I received this in my inbox this morning..... love it!
Daily message from the Universe...
Asking someone to change, is like pruning a tree: neither will ever be the same again.
Scarier still, is that you can't quite know in what new directions they'll grow.
But hey, it's still your call.

keeping with the tree metaphors:
i was told an ex that i thought that her trunk was getting pretty big.
she kicked me right in my twig.
(i saw it as a branch but she saw it as a twig. :)
I often wonder, tho, how much they apply to the real world with real people who have real imperfections.
Like, isn't compromise a form of change?
or consideration from someone?
I think at this age, 48, if and when I enter into a partnership again, we'll be 2 people with some pretty set habits, I mean, just in terms of toilet seats and toothpaste caps, nevermind, banking, tidiness, and communication styles. THere would have to be an incredible amount of consideration and compromise to get along, wouldnt there?
love it !
"If somebody wants to walk out of your life, let - them - go!
Some people are meant to come into your life for a lifetime, some for only a season and you got to know which is which. And you're always messing up when you mix those seasonal people up with lifetime expectations.
I put everybody that comes into my life in the category of a tree. Some people are like leaves on a tree. When the wind blows, they're over there... wind blow that way they over here... they're unstable. When the seasons change they wither and die, they're gone. That's alright. Most people are like that, they're not there to do anything but take from the tree and give shade every now and then. That's all they can do. But don't get mad at people like that, that's who they are. That's all they were put on this earth to be. A leaf.
Some people are like a branch on that tree. You have to be careful with those branches too, cause they'll fool you. They'll make you think they're a good friend and they're real strong but the minute you step out there on them, they'll break and leave you high and dry.
But if you find 2 or 3 people in your life that's like the roots at the bottom of that tree you are blessed. Those are the kind of people that aren't going nowhere. They aren't worried about being seen, nobody has to know that they know you, they don't have to know what they're doing for you but if those roots weren't there, that tree couldn't live.
A tree could have a hundred million branches but it only takes a few roots down at the bottom to make sure that tree gets everything it needs. When you get some roots, hold on to them but the rest of it... just let it go. Let folks go."
The video is available and has been posted here many times over the years, it is good and funny, at the same time. Gotta love Madea! If someone has the video clip handy, it's always worth a view.
