The little girl has gotten an important part of the lotus flower story right but there is even more to it. Yes, finding love and righteousness despite our nature and history is a noble goal. But how exactly do we do it? The trick is to be aware of your upbringing, to be able to see the beauty in both, the murky water as well as the lotus flower. It is the package deal that gives us the beauty, just as the shade and light come as one. So fall in love with the entire picture, don't just zoom into the beautiful flower. Stop aiming to be the Daughter of God and have a shot of actually becoming Her; stop beating yourself up over your desires, worries and drives, and life will rush to your side and allow you to express yourself in a way becoming of the Daughter of God while still respecting your roots.
To cut a long story short, stop trying to be a lotus flower swimming in an infinity pool in a luxury resort - they don't grow there. Accept your roots and the environment you are in and recognize the beautiful flower that you are. Without your roots you wouldn't be here, and given that you are special, your roots must be special. When you dare to look at the picture in its entirety you will find that life is beautiful as is. That's the message of the lotus flower and it is a very uplifting one.
