Thích Nhất Hạnh's saying "no mud, no lotus" means beautiful growth can't happen without messy circumstances. When life feels chaotic, it may be signaling something good is about to bloom.

I'm gonna butcher this name, but Thích Nhất Hạnh said, no mud, no lotus. And what the Vietnamese monk meant was, in order for something beautiful to grow, there has to be something which is less pleasant. There has to be some mud. There has to be something that's maybe dark and brown in your life as a corollary, right? So just think about that. If, uh, as life gets a little bit messy, as life gets a little bit muddy, it's because a lotus or something beautiful is about to grow.
