Grow Where You're Planted (Originally Published 7/21/2020)

Recently I noticed 2 corn stalks growing up out of the middle of my lawn. Really?? Corn stalks? I have been cleaning up dried ears of corn from my yard/garden all spring. I figured they were left over Indian corn ornaments from the previous fall that the squirrels were moving around. I’d remove one old ear of corn and another ear would appear a week later.
Two corn stalks growing in the yard – abnormally – caused me to ponder what message nature might be sending me. I can’t imagine the energy that was required for 2 kernels of corn to sprout roots and push their way through the lush carpet of my lawn. I can imagine however that the intention of the corn kernel is to reproduce itself and to do that, the kernel is programed to reach for the light – in this case, sun light.
I had to ask myself, am I reaching for the light? I mean really reaching? Am I settling or am I reminding myself that I am a being of huge magnitude with a mission to produce according to how I am wired.
Take an assessment of where you are. Here are some places where you can “grow where you’re planted.”
· In a job you don’t like.
· In a loveless marriage.
· Behind an exceptionally slow driver.
· Where you were abandoned.
· In prison.
· While you are sick.
· While dying.
· Fired from a job.
· While going through grief.
· The parent of a teenager.
· A failed business.
Are you growing or dying where you are planted? The choice is yours.
Affirmation – I grow in the light right where I am planted.
