Matured Thinking, the way!

The bee was hovering above the flowers in the garden trying to focus on the potential flower to extract his share of the honey

His attention was drawn towards a flower that was unusually keeping a sad face

Concerned the bee landed close to the flower and asked what's up?

The little flower didn't lift its head nor answer, just kept mum, now the bee was worried!

He said, look we have been friends for some time and you know that I care for all of you though on & off I do extract a bit of my food from you guys

The bee said, kindly open up and share your feelings and I will for sure try to see if there is a valid reason to worry

The flower felt a bit reassured and in a low voice said, my good friend bee, you are aware that I am still blossoming and till yesterday late hours, I was just a bud

Now look at me as I am blossoming, am I anywhere closer in appearance or fragrance or beauty to the rest of those lively flowers that adorn this garden?

The bee looked straight in the eye of the flower and said, my little beauty you have confused yourself with the stages of blossoming

Most of those flowers that you are comparing are in their withering stage and they have all served the purpose of their creation

You have just entered that stage of mature thinking hence these thoughts in your mind, you are on the right path, by nightfall you will outshine all the other flowers in this garden

But I want you to remember that we all fall in the pattern of the life cycle and you are no exception hence you too will wither

Anyway that's for another day so let's enjoy the time in-between our birth and exit

We all transform from this bud to a flower stage and we all will harbour such doubts like how the little flower had

This transformation from the bud to a lively flower is known as “maturity”

This matured life will dawn on us over time and till such time it's wise to keep the mind open to learning 🙏🏼
