Adversity Quotes: “Storms make trees take deeper root.” ~David McDonald
Life presents us with some challenges, doesn’t it? I’ve dealt with many obstacles in my life and I can tell you – I’ve always responded and come out stronger for it. I bet you have too. I’m not saying we never take a beating as we travel through, but making it through counts for ALOT!!!!!!!!! Pat yourself on the back for this.
Now that we know that storms will come, the question is how to make it through? Let me ask you a question. Have you ever witnessed a tree in a storm with extremely strong wind and rain? I’ve seen some trees violently sway but hold firm – others snapped under the pressure and toppled over. Even still, the trees that survive suffer damage. It doesn’t sound promising does it? However, as time goes on, new branches, leaves, and bark surface – much more beautiful that what it replaced. This often happens with us as well.
Adversity quotes like this one remind us that no matter what we are going through, we can overcome and find ourselves better off in the long run. It can be tough to believe this as you are going through; however, it is something you have to look forward to. So take root – whatever you are dealing with dig deep within yourself. Focus on what can you learn from your circumstances and use it for your betterment. You can do it. When all is said and done, you will have valuable experience under your belt that will help you as you face new challenges and obstacles.
