THE MIGHTY OAK & WILLOW TREE
ALMA GERICKE INUKA FOUNDER
I recently read this inspiring fable about the mighty oak tree and a willow tree that grew and stood in the same field on a farm. For many years the willow tree envied the power and the strength that the oak tree had. One day a storm, with whipping winds and torrential rain, made its way through the field. After the storm passed, the willow tree noticed that the oak tree has fallen over. In a state of confusion, the willow tree asked the farmer what happened to the oak tree. The farmer explained to the willow tree that although the oak was mighty and solid, it was also rigid and inflexible, and when the winds were too much for it to resist, the oak tree collapsed under the pressure. The willow thought about herself for a minute. She realized that her ability to survive the storm was due to her flexibility and adaptability, as she could bend with the wind to weather the storm. This story is a perfect comparison to our experiences in life, especially during the current pandemic. To be human means that we will experience storms along the path of life. Life is just like that. We may not like it, but unfortunately, we cannot escape it. The moral of the story is to remember to weather the storm by being like the willow tree. Stay grounded. Connect with your roots. Bend before you break and keep growing.
No matter your circumstances, always remember:
• Believe that success can happen for you. All that is possible is possible for you. You must believe something will happen for you before you see it happening. Have faith in the process of getting there. • Become and be the highest version of yourself. Be in the driver’s seat of your own life. It is never too late to be what you might have been. Be PROUD of who you are. Don’t ever be afraid of your dreams. • Believe in yourself. There is ONLY one YOU. Your voice is important and your dreams matter. You playing small does not serve the world.
