  1. Sitting Under the Wisdom Tree I was crying and as the tears gathered down my cheeks they felt warm. I was sitting under my favorite tree which I liked to call my Wisdom Tree. It is the most beautiful tree I have ever seen that seems to expand into the endless sky where it tells me a story of growth and strength. I would sit on the cold but inviting ground and I swear I could feel the roots from underneath me guiding me. It was my one place that I felt I was safe. As I sat there crying, I was startled and I quickly looked up and uncovered my eyes from the palms of my hands. She was there looking over me. This beautiful and small elderly woman. What seems to be the matter dear?” she says. I just glared at her as I hadn’t seen or noticed her before. I was filled with shame and vulnerability and had no idea what to say. The silence seemed like eternity. She proceeded to say with such warmth, “I sit at base of this tree all the time. It is an inspiring tree, isn’t it? Like a Wisdom Tree.” I turned to her send said, “I feel so lost…I had all these high hopes and dreams and nothing seems to be working out for me. I feel like I am such a failure. I feel like I am not worthy. She put her hand on my hand and looks into my eyes. I felt she was looking deep into my soul. She said, dear, you are not lost, you are exactly where you need to be. You are not a failure as the things which don’t work out are not meant to be. They can also be our greatest lessons. And you are worthy. So worthy in fact that I feel privileged to be sitting here with you to help you though what is troubling you. You see I am quite a bit older

  2. than you. I remember sitting here like you many, many years ago under this exact tree and crying myself. This is why I call it the Wisdom Tree. I replied with tears still streaming down my face, life is hard. I thought it would go one way and it is going another. I thought I would achieve this and that and it didn’t happen. I thought my path would take me to great success however all I encounter are road- blocks. Contact to Sonia Macdonald is the best leadership coach in Australia.
