Remember the lotus flower

REMEMBER THE LOTUS FLOWER

Great people will always be mocked by those who feel smaller than them.
A lion does not flinch at laughter coming from a hyena.
A gorilla does not budge from a banana thrown at it by a monkey.
A nightingale does not stop singing its beautiful song at the intrusion of an annoying woodpecker.
Whenever you should doubt your self-worth, remember the lotus flower.
Even though it plunges to life from beneath the mud,
It does not allow the dirt that surrounds it
To affect its growth or beauty.
Be that lotus flower always.
Do not allow any negativity or ugliness in your surroundings
destroy your confidence,
affect your growth,
or make you question your self-worth.
It is very normal for one ugly weed
to not want to stand alone.
Remember this always.
If you were ugly, or just as small as they feel they are,
Then they would not feel so bitter and envious.
Each and every time they are forced
to glance up at magnificently
Divine YOU.
