Peter Sorgenfrei reflects on an African proverb about deep roots and resilience. The idea: if you're grounded in yourself and your relationships, you can weather life's storms without breaking.
There's an African proverb that goes, when the roots are deep, there is no need to fear the wind. I think we can recognize that in our regular life, right? If our foundation is strong, if we feel grounded and calm, then whatever comes at us, we don't have to fear. We don't have to fear the wind. It's a reminder to think about that foundation and make sure that you are indeed on strong footing, that your roots are deep. You're grounded with yourself, with your relationships, because then whatever else happens, you'll be able to weather just like the wind.
