The aims of this flower essence:
One squanders oneself, has unclear objectives, is internally dissatisfied, as one cannot find one´s lifelong task.

Dr. Bach wrote:
Those who have ambitions to do something of prominence in life, who wish to have much experience, and to enjoy all that which is possible for them, to take life to the full. Their difficulty is to determine what occupation to follow; as although their ambitions are strong, they have no calling which appeals to them above all others. This may cause delay and dissatisfaction.     (The 12 Healers and other remedies, 1936)
