This is a beautiful sentiment that captures the bittersweet feelings of parenting so well. I've always loved it but when I read it today I had entirely different thoughts about it.
A couple days ago I was answering questions on an interview and one of the audience members asked if they had what it takes to change their life. I talked to him about the 2 questions you need to ask yourself to know if you're ready for change. Reading this quote this morning dovetailed right into that and I realized that roots and wings are foundational in changing our lives.
We have to have roots. We have to know ourselves, our core values, our basic beliefs, our inner most desires. These are our roots. This is the part of us that never changes.
We must also give our selves wings. Wings are our ideas and dreams. Wings will let us soar, creating beautiful amazing things.
My wish for you today is that you have roots and wings.
