And the time came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

About This Quote

A bud is a young flower, and to remain tight within a young flower is to be oblivious to the true nature of the world. It may mean you don’t have to face many challenges, or that you can avoid them if you wish. However, as the bud matures and opens up, it faces more challenges and it also faces its own temptations. That means that it must take a risk, open itself to the possibilities of the world, and grow.
