I want to harness my inner BAMBOO!
Did you know the wood of bamboo is stronger than steel and concrete? This STRENGTH allows bamboo to stand up straight even though it is a thin reed.
Bamboo is also considered a grass, therefore its root system grows horizontally through the dirt, intertwining with the roots around it. Since the roots spread out rather than growing straight down, bamboo holds the soil together. This keeps bamboo from being uprooted during a storm.
When we stand upright and defend our principles, our inner strength will become stronger and stronger with each passing day. When our roots are INTERCONNECTED, we can draw on the strength of good friends and family to help us weather any of life trials. Our strength can even strengthen the world around us, helping our communities endure the test of time.
However, if you rely only on strength, you will eventually splinter and break.
Bamboo’s FLEXIBILITY allows it to bend with the wind as a storm rages. No matter what direction the wind is coming from, bamboo is able to adapt. It’s strong enough to remain grounded while flexible enough not to break from the pressure.
Let’s harness our inner bamboo together 💕
