Understanding the three types of people in your life - Leaf, Branch, and Root - empowers you to appreciate each relationship for what it is.

LEAF PEOPLE These are people who come into your life just for a season. You can’t depend on them because they are weak. They only come to take what they want, but if the wind comes they will leave. You need to be careful of these people because they love you when things are okay, but when the wind comes they will leave you.

BRANCH PEOPLE They are strong, but you need to be careful with them too. They break away when life becomes tough and they can’t handle too much weight. They may stay with you in some seasons, but they will go when it becomes harder.

ROOT PEOPLE: These people are very important because they don’t do things to be seen. They are supportive even if you go through a difficult time they will water you and they are not moved by your position they just love you like that … It’s not all people you meet or are your friends, that will stay with you. Only the root type of people will stay no matter the season.

The moral of the story: Remember, not everyone who enters your life is meant to stay permanently. Therefore, never make permanent decisions with temporary people. It may affect you big time in the future. While leaf people bring temporary joy, and branch people offer stability, it's the root people who anchor you through life's ups and downs.
