Question of the Day
If you could be any plant, what would you choose to be and why?
Thought of the Day
Good timber does not grow with ease, the stronger wind, the stronger trees…
Douglas Malloch, Good Timber
Life has a way of testing us, doesn’t it? The winds of change, the storms of adversity—they aren’t always welcome, but they are inevitable. As Douglas Malloch so eloquently reminds us, it’s the challenges we face that build our strength. Like a tree braving the elements, we grow taller, sturdier, and more resilient through the trials we endure.
Have you ever seen a tree on a windswept cliff? Its roots dig deep into the earth, anchoring it against the forces that threaten to topple it. Its branches may bend, but they rarely break. It’s a powerful metaphor for life. We often wish for easier paths, smoother roads, and gentler breezes. But when we look back, it’s the challenges that shaped us into who we are today. They forced us to dig deep, stand firm, and rise stronger.
So, the next time life throws a storm your way, think of yourself as that tree on the cliff—battered but unbroken, growing stronger with each passing gust.
Question of the Day:
If you could be any plant, what would you choose to be and why? 🌱
I love this question because it invites us to think about our own qualities and how they reflect the natural world. Maybe you’d be a towering oak, steady and dependable. Or a sunflower, always seeking the light. Perhaps you see yourself as a cactus, thriving in conditions others can’t. Every plant has its own unique way of surviving and thriving—and so do we.
Drop your answers in the comments. I can’t wait to hear what plant you’d choose to embody and why. 🌿
