Cultivate 2

Do you have a garden or balcony and cultivate plants? You have a look about the offers of your garden. How is the ground? Is it rich of humus or just sand? Is the place sunny or in full shade? How long is it fully sunny?

Then you go through your gardening centre thinking. Strolling between the shelves and plants you search for the RIGHT PLANT. What can I grow easily? You see all the nice pictures of beautiful looking plants. You start right away seeing it in front of your inner eye. It looks charming in a park. Will it look beautiful in my small yard? With the wrong ground I will have a lot of trouble.

You stroll and stroll, till you find a plant you can grow easily. Less pretty looking than the tropical one of course. It will grow easily. When it is healthy, blossom rich, spreading a nice fragrance you will feel happy inside when seeing its beauty. You will feel the proud of growing it without help. You will pick the fruits and enjoy it. You will see the whole beauty of the plant.

Your garden grow slowly, it grows. Over the months it develops its own beauty. There are still parts missing the beauty of a cultivated garden. You feel proud because you cultivated it and still do. This proud is far more worth than the beauty of a huge park designed from professionals and cared for by them.

You are happy. There is still that little stitch of your imagination. You want to enjoy the full blossom of beauty. When a professional trains you, you get better and better. The plants grow better. Your garden gets prettier every day.

You enjoy the time in it so much. It is so great to feel the ground and inhale the fragrances of fresh ground, the plants and all the animals in your garden. Just lying there viewing the clouds and birds flying by and enjoying is so marvellous.

You forget about all the work and disappointments when you see that. You just enjoy what you have. You do so for some time.

Instead of cultivating habits to care about its beauty you just enjoy it. That is fine as you should enjoy what you have.

When you stop caring about blossom the beauty and richness suffers. You will find it exhausting to be in your garden.

Your joy lies in your continuous work and progress as you always discover new beauty.

When the garden is designed with local plants it works easily for a long time to just enjoy it. The plants are used to the circumstances so they grow, blossom and get fruits easily. You just have to care when the weather gets extreme. It feels so easy going.

When your garden is designed with plants from abroad you get some headache to grow them healthy. They have needs distinguishing from the local plants like a different ground, temperature, light, water amount. Animals easily damage them as the plants have only developed tools to deal with their local animals.

The plants have an exotic beauty. The fruits are very sweet. You have to pay a price for it a lot additional work, worries when the plants get ill, the price for the special nutrition for them. The blossom is for just a short time. The fruits hardly gets rip. The plants stay small.

The same is true regarding your life and beauty. You can learn to be a sportsperson, artist, salesperson, leader or whatever you want. When it is against your nature you have a hard time to get there. You will get all diseases possible when you are short before succeeding. When you compare to others in the same field you will find they can easily do what you fight for. You ask yourself: Is it really worth it? I have more fun when doing other things.

You pay a high price when forcing yourself to be in someone shoes.

You will discover what you are capable of when cultivating your inner gifts. You have to nurture them. There are times when you need to care more about developing your inner gifts. You feel the proud when succeeding. When you work on developing them you sometimes might sight: Why I am doing what I do. You always will feel your inner calling: go for it!

Step by step you create and cultivate your own beauty. You cultivate the way to cultivate being YOU.
