He appeared healthy and content…this beautiful heron standing at the edge of a pond.
I suspect life isn’t easy in the natural world…heat, cold, rain, snow, wind, predators, drought, so many challenges. Yet this beautiful creature seemed to be thriving.
And I had a wondering. Does he battle his way through life? Or does he gracefully flow with what comes his way?
I suspect animals don’t resist life’s challenges. They face them, adapt and change, and move forward.
Maybe this heron was thriving because he allowed the challenges to shape him and naturally strengthen him.
Perhaps accepting challenges as a natural part of life is the key…the key to thriving rather than merely surviving.
Something to ponder…inspired by a beautiful heron.
