Many of us become so disappointed in ourselves, thinking of all the times we've messed up. Of course, we hide it, pretend it's not happening, and judge ourselves and others harshly. We focus on all we've done wrong in our lives, rather than what the outcome of our errors could be. . However, from the Zen point of view, everything is needed. All times of confusion, error, sorrow and other unwanted experiences are the mud of our life. But without the mud, a flower cannot bloom. All trees, flowers, bushes, have deep roots in the mud, which nourish them. In the same way, the hard times in our lives and our mistakes can fertilize the wonderful growth and compassion we are capable. When we see how the mud and lotus flower are interconnected, a new horizon opens wide. No need to hate or blame ourselves or others. Just see what we can learn from the mud under our feet, how it can support real growth, love and wisdom.
