Spring is in the air! The days are growing longer, birds are nesting, and flowers are blooming.

So, what about you? Are you blooming where you are planted? Sometimes we can’t choose the cards we’ve been dealt, but we can learn to play them.

Just as flowers blooms in difficult terrain, sometimes we have to make the best of our circumstances and bloom where we have been planted.

Everyone faces situations that may be out of our control; However, we can change our perspective and consider it an opportunity for growth and maturity.

According to Merriam-Webster dictionary change can be defined as the act or instance of making or becoming different. This means you don’t have to be stagnant and let life happen to you. You can maintain control by adjusting your perspective.

When challenges arise ask yourself, what is this situation trying to teach me about myself, my interpersonal relationships and life in general? There just might be a lesson that will help transform your life for the good.

For many of us change can be difficult so learning to cultivate mental flexibility will help us from being overly rigid and open to new experiences.
