A single dandelion is so powerful. The word dandelion as found in the dictionary is defined as a weed. People go to Home Depot or Lowes and search the shelves for weed killers that destroy this bud. Yet man people do not see how resilient this flower,(yes I purposely called it a flower) is. With just one single burst of wind or breath it becomes a chain reaction. It sets the world on fire and spreads its seeds around the world. The flower dies when plucked but only begins life. A dandelion is a prevailing tool in disguise as a humble flower. It symbolizes the love and kindness that can ensue from a small act of kindness. When life become clouded and full of troubles, these tiny gems are passed over. People briskly walk by forgetting the times when as little kids on bike rides they would stop and pick a bouquet of dandelions for their parents.

Imagine a world full of people who are dandelions. People who dare to make their dreams become a reality, or people who see the necessity of creating a better world. It does not need to start off being huge and have a global impact. Just one idea with the right amount of work, passion and help can spread throughout the world and transform it. In fact there are already “dandelions” out there. There are people who every day in each small step are setting a trail blaze which will produce inspirational change.They are not always out in the open and known. Many of these dandelions are in the shadows and may not even realize just how much of an effect they are making. Dandelions are small and often lost in the grass. However, when the right child comes and picks it up, it becomes a gentle force that never settles down.

What may be an unwanted plant to some people is a beautiful reminder of what each one of us is capable of doing if we believe in ourselves. With mentors and people who love and challenge us we can fly and let our amazing dreams grow into better and grander changes. The question left for you to answer is will you let your beautiful dandelion become a weed and be destroyed or will you choose to let it grow and impact the world?
