I love this quote. Whitmore explains that "Just as the seed of a flower contains the blueprint for the flower which the seed will become, and inherently knows how to become that flower, there is a similar knowing to be found in the depth of our humanity."
It reminds me a bit of a Kabbalah saying I heard ages ago. That every blade of grass has it's own angel whispering encouragement "grow, grow".
Are you allowing yourself to become the person you're meant to be or are you trying to fit into a life / job / relationship that goes against the grain?
Whitmore talks about the futility of an acorn trying to become a rose bush. Oak trees rock. Why would any acorn want to become anything else? And yet how often do we humans try to force ourselves into a different way of being?
When you think about your life, do any areas stick out as times you're trying to be anything other than yourself?
When do you feel most like yourself?
Who supports you in being you?
Who makes you feel like you're not good enough just the way you are?
Pay attention to the times when you try to change others, too.
Make simple changes with your shedule, friends and other areas so you spend more time just being you and being appreciated and accepted for that.
