Stand Strong

Do you feel like a marble being shaken up in a giant jar? Rapid changes can leave us frantic and frazzled. 

This is why nature is so important! Nature reveals every gift, story, and tool for the days, months, and years to come. 

Nature slows us down. We return to our senses and get out of our fast-moving mind that jumps to conclusions that may or may not be right. 

Nature brings stillness. A slow reflection, peace of mind. Even in nature's roar, there is a deep, profound simplicity. 

No matter howling winds from hurricanes, tornadoes, or winter blizzards. The mighty tree stands strong. 

The tree does not yell at Mother Nature. The tree knows its strength. The tree knows its trunk is strong. Trees adapt to the changing winds. 

Pine trees at the top of mountains can receive weekly onslaught of 70mph winds or more. These trees may look peculiar from the outside. Yet, when you take a few steps back, you’ll notice something dramatic. 

The tree branches only grow on one side. The side that does not receive the wind. Truly a remarkable sight to see. 

As our world evolves, find what keeps your core strong and strengthen it daily. From here, you adapt and weather anything life throws at you.
