I went out to do some errands and my husband sent me this photo of our little plant, it bloomed today! After 2 months of being planted. This made me think about greed, how can a plant make me think about greed? Well, as I mentioned 2 months ago, I planted some beans, I thought it wouldn't even germinate, I didn't have any kind of hope, but if it did, it was a surprise for me, it was growing beautifully and getting taller, I got too excited, I wanted to rush it so that it would flower and grow pods, so I searched the Internet and it suggested that these plants should get enough sun and that they grow faster in warmer climates, so I took it to the terrace to get as much sun as possible. ... serious mistake, I murdered my plant, I continued researching on the Internet and I read an article that says that this type of plant cannot be transplanted because they die, that is what happened to my plant, I moved it to a place where it would gave more shade, but it was full of pests, I was giving up, my husband told me we can't give up, we have to try, so I started cutting the withered leaves, hydrating it enough, a little more than I already did. , because due to the strong sun it dried faster, my husband made a home remedy for pests. I let go of the idea of wanting it to flourish at my own pace, I started doing what I should have in the beginning, just caring and admiring it from a distance, without manipulating or rushing. Today she surprised us with these little lilac flowers. With this experience that seems vain and insignificant, I started to think about all the times I have been greedy, because when I have become obsessed with rushing times and taking the "easiest" paths, everything has gone wrong, the strongest of all. was when I lost a significant amount of money for me, I ignored every investment rule because I wanted to make money "faster and in greater quantities", why was I so desperate to make more money? to travel and meet my family again, because at that time I had not seen them for 2 years, and because of my greed I delayed 2 years in 6 years, yes, I have not seen my family for 6 years, they have not been able to come to the country where I live and I have not been able to get out of here, I ended up without money and in debt, simply because of greed, to this day I am still working on fixing all the bad decisions I made, in a grief that I have not been able to go through, but that I also work on So that it doesn't affect me so much, some days are easier or more difficult than others.
Just as I must let my little plant flourish at its own pace, only taking care of it with love and patience, so I must act with everything in life, leave greed aside, not let it cloud my vision and make me make decisions that harm the What I want to achieve. It's ridiculous what a plant made me think about.
