                                         Advice from a Tree

                             •  stand tall and proud

                             •  sink your roots into the earth
                            
                            •  be content with your natural beauty

                             •  go out on a limb 

                             •  drink plenty of water

                             •  enjoy the view

                                                                ~ Ilan Shamir ~

Advice I would add to the list -  shake off troubles 

What advice would you add?

    Don't pay attention to stuff caught in your hair? Seriously, I would have to say "spread your branches and give comfort where you can"

    The tree has to grow where it is planted...so I guess be content in your situation!

    All the additions are great. Maybe something about strong roots are important.

    Thank you for quoting my poem. It is wonderful to see it being shared and enjoyed by many. I would add: It's ok to be a little "sappy"! We need lightness these days for sure. Regards, Ilan Shamir
