Was watching the weather channel not long ago and saw old footage of a hurricane ripping through South Florida…
Immediately my attention was drawn and fixated on two things…
The reporter dude who looked like he was about to fly away in the 150 mph winds and palm tree in the background that was completely bent over and looked like it was either about to snap or just pick up the reporter with its leaves and slingshot him into the Atlantic Ocean.
Living 5 winters in the Dominican Republic, I saw some of the nastiest storms rip through that island and it’s there that I learned about the stamina, strength and durability of one of the most badass trees gracing our planet…
The thing about the Palm is that the more it bends and the more it is stressed, the stronger the root system grows.
Just like a palm tree, we will be constantly tested by powerful external factors that may force us to adapt in ways we may have not even realized were possible…
Yet, so long as we let these trials continue to strengthen our root system, just like the palm, we may bend and we might even huck a reporter into the ocean, but you bet your ass…
WE WILL NOT BREAK.
