Just take a good look at a rose and see the way the petals unfold.

The objective of each petal in the rose is to dazzle with its beauty, bath the world with color, and refresh the surroundings with its fragrance. However, it is not until all the outer covering petals have opened up that the inner petals will have the opportunity to bloom in the sun.

For you to be born, your parents had to be born, they had to find one another, so that they could give birth to you. If you are in a relationship, the parents of you partner had to be born, meet and give birth to him or her so that you could meet and fall in love. For you to read this, my parents had to be born, meet and give birth to me, and the Internet had to be invented. It is like you being a petal inside a rose. And so you see, before you are finally able to stand out in the sun and dazzle with your beauty, bath the world with color, and refresh the surroundings with your fragrance, many more petals before you will have to open.

If you have recently lost someone who is important in your life, it is good to understand that his or her going away is yet another outer petal that opened so that you may get closer to your chance to bloom in the sun. And just like that petal whose objective in life is to give beauty, color and fragrance, you too will realize you purpose.
