INTO A BEAUTIFUL ROSE OF SUCCESS…
