DO YOU ALLOW YOURSELF TO DREAM?
"All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today."
Indian Proverb
While a bloom opens in its own time, while being urged from the sun, the moon, the seasons, it's seeds are like our dreams. We need to dream. We need to allow our imaginations to cultivate the seeds of our dreams. Allow your mind to be the good soil that beautiful flowers bloom in.
