My husband says he never wants to be a pot plant. To be stuck to the same spot and limited to the confines of a pot.

And yet, a plant can grow out of its pot. It doesn’t doubt its potential. It keeps growing. It doesn’t fear what will happen if it grows beyond the pot. It might get hurt by the wind and the rain as it gets bigger. But it keeps growing. It doesn’t choose to stay small and play safe. It keeps growing. It starts to push against the edge of the pot. Until it bursts out of its pot. It’s a wonder to behold.

The truth is we are all pot plants. We just need to allow ourselves to keep growing.
