From Mr. Jamie Griffin …

“A couple weeks ago I saw a picture of a massive tree that got blown over by the wind. The tree was huge! It probably would’ve taken a few people holding hands to measure all the way around it.

Looking closer at the tree I noticed something interesting. The roots were really thin and only a few feet deep. For a tree that size, the roots were way out of proportion and didn’t have the strength to hold the tree upright during a strong wind storm.

It got me thinking about how deep my roots are. How strong are my values and principles when I face tough and challenging circumstances?

What about you? How deep and strong are your roots? Finances and money can cause a ton of stress and anxiety.

How do respond in the face of that sort of pressure and adversity?”
