To Grow to Great Heights, You Must Plant Deep Roots

When you’re successful,
some people will be jealous, envious, malicious, and will try to tear you down.

I choose to focus on the light, over darkness.

I choose to focus on continued personal growth and excellence, over resentment and anger.

I choose to focus on having great character and a kind heart, over worrying about the actions and choices of others.

I choose to surround myself with amazing people who bring me up, and I also choose to walk away from things I won’t tolerate.

You see, I think of myself like a giant tree.

The higher I go in life, the deeper I must plant my roots.

To weather even the worst of storms,
these roots are actually my greatest asset.

So I know myself well, and I can say with quiet confidence
that I can handle the wind, the rain, and any storm you throw my way.

It will not stop me, and will only make me stronger.

I am unstoppable, because I decided I am.
