The Four Life Lessons I’ve Learned From Trees
Learn, adapt, grow, and repeat
Trees are solid, beautiful, and whimsical. They sway and bend in the wind, always standing strong in the face of adversity.
Humans are like a tree: Beautiful, full of life, and resilient.
I am only thirty-five years-old but I am an old soul. I had an amazing childhood (thanks ma and daddy) but I have weathered many storms later in life.
From domestic abuse to chronic illness, these life experiences have made me who I am today. Who am I? I’m not completely sure, but I know I’m on my way to finding out the answer to this question.
I told my therapist yesterday that I felt like thin glass that would break after my recent diagnosis of Fibromyalgia.
She told me I was one of the strongest women she had encountered in her life. I was shocked.
I always feel weak and this amazing woman thought I was not only strong but one of the strongest people she knows.
This is a reminder that how we see ourselves is very different from how others see us.
If you feel weak because of adversity remember: There is someone watching you who thinks you are the strongest person they have ever known.
