A collection of inspiring sunflower quotes to lift your spirits and bring happiness to your life.
Sunflowers are definitely a sight to see. Their beautiful and cheerful appearance can easily brighten our days and lighten our burdens.
Sunflowers are not only beautiful and pleasing to the eyes but they can also show and inspire us how to live our lives during difficult times.
What makes them so inspiring is the way they follow the sun throughout the day, and when night comes, in the absence of the sun, they return to face east in anticipation of the sunrise.
In a way, this can be compared to how we should be living our lives, We should always look for the good things in life. The small things that’ll make our days brighter every day.
And when we go through difficult times and dark seasons, we must remain hopeful and trust that the sun will rise again and brighter days are coming.

Which makes it ironic my favorite flower isn’t even indigenous to the British Isles, let alone Yorkshire. I don’t think there’s anything on this planet that more trumpets life that the sunflower. For me, 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.
