BE THE DANDELION…
Today, I want to talk to you about someone unexpected. Not a hero from the movies, not a famous leader, not even a person—but a flower.
The dandelion.
You’ve seen it before. It’s not fancy like a rose or fragrant like a lily. In fact, most people call it a weed. They try to pull it out of the ground, mow it down, or poison it. But the dandelion? It grows anyway.
It grows in the cracks of sidewalks. In forgotten fields. In places no other flower dares to grow.
It doesn’t wait for perfect conditions. It makes the best of where it is. And when the wind blows, it doesn’t hold on in fear. It lets go. It spreads its seeds, its future, into the unknown—trusting that something beautiful will grow.
The dandelion reminds us of something powerful:
You don’t have to be flashy to be strong.
You don’t need everyone’s approval to have value.
And when life pushes you down, you get back up—and bloom anyway.
So the next time you feel out of place, overlooked, or underestimated, remember the dandelion.
Be strong. Be resilient. Be true to who you are.
Be the dandelion.
