When you feel down, look to the trees.
A tree has withstood many hardships over the course of its life. Droughts, Blizzards, Storms, Strong Winds, Pests, sometimes illness, sometimes fire.
It has lost branches, some big and some small.
It sheds its leaves and takes a break.
Only to begin anew!
Sometimes these trees do this for hundreds of years, occasionally a thousand!! Trees can go through all of this, and thrive still, and even care for others (birds, animals, plant life)
A tree knows how to over come what life throws at it. Without thinking.
We have the power of mind and spirit. You can overcome anything life throws at you. You lose a branch? It’s okay, more will grow.
Shed your past like leaves in autumn, and give yourself a new start after taking a break you need.
Remind yourself you are tall and strong like the trees. You can withstand anything. It may seem hopeless sometimes but you will come back. You will thrive.
As powerful as our mind can be in us overcoming anything it can also be your downfall. Stay in control, just be. Be a tree.
Life is beautiful, and though there are storms and extreme weather, you can prevail through the darkest of times.
Having a strong root system can also help you withstand it all! Instead of roots through the earth, we have roots in family, friends and experience. Embrace it. Kick life’s ass and be the best you. You are a tree. An amazing piece of life.
