The lotus blooms from muddy waters. Here's what that ancient symbol teaches us about resilience and self-compassion.
We often expect healing to follow a straight line. But the lotus reminds us that growth is cyclical. Some days you rise to the surface; other days you rest beneath the water gathering strength. Both are part of the bloom. Give yourself permission to move at the pace of your own becoming.
