Life Is Like Planting Flower

Meditation: Advice to Beginners

Last several days I read parts of a book called Meditation: Advice to Beginners. I read it because I want to learn Zen's habit. I learned a new thought from it: life is like planting flowers.

Why do I say that? Because we have lots of plans or things need to do in our whole life. The things and plans are like seeds, and life is like a field for us planting. The seeds need long to time to grow and somebody can’t wait for the long period anymore, and they think they may plant it in a wrong way. Then, they grab the seeds away and use the other different ways to plant it. However, there isn’t any way to make it grow faster. The people keep doing the change, they can’t get the flowers at the end of their life.

Now, we know the reason that why many people can’t get the things they want. So what do we do to avoid this happened. Once, we decide to do something, no matter how hard it is， just keeping doing it, and then you will get the flowers at the end.
