You think you must have something to say. You are allowed to not be finished thinking.

Nobody Remembers That You Bent Ep10

The bamboo does not ask permission to bend in the storm. It bends. It does not break. Nobody remembers that it bent. They only remember it is still standing.

Let Them Underestimate You Ep11

Let them underestimate you. It is a very comfortable place to build from. The bamboo does not rush. The bamboo simply grows.

The bamboo split in half last week. A storm did it, not me. Some things breaking is not the end of your story. It is just weather.

Motivation Is the Wind | Forest Wisdom Ep13

You are waiting to feel motivated. I do not feel like growing today. I grow anyway.
