The Tree of Life is a symbol carrying significant meaning in both the religious and spiritual worlds.  Most commonly representing the interconnectedness of everything in the universe while symbolizing togetherness and provides a strong reminder that I am never alone. Simply seeing the Tree of Life, I’m reminded of my connectedness to everything that exists.

​

The Tree of Life also reminds me there is a strength I can access when I feel I need more than I can pull from within.  The connectedness with everything that exists blankets me with the added strength I need.  As a tree shows its strength, spreading its roots deep into the soil and stretching its limbs to the sky, so too can each of us show our strength.  We stay grounded while reaching for the sky and know that just like the tree, we too are strong and steady, ready for what the world offers.

​

The Tree of Life also demonstrates my individuality, as trees are all unique.  It reminds me my growth is special to me and may not look anyone else’s.  Just like the tree, I grow based on my experiences, tests, and interactions and I continue to be shaped into the human being I am.  Not every tree experiences the same storms in the same way, so too, my experiences are unique. 

  

All trees provide me with a unique, calming feeling as they demonstrate their strength while remaining flexible.  Just as the tree grows and stands strong in the midst of challenges, so too can each of us.  We can cultivate all of the success we desire from within!
