9/23/2021 0 Comments Sunflowers and GROWTH![]() How many of you can say the following statement without bluffing. “I am 100% comfortable in my own company.” How about this one? “I thrive on my own success.” Yeah… I know you wanna think that those statements are you, but most likely… they aren’t. The majority of us just are naturally uncomfortable being alone and being in our own company, hence why you see so many people jumping around from relationship to relationship because as much as you wanna say “I don’t need no one,” in reality… you hate being alone. However, there are some people out there who ACTUALLY are a-okay with being alone and just enjoy their own company.
But Alissa… how can someone enjoy being alone? They must just be loners who hate talking to people. No, no, no my friend… the people who enjoy their own company are most likely the most outgoing people you know. Why? Well, because the people who allow themselves to be alone in their own heads and take advantage of their alone time are the ones who achieve the most in life/inspire others to do the same. They have become so comfortable with their own energy that they are able to channel it into achieving their goals AND even better, passing that same energy to others around them. I have named people like this “Sunflowers.” Someone once told me that I was like a Sunflower.. I was confused because I am not tall.. And to be truthfully honest I didn’t think that sunflowers were even that nice looking, so I was low key offended. “Why the fuck am I like a sunflower… roses are way prettier” was my instant reaction. That was… until he described the reasons WHY I was like a sunflower. “Sunflowers thrive in the sunlight… and when the light goes away, they turn towards each other to conserve the energy with each other. You shine in the sunlight and you use your energy to uplift others at the same time.” And to this VERY day I firmly believe that I will never ever ever receive another compliment as bold, humbling, and honorable in my entire fucking life… DEADASS. The thing about people, is they tend to be very surface level, we base our relationships with people on physical appearance and followers on social media… so to come across Sunflowers is a rare occasion and should NOT be taken lightly. Sunflowers pass on their positivity to everyone around them, making their purpose shine BRIGHT asf. But, like I said, they are so rare to find. I have met a very small list of sunflowers in my life, but let me tell you when I found these people, I promised myself to NEVER lose contact with them because they are people who help enhance my growth, as well as just radiate positive/inspiring energy. But, this article isn’t only about sunflowers, it’s about energy. I am not gonna front like I am this insanely spiritual being, but I will admit that I do connect to some parts of the spiritual journey. I believe in the universe, and I believe in signs, and I believe in energy. Some people have energy that doesn’t react well with yours, meaning that their energy may nit replenish you in any shape or form. In fact, their energy may make you feel DRAINED. This is not to say that they are negative and draining people, but some people are on a higher wave and are just meant to do more… and are CAPABLE of doing so much more. As you grow, you learn who was meant to grow with you and who was meant to stay in the past. Some people were once at your level of growth, but in a new stage of life you both seem to be at different levels. Some. People. Are. Not. Meant. For. Growth. And people like that will surround themselves with the same people as them, people who don’t want to grow as quickly and as vastly as you. In my past few years of rapid growth and self-realization, I came to the conclusion that some people are meant for you for a certain time, and some people you are meant to outgrow. This goes especially for friends, not just significant others. Friends who are stuck in the past, friends who are constantly starting arguments, friends who talk behind your back, friends who say “you’ve changed,” those are people that you have outgrown… and while they may have been great people in the past, you are at a different level of growth and a new level of life… and they just don’t enhance you anymore. And that is OKAY! Growth is meant to help you weed out the people who don’t help you create new opportunities for yourself. So, I am lucky to say that within the past few years, I have gotten the opportunity to not only weed out the people that I have outgrown, but I also have found some pretty fucking awesome people who create a healthy enviornment for me to grow. You know who you are ;) I would like to close this article out with a quote from one of my sunflowers that I have the fucking blessing to be in contact with. Not only does she shine bright as fuck, but she actively wants to see her circle succeed… she is truly a GENUINE person. This is something she said to me. I have never believed in anything more, your brand will be your main money maker one day. @kaylabirmingham People who push you and encourage you like THIS are the Sunflowers… and the people you need to surround yourself with. Sunflowers in my life: AA, KB, TS, BV, OL
