Being More Like a Tree

Life can throw some hard punches to all of us at times. But thorough all the storms one important lesson I have learned, among many, is to roll with it. This quote I have shared about bending like a tree is powerful. Think about it. If we don’t let things bother us, especially those things we cannot change, like is much simpler. Yes it is easy to say and not so easy to do. But you have to start somewhere. Why not today. Keep growing every single day of your life. Connect with your roots. Turn over a new leaf. Bend before you break. Enjoy your unique beauty. 

We all must have the hope of a better tomorrow no matter what yesterday or today brings.

  1. You’re so correct; life definitely is easier when we learn to go with the flow of things.

    I used to be a worrier and that got me nowhere, even gave me heartaches most of the time. Now I have learned to take things easy and I’m happier for it.

  2. I vaguely remember writing an essay in high school English class comparing an oak tree with a poplar in terms of how we should bend rather than break, and the teacher who didn’t know much about trees liked the comparison, but the science behind it turned out to be wrong. Apparently at a given wind speed all trees with the possible exception of certain species of palm break and or uproot at about the same rate. One article I just read said the health of the tree is the biggest factor. But it is a fun thought model.

  3. A lot of people underestimate the power of the positive quotes. However, I love them! They always bring me strength and remind me how beautiful the life is, no matter the bad days! I loved your post!! Keep that attitude! <3

  4. Many smart people have said many smart things.
    We are quoting that now.
    But the question arises as to how much we are really prepared to adopt some of them for our spiritual development and for the benefit of us.

    • I am ready Robin. These quotes help me in many areas of my life. I have lost hope in the past and am looking for ways to keep m going. These types of quotes do just that for me. Reminders that life still matters. We can all make it if we try, never give up.
