Have you ever noticed butterflies? No matter how carefully we try to catch them, they often escape our grasp. But if they spot a flower or a garden, they are naturally drawn to it. That is when they become easier to catch. This is very much like our attempts to win over others.
Some people try consciously and deliberately to attract those they like-just like how one offers toys or sweets to win a child’s affection and draw them close. But despite our efforts, people don’t always come to us.
Some individuals are like those butterflies-they won’t come just because we chase them. So don’t run after them. Be a flower. Be a garden. Then butterflies will come to you.
There are many qualities that turn a person into a flower or a garden-unique character traits, dignified behavior, respectful interactions, sincere engagement, and keeping one’s word.
If no one is drawn to you in any way, don’t immediately assume something is wrong with them-it might be time to reflect on yourself. One of life’s gentle lessons is this: When you become the flower or the garden, butterflies will come fluttering toward you.
