THE TREES

"When i was younger my parents would always tell me " things in life fall under seasons, some short some so long they appear they will last a life time." Well as i get older im noticing them to be more and more right, even to the point where things in life are compared to the trees within a season. Confused? well let me explain.

Through life we have people and situations come up some shade us and are there for our convenience but at the end of the day we have no use for them, others are life leaves, they look pretty and add to the tree but sooner or later with the season change they tend to wither and die, then there are the branches yeah they may appear strong but the reality is that when when you take a chance with them and you step out because they have said they were strong enough to handle the pressure, they break leaving you both hurt and potentially broken.

Finally there are people who are the roots, strong sturdy, you dont see a lot of the work that they do because they are underground but you know that they are caring for you even if the tree gets uprooted they go with you. These are the people though that it is hardest to find. Here recently a friend of mine told me about this analogy and it really made me start thinking about things in my own life people and situations. They also went on to tell me that even though it is a scary process to find out who those "root" people are, when i find them and i tend to things in the proper ways that my tree in life will grow stronger and healthier.

NOW. Im not saying that the other people should be ignored or are bad or cant help us grow in life im just saying that maybe we need to evaluate ourselves and take a pair of pruning sheers with us in life every once in a while for good measure."
