I recently read an article about a biodome that was created in the Arizona desert. The ideal environment was created for every plant and organism to thrive. However, they noticed that the trees would only get to a certain height before falling over. What they realized was missing was wind, the resistance trees need to thicken their bark and deepen their roots.
This is a reminder for us to seek not only ideal environments and situations but to embrace the challenges and resistance that strengthen us.
There’s a lesson in every challenge, sometimes it can be as simple as we overcame it and survived.
