What’s something you’ve learned from nature?

‍

I recently posed this question in my Instagram story and a number of the replies I received made me pause and think. I’ve been taught so much from Mother Nature myself, so I appreciated reading through different perspectives and making note of how I can apply the lessons others have learned to my own life. I thought I’d share some of my favorite responses because they were too lovely to keep to myself.

I’ve learned many things from nature, but lately the lesson that most resonates for me is that every tiny thing plays an important part in the overall mosaic. So on those days when it feels like I’m spinning my wheels, even the smallest action I take towards reaching my goals makes a difference.
