Bees do not waste their time explaining to flies that honey is better than shit.

Bees are selective. You won’t find them just anywhere; when you do, it’s because something valuable is nearby—whether it's water, flowers, or anything else that offers real nourishment. They know exactly what they’re after and where to invest their time and energy.

Flies, on the other hand, are everywhere. They thrive in dirty, chaotic environments, drawn to anything rotten or unpleasant. It doesn’t take much to attract a fly—just leave something spoiled out, and there they are.

The same applies to people. You can choose to be a bee, drawn to growth, value, and positive energy, or you can be a fly, chasing after things that are beneath your potential, settling for what's easily accessible but ultimately worthless.

At the core, it’s about value: what you seek, how you spend your time, and the environment you allow yourself to thrive in. Bees don’t lower their standards. They move with purpose and direction, constantly working towards creating something sweet and lasting. Flies? They simply exist, reacting to whatever’s out there, without any sense of discernment.

But here's the key: value isn't just about what you have or where you are, but about what you choose to focus on and pursue. If you live like a bee, you're selective about your surroundings, your company, and your goals. You don’t waste time in negative environments or with people who don’t understand your worth. Instead, you move toward what nurtures you, what elevates your purpose, and what brings you closer to success—whether it’s personal growth, meaningful connections, or lasting achievements.

Flies, on the other hand, settle for anything. They’re driven by quick fixes, drawn to environments that provide instant gratification but nothing of substance. They never question their surroundings, and in the end, they never rise above the low standards they’ve accepted.

So, ask yourself: Are you a bee or a fly?

Being a bee means committing to excellence and purpose. It’s about striving for what adds value to your life and recognizing that you are worthy of honey—not scraps. It means being conscious of the environments you place yourself in and ensuring that everything you do aligns with your true goals.

At the end of the day, it’s your choices that define you. Do you chase what’s convenient and fleeting, or do you seek out the rare, the valuable, and the enriching? Do you settle for what’s around you, or do you actively create an environment that fosters growth and fulfillment?

The difference between a bee and a fly is not just in where they go, but in why they go there. Be intentional with your life. Chase the honey, and don't worry about the flies—they’re not on your level.
