Are you A Leaf, A Branch or the Root ?
There are three type of people in our lives.. People in our life are like parts of a tree.
We have the leaves, the branches and the roots.
Some people are like LEAVES on a tree, when the winds blow they go with it, when the
season changes, they change. They are like the temporary friendships, a summer fling
or connection, like leaves they are beautiful in the beginning but eventually they fall away.
When we think of this, we can remember the people that were leaves in our own lives we
can appreciate the lesson they bought, we can have gratitude for the moments, and detach
from the pain they cause they helped us to grow at that time.
The second type of people in our life are like BRANCHES
You have to be very careful with these, because they can often fool you. They will make
you think that they are a good friend. They are really strong, and they are there for you,
But the minute you step out on them, they can break and fall. We all had people who say
to us “You can depend on me”, “I am always there for you”, “i am just one call away” But
when you follow up with those promises,you will find that they were hollow. In our own lives
we know moments where we have been branches to others, and had branches in our lives.
Often we may have promised a lot, and not been able to live upto it, because of our own
short comings, and the same is true for others. This allows us to the opportunity to become
more honest with ourselves, and more honest with the people around us. We need to
surround ourselves with people who contribute to our overall emotional, mental, physical
well-being.
Then the third type of person are those that who are like the ROOTS
People who are like roots of a tree are permanent, Friendship who go through everything
go through hell and back and grow from it and still stand strong as friend worth keeping.
A good friend knows all the best stories, a best friend has been through them with you.
A tree in its lifetime can have millions of leaves, and hundreds of branches, but a few roots
down at the bottom to make sure it gets everything that it needs. When you get some roots,
hold onto the. But the rest of it, be okay to let it go.
Reflect on this, Who is leaf, a branch or a root in your life, and to who are you a leaf, a
branch or a root ? And remember, You cannot change the people around you but you can
change the people you choose to be around
