About five years ago, I received an orchid as a gift. After the flowers fell off, I hoped to revive it, but my mind was cluttered with doubts and distractions:
"Orchids are such difficult plants to maintain."
"I'm no good at keeping pot plants alive; I'm better in the garden."
"I'm too busy to think about this."
"What's the big deal anyway?"
"Ugh, I will never get this right!"
...and the list went on. You get the idea.
Then, about six months ago, I decided to let go of these preconceived notions and truly connect with the plant. I felt an instinct to run water through it every 2-4 weeks. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I didn't entertain my past doubts. Instead, I observed the plant each time I looked at it. Every time I saw a new root or leaf grow, I felt a surge of excitement.
About two weeks ago, I noticed a stalk, and yesterday, it blossomed.
I'm amazed at the power of tuning in, even to a plant. The experience became easier, my emotions lighter, and the results incredibly rewarding.
Imagine what we could discover if we applied the same approach to people and our work.
