Blooming where we are planted sometimes includes surviving difficult times. It ain’t all sunshine and rainbows — It might sound cliche, but it’s life.

Some people grow in a good way, some people grow even more in a tough time. It's not just wishful thinking. It is true — stress forces us to find new ways of dealing with things.

If you’re new to the terms “Bloom Where You’re Planted”

Bloom where you’re planted — a person should take advantage of the opportunities they have in their life and be grateful for the present situation.

How to bloom where you are planted; It’s about

  • Choices. In any given situation, we can always: change it, accept it, resist it. Whether we are not happy with where we are planted, we always have a choice.
  • Perspective. It's our ability to see the possibilities. It requires time to develop how to see the beauty in every situation, our ability as humans make us capable to do it in any given situation. All we need is to hone our ability. Looking at the big picture from a more objective view gives us the opportunity to see how, possibly surprisingly, your desires and challenges have all moved us forward in our journey.
  • People. People we hang out with influence our thoughts, actions, habits, choices, and even what we dream of in our own life. Choose it wisely. Some people show up like sunshine, some people as a weed. Showering someone with positive energy and bringing out the best in people will in return help us feel good about ourselves.

I hope when you’re reading this, you’re happy with your life, even if you’re not. You’re not alone. Sometimes we hate life, but look at ourselves now! I can write my story on medium, you can read it on your gadget even we are now separate a million miles away. We are blessed with anything we had and soon we will do better things.

Challenges are part of life. It’s what you choose to do with the challenges that move you forward.
