I have heard these things before, but this is illustrated in a cute manner. The advice is solid. Right now I should be concentrating more on hydration, and making sure my surroundings are healthy. In the 70's I told people I was the "flower of my family" because I was a "blooming idiot". Do you have any horticultural leanings? We also used to remind ourselves to "bloom where you are planted". Honestly I have more plant like sayings, but I think I would like you to chime in on this.

I'm not familiar with any plant sayings. I do like the meme though.

So fun to share with my friends here. I wish I had though of it originally, but I do not mind adopting it as my own.

Good comparison ! Sometimes We don't take care of ourselves so much as we do on our plants.

It is a shame, but we often fail to take care of ourselves.

That is a cute little way of reminding us to take good care, and worth framing. My Grandpa gave me a plaque of a little girl watering a flower and it said plant a wish and grow a dream. I think of that of often.

This is certainly worth framing. I also like 'bloom where you are planted'. Some waste a lot of time (and life) wishing things were different.

I have plants and trees in my garden but I don't know much about plants saying. Yes, people in India say that the bud has bloomed once a young girl gets married.

I used to work for a guy who had that "bloom where you're planted" sign up in his office. I always thought it was good advice.
