If you stop and think about how we wait for others to give us permission to cry, get angry or show any emotional release, you would see how much of yourself is fragmented. It might not even be something you are consciously aware of, but we all do it. We all look for those facial expressions, body language and we wait to hear it’s ok or not.

Nature doesn’t wait or ask anyone for permission, not the sky, not the dirt it is rooted in or the air that nourishes it; it just does its thing whether we like it or not.

If it wants to shake, rattle and roll it does whenever the urge happens, if it wants to rain, snow and blow, yep. It doesn’t that too.

Trees are sturdy, and if you look at the beauty, the essence is very human in its form.

The next time you want to break down and break through. Do it, nobody will ever understand YOUR trials and Tribs, only you know what is happening within.

Be like a tree, stand tall, strong and rooted in nature, of who you are magnificent.

“This life is yours. Take power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take power to make your life happy.” ~ Susan Polis Schutz
