Like a Leaf

You know, like you just go where the wind takes you. You just drift in space and have no say in whatever direction the wind wishes to take you. Maybe for a time you will feel so light and free that you might enjoy the ride, but do you know that when the wind got tired of you, she just tosses you back to the ground where you wither and people just trample over you.

It is very sad that many people are just like that. Their life has no direction. They have no goal in life. They just exist but not really living. They are like a smoke that disappears without a trace.

I hope people will take the time to pause and reflect on where their life is heading. I see and read about many young people waste their life on alcohol, drugs and sex. They do anything out of peer pressure. They like to be in, they said, not realizing that it is the way out of this world that they’re heading. I hope, for their sake, that they stop before it’s too late.

And so, my advice to them is never be like a leaf that is blown by the wind, rather be like a leaf that clings to the bough no matter how strong the wind may be. Hang in there and keep growing. Live and be fruitful.
