Have you ever seen a bird collapse when a branch snaps?
No.
Because the bird was never relying on the branch.
It was relying on its ability to fly.

Life will always test the things we stand on –
our jobs,
our relationships,
our reputation,
our circumstances.
These are branches.
They feel solid.

Until they aren’t.
Markets shift.
Roles change.
Teams evolve.
Circumstances turn overnight.

If your confidence is built only on stability,
uncertainty will unsettle you.

But if it is built on capability –
your skills,
your experience,
your resilience,
your ability to adapt –
then change becomes progress, not panic.

What truly belongs to you is your wings.

Too many people depend on the branch –
the title,
the approval,
the comfort of familiarity,
and forget they were built to fly, not cling.

When something beneath you gives way,
it isn’t life being unfair.
It is life reminding you what you carry.

True strength is not measured when everything is steady.
It is revealed when stability is removed.
And if you have learned to trust yourself,
you won’t be afraid of the fall.

Because a fall is not the end.
It is practice.
It is preparation.
It is growth in motion.

So trust your wings.
You were never meant to just hold on.
You were meant to soar.
