Blossom: Know How Your Orange Smells

Blossom: Know How Your Orange Smells

During today’s Live Discussion, I issued a challenge—Blossom. I compared it to the simple yet powerful act of knowing what an orange smells like. Think about it—if your senses are intact, you’re obligated to recognize the scent of an orange, whether it’s fresh and ready or past its prime and rotten.

This concept directly ties to decision-making, wellness, and the pursuit of balance, peace, and joy. Just as you wouldn’t eat a spoiled orange, you shouldn’t carry rotten habits, relationships, or situations into your life. Instead, savor the ready oranges—the moments and opportunities that are ripe for growth—and prepare for the next harvest, the next season of blossoming.

Knowing how your orange smells means trusting your experiences. It means recognizing when it’s time to let go of what no longer serves you and leaning into what nourishes your well-being.

So, I challenge you—blossom. Be intentional. Trust your senses. Surround yourself with what’s ready, remove what’s rotten, and stay prepared for the next bloom. 'Smiles R Contagious' by #Learnedman
