[New post] Bloom when situations don’t meet your expectations.

We can't always choose the cards we have been dealt, but we can learn to play them. Like a flower that grows through a crack in the concrete, sometimes we have to make the best of our situations and bloom where we have been planted.
You may not be where you want to be in life just yet. You may be working a day job that is not your passion and working on your dream through the night.
Keeping our dreams alive is what uplifts the human spirit. But how can we deal with the fact that sometimes we may have to tolerate something that we do not like to eventually get to where we want to be?
Not everyone can quit their jobs and follow a dream. Sometimes our dreams take time. So instead of getting bitter and upset at your situation, why not try blooming where you have been planted?
Here is what you can do to makes a difference:
1) Every step in life prepares you for the next one; You may not realize it, but where you are now is providing you with vital life lessons for your next adventure. Every chapter in your life builds a foundation to launch the next chapter. So you have a choice. You can either feel sorry for yourself, wondering why you are not where you want to be and cursing the situation that you are in. Or you can look at this as a lesson. Ask yourself, "What is this here to teach me?" and "How can I use this experience to reach my ultimate goal?" You may be in a difficult place right now so you can learn to shine your light so bright that it drowns out the darkness. Keep working towards your next step and understand that your destiny is not determined by your current circumstances.
So why not choose to be happy now?
2) Stop complaining; We can't always be happy about everything we do, there would be days where we would be either happy or not happy with the situation or the circumstance. Your job and circumstances may not be ideal right now. But you have to decide for yourself what you can change and what you cannot.
4) Bloom through the concrete; You may be in a situation where other people are not doing their best. Instead of expecting others to change, learn to change yourself. Don't let small things get to you. Like the eye at the center of a tornado, keep your balance even when the world around you is swirling. If other people are late, you still arrive on time. If others have given up, you continue to persevere.
Learn to bloom where you are planted. Even if you find yourself planted under some concrete at the moment, look for the crack in the concrete to find your way out.
