Sometimes life can give you that bitter pill when you never expect it.
I remember last week when I was standing, looking at my garden, checking the crops that I planted, the young beautiful crops that were growing. I was thinking I had a beautiful garden because I was so diligent in planting, watering and clearing the weeds. So as I thought they were thriving until suddenly a blight came and swept all my crops suddenly overnight.
All my plants sweetened, leaves were turning to yellow and they were already giving up. I felt so so bad. It was a bitter pill for me to swallow. Why will I watch out for my hard work, my hope crumble just like that? I wanted to curse nature and universe for allowing such to happen to me.
But as I was in the garden clearing the dead plants, then I found one still stubborn tomato crop, still in good shape. It wasn't perfect, it was still affected a little but it was my only hope in the garden. I would say just a small win, all in the mess.
But this bitter pill taught me a huge lesson. That not everything you nurture or build that will stand or grow and it is fine because that is life. Both good and bad can happen. When you lose something, it creates space for new things to come in.
You can plan next season for your garden even if you lose another one. But at least you've learnt your lesson and you never try it again. You can plan next season for your garden even if you lose another one. But at least you've learnt your lesson and you never try it again.
That is what life is all about. Learning from a mistake and doing better. Sometimes it might be hard to move forward but you have to swallow these pills, swallow your pride and keep moving. Never accept failure as an option and you are just starting something that will be stronger in the future.
