Lessons from Sunflowers

Helen Mirren’s quote highlights how sunflowers symbolize life by following the sun throughout the day. She finds this trait admirable because sunflowers always seek out light, no matter how weak. This serves as a lesson for us to always look for positivity and keep moving towards the light in our lives.

"I don’t think there’s anything on this planet that more trumpets life than the sunflower. That’s because of the reason behind its name. Not because it looks like the sun but because it follows the sun. During the course of the day, the head tracks the journey of the sun across the sky. A satellite dish for sunshine. Wherever light is, no matter how weak, these flowers will find it. And that’s such an admirable thing. And such a lesson in life.” – Helen Mirren
