When I was growing up, I would often cry for being ridiculed, or when I was a laughing stock, or when I didn't do better than others. This demotivated me to the core and I never discovered myself.

But, one day, I heard a motivational speaker,
Who said,"only you can let yourself bloom. You need to help yourself to bloom." Hearing this, my life changed completely.

I began to help myself. I learned to wipe my tears as well as not to waste my tears at the drop of a hat. I stopped expecting people's attention, applause or appreciation. I stepped out of any race and with no competition in my mind, I began to feel happy in my own space.

I began to do things I loved. I read books that soothed my soul, heard music that calmed my nerves, watched movies that made me smile and bit by bit, piece by piece I began to bloom. I put myself back together again. I gave myself a second chance because I had understood that if I didn't, then no one else would. I realized by doing this, I had not only discovered myself, but I had fallen in love with myself and had bloomed so beautifully that I began to spread the fragrance to others to bloom themselves.
