5 Lessons We Can Learn From Nature

Some of our great inventions and in-depth spiritual teachings are the result of a careful study of creation. Engineers, philosophers, and spiritual educators have looked to nature to find answers to life's questions and to solve its own problems.

Can you imagine life without Velcro ?! Thanks to the Swiss engineer Georges de Mestral, Velcro was invented in 1941 when he examined burrs attached to his dog's fur and clothes. Beneath the microscope, he saw burrs with tiny filaments that allowed them to cling to passing animals.

If we look at nature as a teacher, even a simple event like thunder can teach us that no matter how dark your sky, the sun will always be there, trying to break through the clouds. We should all write notes, the complete harmony of the natural world that works with it can teach us many important lessons such as:

1. THERE

Our ever-changing society has given us many ways to stay connected to the world around us. At the same time, this global network of communication and commerce has led to a breakdown of what really matters. Our minds are full of useless information and worries about our future and remorse.

When we look at the present, however, the burden of all that we have to do and the experience of the past melts away. There is only now and the present moment is all known nature.
It teaches us to be quiet, to relax, not to worry, to be present and not to care. The oak tree grows without concern, knowing that the universe is always supportive.

Like a bucket of water mixed with mud, we will not be at peace until we are there and motionless. If you let the water in the bucket stay, the mud will sink to the bottom. Get used to being present and the mud will sink, creating a clear and relaxed concept that you can see the world in a new light.

2. ACCEPTANCE

Luke 12:27 “Look at the lilies, how they grow. they do not toil, nor do they spin;

For some people, accepting the current situation may have negative connotations that may reflect thoughts of defeat, abandonment, failure to rise or despair. However, being receptive does not mean that we stop making plans or initiating positive changes. In spiritual matters, acceptance is a profound wisdom to submit to the life force, instead of resisting it.

When we accept what is right, we still see unpleasant situations and situations, but we stop calling them bad and avoid judging.

Taking action with a positive attitude without resisting the forces of nature will speed up the process and produce results that reflect that thought. Nature reveals itself in harmony and peace. Flowers do not need spinning or weaving because they always have what they need right now.

Even in times of drought, crops can thrive without difficulty. We can compare adoption to being caught in quick sand. If we pull hard, we sink, but if we give in to the situation we have the best chance of getting out.

3. PATIENCE

"Nature is not fast, yet everything is accomplished." Lawu Tzu

Related to the next lesson, patience is a quality that is often difficult to cultivate in our modern society. Immediate satisfaction is something we have become accustomed to whether we like it or not. From miracle pills, fast food, fast communication and data in our hands, simple modern things have made us impatient.

The lesson we learn from nature is to have faith that things can grow in spite of an unexpected natural cycle. Although we may not be able to control the environment, we can show patience and endurance in our journey.

The fruits of our labor will indeed be ripe if we are confident that our efforts will produce results. Forcing and managing things to get results quickly will create resistance and you will be working against the natural flow of life, instead of letting it help you.

Practice patience in your efforts, do not give up, and make sure that whatever you set your mind on will be accomplished at the right time.

4. PATIENCE

George Carlin put it very well: "I love it when a flower or a lump of grass grows in a crack in the concrete. It's an amazing hero." Overcoming impossible obstacles is a natural theme by nature. Life is good in some unforgivable places by following its natural instincts to live. Plants and animals accept and adapt to the conditions they face.

Similarly, we as individuals are facing various challenges and situations. How we respond to them builds character and strengthens discipline. Each retreat creates an opportunity for growth. For example, when a plant is pruned, its natural tendency is to grow stronger.

Similarly, every time something is "reduced" in your life, persevere in that event or situation knowing that you will grow even more in your next goal.

5. GROUP WORK

An excellent example of co-operation in the environment can be seen in the flying pattern of the V-shaped geese. I will summarize two of my favorite lessons about this strategy.
In flight V, the geese use an uplift (aerodynamic orientation that reduces air tension) that is formed when the herd flutters its wings. The herd can reach 70% greater flight distance than a single flying goose. We need to get used to this strategy in our lives and adapt to people who fly in the same direction, or have the same goal. Team pressure is much greater than flying alone.
