WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM

PLANTS

1. They adapt to the changing seasons of life.

Plants do not complain like humans do. They just get the job done. One of the
greatest lessons we can learn from plants is their ability to adapt to each of the
seasons. They have figured out that the seasons are going to come around every
year each with their unique challenges.

So, in order for them to continue to thrive throughout their life, in spite of these
challenges, they are prepared to adapt to accommodate them. The plants that
adapt the best are the ones that last the longest.

2. Plants don’t set limits for how big they can grow.

They grow as much as they can. Our limiting beliefs are what almost always
hold us back from doing anything. These beliefs place restrictions on what we
will achieve. In order for us to grow, we have to be like plants and remove any
limiting beliefs.

Plants have an abundance mindset, not a scarcity mindset. Plants don’t require
another plant’s – or anything else for that matter – validation to be who they are.
They don’t compare themselves to other plants. They are content with the
purpose that they have been given and diligently go about fulfilling that purpose
to the best of their ability.

3. They create something of value for others.

This might be the most important one. By their very
existence, plants are constantly providing a benefit in one
way or another for someone or something else. The endless
benefits of plants would be difficult to list but nutrition,
shelter, and the air purification are just to name a few.

The calming beauty of plants, medicinal value,
and their role in keeping the earth’s ecosystem
balanced are other benefits that we can be grateful
to plants for. In learning this life lesson, we can be
prompted to ask ourselves, “What value am I
bringing to others and the world around me?”

“Adding value to others is such an
important concept yet so few people

know how to do it.” - Elias Amash
