No Mud; no lotus flower

Without the mud, the Lotus flower cannot grow. Therefore embrace the mud. We all have to trudge through mud at some stage or other on our life path, and we also hold mud within us. This is called being human. To deny this or deny acknowledgement of our darker aspects, means that we are only kidding ourselves. When we kid ourselves we become stuck. And when we become stuck, we become lost. To take ownership of our most deepest fears, inadequacies, feelings of anger or even hatred is commendable because that is when true healing can begin. Its OK to feel these things, and its ok to ask for help with these things.
