Take A Lesson

From The Tree

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 6 months ago 1 min read
tree roots go deep underground

“Be like a tree.

Stay grounded,

keep growing,

and know when to let go”

We can learn

some very valuable lessons

from Mother Nature and

'trees’ are just as valuable as ‘teaching aids’.

A tree

will put its roots down

and nothing can move it.

We need our values and beliefs

to be just as grounded.

Then we’ll be able

to 'weather any storm’

and

face any challenge.

Trees continue to

grow and adapt to their surroundings.

We need to do the same.

To be continuously

learning and adapting

to life around us.

Just like a tree blossoms in the summer,

so can we be happy and flourish in this life.

Like trees shed their dead leaves in the autumn,

so do we need to let go of things

that no longer ‘help’ us but which can, in fact, hinder us.

A tree will stand tall

during all of the seasons.

So must we be rooted deeply in our lives

and unmovable in our values and beliefs.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

    Love this mindset! After all, the biggest and strongest tree started out as a fragile seedling at one point!
