“If we water and water a plant and it doesn’t grow how we expected it to, we don’t say “after all that water I gave you? How dare you! You owe me growth!” We think, “oh maybe I had good intentions but my method was not quite what this plant needed. Maybe I should do my research and find what works for this specific plant to thrive. Maybe I should reflect on my expectations as perhaps this plant is not meant to grow as big and full as I had hoped.” Would I blame the plant? Would I blame myself? No, I keep trying to adjust my nurturing to meet the individual needs of the plant.” J.
