Set Foundations: So Shall The Tree Grow
Just like a young tree bends toward the light, we grow in the direction of our choices. The small actions you take every day, what you think, say and do, become the foundation of your future self.
"Re-direct your energy towards growth, positivity and purpose."
If your life feels out of alignment, the good news is that you can “re-bend” the twig at any time. Re-direct your energy towards growth, positivity and purpose.
Start small and let those choices take root.
🎧 Listen to episode 2 (season 1) on the podcast to discover how letting go of who you were, allows you to be free today to embrace growth in the right direction, listen here.
Summary
Your future isn’t fixed – it’s formed by the habits you nurture yesterday and today.
Growth happens when you take control of your direction and choose progress, even if you only take small steps at first.
Here are a couple of key takeaways I believe this quote can inspire in all of us:
Early habits shape long-term outcomes – the sooner you start, the more time you have to shape yours.
You can always re-align and grow in a new direction – it’s never too late to become what you might be.
Consistent, positive actions, lead to lasting change – just keep going.
