Why trying to “make the most of a bad situation” isn’t always the answer:

But what if the plants we see all around us could teach us lessons about how to live a successful, healthy and happy life?, Beronda L. Montgomery, a writer, researcher and scholar who is fascinated by the ways in which plants live and transform themselves and their communities, dives into this concept. She tackles a lot of important subjects throughout the book, including what plants can teach us about building diverse communities and making effective change.

“Bloom where you’re planted.” This phrase is often used to encourage people to survive and thrive wherever they find themselves. The idea is that we should behave like, which are widely assumed to make the best of the spot where the gardener places them. However, the analogy is misleading. Plants don’t just function within their environment: they actively participate in and transform it.

The transformational goals of pioneers often require an initial period of disruption. Just as prescribed fires are needed for managing certain ecosystems, intentional disruptions may be required in human ecosystems to interrupt entrenched patterns, or status quo thinking or action, and to move purposefully toward intended change outcomes. Although intentional disruption is often necessary, we should not overlook the reality that beneficial disruption opportunities can arise from bad intentions.
