A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because its trust is not in the branch, but in its own wings 🌿🕊️

Think about that for a moment. The bird doesn’t live in constant fear of the branch snapping beneath it. Why? Because its survival, its ability to soar, doesn’t depend on the branch at all, it depends on the wings it has been given and the strength it has built

Life works the same way for us. Too often, we put our trust in fragile “branches”: a job title, a relationship, money in the bank, the opinions of others, or even the illusion of stability. But branches can break without warning. Companies shut down, people change, money disappears, and the world can shift in an instant. If your sense of peace and security is tied only to those external things, you’ll always live with fear

But if your trust is rooted in your own wings, your faith, your character, your skills, your resilience, your ability to adapt and rise again, then no broken branch can stop you. You’ll grieve, you’ll stumble, but you’ll never be powerless. Because you’ll know you can fly again

So, instead of praying for branches to never break, strengthen your wings. Learn, grow, heal, build your character, deepen your faith, and sharpen your resilience. That way, no matter what life takes away, you’ll always have the courage and ability to take flight again

✨ Trust your wings more than the branch. Because real freedom begins when you know you can soar, no matter what breaks beneath you 💙
