*A must read by Tyler Perry* WHAT KIND OF PERSON ARE YOU? I have this tree analogy when I think of people in my life, be it friends, family, acquaintances, employees, co-workers, whomever...They are all placed inside what I call my TREE TEST. It goes like this: LEAF PEOPLE Some people come into your life and they are like leaves on a tree. They are only there for a season. You cant depend or count on them because they are weak and only there to give you shade. Like leaves, they are there to take what they need and as soon as it gets cold or a wind blows in your life they are gone. You cant be angry at them, its just who they are. BRANCH PEOPLE There are some people who come into your life and they are like branches on a tree. They are stronger than leaves, but you have to be careful with them. They will stick around through most seasons, but if you go through a storm or two in your life its possible that you could lose them. Most times they break away when its tough. Although they are stronger than leaves, you have to test them out before you run out there and put all your weight on them. In most cases they cant handle too much weight. But again, you cant be mad with them, its just who they are. ROOT PEOPLE If you can find some people in your life who are like the roots of a tree then you have found something special. Like the roots of a tree, they are hard to find because they are not trying to be seen. Their only job is to hold you up and help you live a strong and healthy life. If you thrive, they are happy. They stay low key and dont let the world know that they are there. And if you go through an awful storm they will hold you up. Their job is to hold you up, come what may, and to nourish you, feed you and water you. Just as a tree has many limbs and many leaves, there are few roots. Look at your own life. How many leaves, branches and roots do you have? What are you in other peoples lives? THANK GOD FOR YOUR ROOTS!
