The tallest oak tree in the forest isn’t the one that is protected from the storms and hidden from the sun, it’s the one that stands out in the open where it is forced to struggle against the winds and rains and scorching sun. The oak’s message is clear: when the elements threaten your safety and security, be ready to adapt and bend so you can survive. Great souls like ours are grown out of struggles, storms, and changing seasons. Be patient with the process; remember an oak tree comes out of an acorn- mighty things come from humble beginnings. Don’t dwell with your problem. Stand still and tall and face the difficulties life throws at you head-on with courage, and patience. Refuse to back down, the stronger the wind the stronger the tree.
