Where we come from does not define us, but the places we decide to stay and develop in. Sometimes the land we are given may get dry or does not provide the right space to reach our highest potential. We owe it to ourselves to find the right growing area for us, in each different phase of life. To look for the people, experiences and surroundings that do good to us as individuals, as humans. These are the places that provide water for our seeds to grow and enrichen the soil for us to develop. When we land in a spot that sustains us, gives a sense of belonging, understanding and pushes forward, it is a place to stay. Thus, take joy from the hurdles and options we are given in life and the encounters we get to make. When we react to changes like rhythm shifts in a dance, our roots become resilient and adjustable for many different weathers.
