Day 329 of wisdom
“Where there is love there is life.”
Mahatma Gandhi
Love is to life what soil is to a tree. Without the soil, the tree cannot stand nor blossom, without love, life would have no meaning, life would be baseless, and thriving would be impossible. Nothing thrives as much as it should in a hostile environment, maximum efforts will only produce minimum results in an environment where there is no love, where discord and apathy reigns. One who would succeed at whatever he does can only achieve such in an environment where love is present, a positive environment breeds positive results and negative environment breeds negative results.
Erwin D. Maramat once said, "What is virtue when surrounded by toxic people? What is honesty in the maelstrom of the oppressive? For as sweet as you may be, you might as well be a grain of sugar lost in a spoon of salt." Though Lilies grow in the mire, it seldom blossom and last long as it would have if it was cultivated and nursed in an horticultural garden. When an environment is conducive growth will be easy, thriving will be stressless.
An environment governed by love is an environment where unity, peace and justice reigns, and therefore is an environment that gives her people the opportunity and privilege to live a full life. As Maya Angelou once said, "Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope." Success is guaranteed only in love. In the words of ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu, he said," Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage." courage and strength are needed in our pursuit of success.
The best people to always be around, are the people who always want to see you do well, they are the people who always want to see you become your best and highest self. Being around jealous and envious people will deprive you of a sound mind and give you so many things to worry about other than your purpose and how to achieve it. Life becomes unbearable when you are around toxic people, people who are not interested in your growth and progress. As A. D. Posey would say, "Surround yourself with those conducive to you being your highest self." It is only among people whom you are most comfortable that you can thrive the best.
