The Cherry Stone

The Hard Shell

Often we hear the saying “hard shell and soft core”, as a description of a person with specific characteristics. The words are used in different life situations and include one of the most important facts when it comes to developing life potential.

Sometimes you have to change the proverb to describe the underlying universal concept better. One of these changes could look like this:

A hard shell outside, but an infinite potential within!

The Cherry Tree

Consider the emergence of a cherry tree. From the small seed to the big tree! The cherry stone contains all necessary and vital information; like the energy to grow, the potential and knowledge of how growth takes place and also the ability to communicate with other processes and life forms! Out of this unique responsibility comes a big cherry tree.

The Shell of the ‘cherry seed’ is hard as a stone, but the potential in it is an incredible force that can break the shell. That’s the power of life – unstoppable!

The Force

The human potential, the urge for life is often surrounded by envisioned walls too. Like the cherry seed!

We can not grow with these limitations. We have to tear down the existing walls to experience all the diversity of life. Maybe we feel unprotected and vulnerable at the beginning of this transformation, but the liberated potential will lift us to unimaginable heights.

Break your shell and unleash your potential!

Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.

(Khalil Gibran)
