A woman buys a plant that comes with a tag: โWater daily, place in sunlight, and it will thrive.โ
She puts it on a shelf, dims the lights, and whispers, โYou are already perfect just the way you are.โ
A week later, itโs wilted.
She sighs, โI guess it just wasnโt meant to grow.โ
Moral: Believing in potential doesnโt replace the care and conditions needed to actually realize it.
