The sunflower eventually fades and dies.  It’s leaves dry and its color dulls.  But even then it has a beautiful lesson for us.  Not only do we hold its beauty in our mind, but the sunflower continues to live on in multiple ways.

• Sunflower oil for cooking,
• Animal feed,
• Bio diesel fuel
• Healthy, tasty sunflower seeds, and
• Cleaning toxins from the environment.

It always puts a smile on my face to see fields of sunflowers in bloom.  They have such a generous attitude.  The sunflower not only shares its beauty as it lifts its face to the sun as though laughing with joy.  – It also provides a landing field for all kinds of airborne insects from bumble bee to butter fly who in turn spread the flower’s pollen.

This is easily understood by people with age esteem.  Age-esteemers also have an attitude of generosity.

• They focus their thoughts on the sunshine, the positive.
• They shine with inner beauty.
• They share their joy of living, and
• They spread their pollen of wisdom.

The sunflower is beautiful! – Not because it is perfect, but because it shines with a natural beauty both in the sunshine and the shade.  In fact, the sunflower brightens any setting.  It raises its head with confidence and brings a happy glow to the world.

Age-esteemers bring their happy glow to the world as well, as they find ways to brighten the days of others.
