Your Tree of Life and Its Infinite Potential

Some losses lead the way to victory

In an earlier post, I described life as though it were a card game. In this one, we get to talk about your life as though it were a tree.

For starters, have you ever crushed really hard on a guy or girl? Perhaps you made a move, but they rejected you?

What I want to help people realize today, is that sometimes, not getting what you want (in this case, a person) is a wonderful stroke of luck.

Think of your life as like a tree: In the beginning, there is only one timeline of you that exists, your tree trunk. But then, each and every single decision you make splits your life down one path, a branch.

Each branch on your tree represents every potential life you could’ve lived. The life in which you got that job. The life in which you didn’t change schools. The life in which you kept those friends.

There are an infinite number of lives you could’ve lived, but you’ll only ever know the one you’re currently living. This is the branch you’re on.
