My grandma once told me a story of how we prevent growth if we are not grounded and willing to turn inward in demanding situations. She explained this concept with flora and fauna, the environment that surrounded us while planting a Yellowwood tree.

She told me that our growth could be compared to the growth of trees. They go through many seasons, some more pleasant than others, but each timeframe serves a purpose. For example, we must go through winter and shed our leaves. This may be painful and look beyond repair, but this is how we allow ourselves to turn inward to grow. She said that some of us are so scared to go through a winter that we try to uproot ourselves in the hopes of finding more summer. In doing this, you deprive yourself of growing into a tall majestic tree that lasts a lifetime.

Looking back, I can remember the times I felt removed from the cycles of life. I felt overwhelmed by my environment and that any moment the winds of change were going to take me down. Only until I discovered I could create one, much like a tree, where I could turn to my inner strength and ground myself, no matter the demands of the outside world.

No seed asks why they are planted in their spot. They do not ask if they are worthy of growing or compare themselves to the next. No, it taps into its natural intelligence, its essence, inner strength, and then? It grows.
