The plants that grow regardless

What water do plants use to grow? It's almost always water you can't drink, it's dirty water. I get that our systems are different, we're human beings, essentially mammals and they're plants but there's an analogy and some wisdom to be gotten from this.

If dirty water doesn't stop a plant from growing you shouldn't let the negative comments or words or remarks of people stop you from making the progress you need. Also, some plants are so resilient that in the most harsh conditions, they still find a way to thrive. Such is life. You may never know where you'll end up or what will happen tomorrow. Plants adapt so well and some plants just know how to do it at a serious level. Your ability to adapt and your flexibility is very necessary for your own survival as it is for the plants.

Some plants are weak though. If they're ignored they die. If you get support from people, thank them, but you need to build yourself to a level where you know that without them you'll still find a way to survive. If you rely on people too much, you're handicapped and you're very vulnerable or susceptible to abuse, manipulation and deception.

One person said something profound about money. He said, I seek to be rich not so I can buy stuff but so people can't buy me. Since money gives independence, you don't rely on people too much. The plant that does not need a caretaker to grow is always sure to complete its cycle. But the plant that does stands a chance of dying.

So I seek to build a level of independence knowing that we need human beings but you don't set your life in such a way that without the people that are supporting, you die.
