"FROM TINY ACORNS, MIGHTY OAKS GROW." ~ Proverb

I read this proverb the other day, and I can't stop thinking about it. "From tiny acorns, mighty oaks grow." How profound. I love it! As it sank into my brain, I realized this could go one of two ways. From something negative, a bad thing could happen. Or from something positive, a great thing could happen.

 From a simple tiny seed, mighty ideas, visions and growth can flourish. We are what we think about. If we believe it will happen, it will. When you think about it, a lot could go wrong in the acorn taking root and grow into that magnificent oak tree. It could have rotted before sprouting, a hungry animal could have had a snack, the weather and soil conditions could have been inhospitable for growth, humans could have cut down an unwanted sapling and on and on the reasons why that acorn might not have survived. Like that acorn, we human beings face countless adversities that could prevent us from being a mighty oak.

I've always been a sucker for feel good stories. I fall for Tear-Jerkers all the time and I have been known to well up during Hallmark commercials or Making a Difference news stories. There are so many great stories of people who faced great adversities in their personal lives that believed in something that seemed impossible and went on to become mighty oaks. Are you one of those people? Do you know a story of someone who faced incredible odds but so strongly believed in their ability to achieve what they wanted that their story is worth being told? The Betterment Network would love to hear those stories and share them here on our blog.
