Beauty is being the best possible version of yourself.
During COVID, I planted a whole series of roses in my garden. I felt that I would have a high yield of roses in a couple of months. Of course, it didn’t happen. After two years of waiting patiently, my dream roses materialized in my garden. Whenever I see the roses, I am pleasantly surprised and extremely glad of the results.
This whole transformation in my garden started with a dream. As Annette White said, “Dare to dream, then decide to do it.”
A dream is a seed that grows into an accomplishment. Before we can plan our course, we have to have a dream. Once we have the dream in place, we need to kick in our motivation to try to turn it into a reality. It doesn’t matter if we get things right the first time, as long as we try. We learn something new with every mistake, and soon we will be an expert in the field. Trust me, we’ll become a lot smarter than when we started. When we look back, we will be surprised by the beautiful results our consistent work has accomplished.
We have become a better version of ourselves. We have moved ahead in life.
