Here we have examples of the various hurdles trees must overcome to continue growing taller, prouder, and

stronger. Obstacles don’t get in their way. Instead, the trees find ways to get by them and grow anyway. Nature is

full of examples of grit, like the trees in these pictures.

4. Look around outside. What other examples do you see?

There are a number of different examples we can follow in nature. Take a moment to observe what is around you

and learn from it. Look up, down and all directions. Think about all the other living things that surround us.

The rose found a tiny crack to grow through. Some of the trees seemed to grow right through the obstacles and at other

times around them. Taking the time to observe the natural world around us and grow from it is one way we can start to

look for solutions. Being open to growth, even if it seems crazy, is how we can participate in the beauty of nature.

Solutions are all around us, once we start to pay attention.
