I’ve never been a fan of nature and animal anecdotes when it comes to the way we should live life. These seem a little too cheesy, and when you really think about it, the same could be said about anything. Reading into anything and interpreting it into anything means nothing. I can take the workings of a machine and compare it to life. Would people be just intrigued if the article were not about flowers and about penises and vaginas instead? Where the penis has to work hard and fill with blood to ejaculate millions of sperm into the hostile environment of the vagina not knowing which of the millions of sperm make it to the egg… if any survive the acidic nature of the vagina. I mean, come on. Articles like these are for the unhappy and dissatisfied. “Work hard, you never know where it will make an impact.” If I were a boss, that’s what I’d tell my employees to keep them productive. It’s like ugly people who say beauty is really on the inside.

Hi Laura,
Great post. We can get all twisted up with self-analysis and internal debate in the world of self development, so I love the way you have gone back to the basics of nature to relate such an important point. Spring is all around us in my home town and it seems a great time to be de-stressing and sending my best efforts out into the world.
