The analogy of three types of people.
The 1st type: he talks about leaf people.
The 2nd branch people.
And the 3rd root people.
1. According to mister berry some people come into your life and they are like leaves on a
tree, they only there for a season. You can’t depend on them or count on them
because they are weak and only there to give you a 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’re gone. You can’t be angry at them, it’s just who they are.
2. The 2nd type of people: 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 it's possible that you could lose them. Most times they break away when it's 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 can’t handle too much weight. But again, you can't be mad with them, it's
just who they are.
3. The final type of people 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 strong
and healthy life. If you thrived they are happy for you. They stay low key and
don't 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 a few roots.
Look at your own life.
How many leaves, branches and roots do you have?
What are you in other people's lives?
You may want to call them today or send them a massage just to thank them for
being roots in your life.
