“Just like the lotus, we too have the ability to rise from the mud, bloom out of the darkness and radiate into the world”

In my simple mind of interpretation, this means that despite whatever struggles,problems or trials we are experiencing, even if you feel like you are in the darkest place right now, you always have the ability to shine and rise above it all. With every struggle you gain experience and wisdom that nobody can take away from you and you use that to persevere and be the best that you can be..and just like a lotus flower, you'll come out to be the most beautiful and best that you can ever be.
