Growing in Spring

Flowers bloom in Spring. 

But not all flowers. 

And not all on the same day. 
 

Flowers have ways of knowing when to bloom—
knowing when conditions are right, knowing when 
their chance to thrive is approaching.

The decision to bloom

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

- Anaïs Nin

Regret's big imagination

According to a seminal study led by Neal Roese, Ph. D., our regrets are split between actions (things we did and wish we hadn't) and inactions (things we did not do but wish we had). 

We seem to regret actions and inactions nearly equally, but the study showed that our regrets over inaction—
our regrets of things we did not do and wish we had—
are more likely to fester.
