“I hope you are blessed with a heart like a wildflower,”- Nikita Gill.

I stumbled upon a great article about wildflowers yesterday. The article was about their different species and nature.

And for some reason, the spontaneous nature of wildflowers, a vibrant range of colors, and the ability to grow deliberately, spoke to my heart. It made me think!

I always believed that nature has so much to offer; it can teach us valuable lessons even in the tiniest things. Like the wildflowers can teach us so much about the beautiful, unpredictable journey called life!

Have you ever compared yourself with a wildflower? You can be a vivid poppy flower, a delicate blue cornflower, or beautiful chamomile. Whatever you decide to remember, there’s a little part of wildflower that always stays inside us.

Wildflowers are always portrayed as an untamed fire that burns the ground with their carefree attitude! But, wildflowers are much more than that.

Here I’m passing to you all the things that I’ve learned about life from wildflowers.

1. Wildflowers can Bloom in the Most Broken Places

Wildflowers don’t need the pampering of the gardener. You don’t have to pay extra care to pick them up and plant them in the right place. Wildflowers don’t care about who waters them. They don’t wait for you to compost them.

They can bloom gorgeously even in the most uncomfortable places. They can spread their roots and break through the cracks in solid concrete. They always find a way to grow!

As humans, we also have to bloom magnificently in the most uncomfortable places. You may lose your friends or family. Or you’re stuck in a broken relationship. Maybe you are suffering from illness, dwelling with self-doubts. In a moment like this, be a wildflower and break through the celling of negativity.

2. Messy Can Be Beautiful

The perennial beauty of wildflowers is alluring because of their messy, wild nature. They don’t need a fancy tub, or a lavish garden to grab your attention. Their holistic appeal demands your attention when you walk barefooted in the field of Daisy.
