Grow like a Tree

Trees are an amazing form of life. They relentlessly grow upward into the air. They do not make noise. They are quite. They do not hunt. They do not roam. They know that they start with everything that they need to succeed.

Trees just focus on one thing, growing up to the light. They build a root system to keep them attached to the ground, to suck up the nutrients and water needed to grow even higher. Grounded, never forgetting their source.

Because of this focus, they grow tall. They grow large. An oak tree in a field is a powerful sight. Standing tall, perhaps shading close to an acre of ground with its wide limbs that slowly and methodically branch into soft green leaves.

A tree without focus is a bush. Bushes are small and low to the ground. They branch out every which way. They do not try to grow up. Their limbs do not have an apparent plan or goal. Here, there, everywhere.

Be a tree. Find your source. Find your light. Grow to it.
