Any walk-through nature showcase its adaptation skills. Take a close look at this picture.  

The tree did not blame the rock for getting in the way. The tree did not shame the moss for not providing ample space for growth. The tree handled the obstacle and found its natural way.  

Sometimes we need to keep going. We are headed in the right direction. Life, relationships, and our careers are never in a straight line.

A tree began to grow through moss-covered rock. The roots began to grow through cracks in the rock and literally on the outside, all the way down until more fertile soil and stability were found.  

Without obstacles, we never grow and learn new ways of being, growing, and living.  

The tree found solid ground despite all the unusual conditions it faced. The roots weaved around and created a web deep into the earth.  

The tree is simple. The tree moved in a way that connected the core ingredients it required for sustainability, soil and water.  

Note, the tree didn't try to convince the squirrel of its needs. The tree did not get angry at the rock for being in the way and not having what it needed.  

Embrace obstacles and let them show opportunity for growth. Your true character will emerge.  

What are your core ingredients that support a solid foundation? Will you say no to everything else that does not support your core?  

What can you simplify so that your foundation is super solid and unbreakable?
