flowers bloom in the valley of death
Morning spirit
Today I can post from the next group. In my opinion, it can add excitement to all of us
- FLOWERS IN THE DEATH OF DEATH *
This is not a fictional story that you usually read in women's magazines. This is my true story, you and many other people around us.
If you have ever felt that you are not creative enough or do not have enough potential to produce great works, you should continue reading.
Death Valley or the valley of death is a desert located in the eastern state of California, United States.
Death Valley is known as the hottest and driest place in the world. In summer, the temperature there reaches 56.7 degrees Celsius. This valley with an elevation level of 86 meters below sea level rarely happens to rain.
Because of that condition, there are almost no plants that can live in Death Valley. From this condition this valley got its name, the valley of death.
Then something unexpected happened in mid-October 2004.
Rain spilled in Death Valley. Not much, only 1.5 inches. But if you remember that the total rainfall throughout the year in Death Valley is 2 inches, then the rain in October was something extraordinary.
What happened later?
Four months after the heavy rain, precisely in the spring of 2005, a miracle occurred. Millions of blooming flowers envelop the valley of death, creating a scene that has never been seen before.
Van Valkenburg, a resident living in Death Valley said, "For 25 years I have seen some flowers bloom here. At that time I thought I had seen miracles. Today I do not believe what I see here."
The phenomenon known as 'Super Bloom' attracts tens of thousands of tourists who come from all corners of the United States to witness miracles in Death Valley.
The valley of death really isn't really dead. Without many people realizing it, millions of seeds reside underground and behind rocks.
They live, but hide. They are waiting to be given the opportunity to blossom and grow.
Likewise with us humans.
No matter how we consider someone to be dry, there is no potential, in fact there are many seeds in his greatness. Unfortunately, the seeds are hidden. Immersed by self distrust, or by an environment that doesn't give him room to appear.
There is no stupid child. There are no individuals who are not creative. Everyone is born genius with his own form of genius.
"If you measure the greatness of a fish through its ability to climb trees, then he will live his whole life thinking that he is stupid," Einstein said.
For almost twenty years as a trainer, mentor and coach, I interacted with tens of thousands of people.
Some of them were labeled KW3 by the management of the company where they worked, both because of their low performance and their lack of behavior.
But honestly I say that many of them can make me amazed.
Maybe they are not the smartest people in the company, but their influence can make them have a lot of followers.
Maybe they are not the most disciplined (or even undisciplined) but their imagination is capable of seeing things that are not thought of by management.
If you choose to look pretty observant, then you will find genius in everyone. And if you decide to make room for the genius to blossom, then water it carefully with direction and encouragement, then you will see miracles.
I have seen these miracles over and over with the people around me.
I see it in yourself.
Maybe the miracle hasn't grown and bloomed at this time. But the seeds are clearly lined up waiting to be watered.
Don't wait for heavy rain to come. Because maybe he will never come by itself.
Create your own heavy rain. Or search and invite the heavy rain.
Enter in the right community. Invite a teacher who is ready to challenge you. It's time for suluk to someone who can be your mentor. Then challenge yourself. Set a high target, and go all the way.
You might fail at the first, second, third, or even more occasions. That is OK. Because the raindrops will not make fertile valley of death. Did you know, the heavy rain in October in Death Valley that I mentioned above caused flooding and damaged many properties there?
Painful. Troublesome. But it is needed.
So if you want to see miracles in your life, career or business,
Start by believing.
Believe that Allah has planted the seeds of miracles in you.
Then bring heavy rain. Face whatever happens.
Learn from him. Fix it. Face again.
Study more. Fix it. Face again.
At the end of 2017, be determined not to want to see yourself as you have seen all this year.
Starting in 2018, be determined to make a miracle. In your life and career and business.
If you are too lazy to do it for yourself, then do it for your children, your spouse, and your parents.
They deserve it. They have been waiting for him.
And they are sure that you can.
