It was a seedling when Columbus landed at San Salvador, and half grown when the pilgrims settled at Plymouth.<\/p>\n<p>During the course of its 400 years of life, lightning struck it 14 times! And the countless avalanches and storms of four centuries thundered past it. It survived them all.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, however, an army of beetles attacked the tree and leveled it to the ground. The insects ate their way through the bark and gradually destroyed the inner strength of the tree by their tiny but incessant attacks.<\/p>\n<p>A forest giant, which age had not withered, nor lightning blasted, nor storms subdued, fell at last.\u00a0 Beetles so small that you could crush them between your fingers caused it to finally come down.<\/p>\n<p>There is a parallel in this story that should be a warning to you. Most of us can survive times of crisis. We summon the strength of faith and resolve for almost any battle we face head on. Whether it is in our professional or personal lives, we often overcome great challenges. It is the small things like jealousy, anger, resentment, pettiness, and negativity that eat us from the inside and bring about our downfall.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike a giant tree, we can identify and fight those moral or ethical insects. But we must be constantly on guard.<\/p>\n<p>Get rid of your anger! Get rid of your jealousy.\u00a0 End your resentment!\u00a0 Do not be petty or negative.\u00a0 Instead, replace these negative traits with positive ones.\u00a0 Replace anger with kindness, jealousy with trusting love, pettiness and negativity with positive thoughts and actions.<\/p>\n<p>These small things lead to depression and anxiety.\u00a0 They can also ruin your life.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Let the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/encouraging\" slimstat=\"5\">encouraging words<\/a>\u00a0in these\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/river\" slimstat=\"5\">near\u00a0a\u00a0river<\/a>\u00a0posts help you<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">soar like an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\" slimstat=\"5\">eagle<\/a>\u00a0above life\u2019s storms.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobbiejrae.com\/home\/please-read-sad-bj-rae-eagle-encouraging-words\/\">Feeling sad?<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobbiejrae.com\/home\/keeping-promise-bj-rae-eagle-encouraging-words\/\">Keep promises!<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">YOU CAN GO ON!<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">A vital survival tip&#8230;<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">If you enjoyed this post, remember that BJ writes\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/children\" data-slimstat=\"5\">children\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/book\" data-slimstat=\"5\">books<\/a>.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Her\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/encouraging\" slimstat=\"5\">encouraging<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dictionary.com\/browse\/children\" data-slimstat=\"5\">children\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\" slimstat=\"5\">eagle<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><u><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/river\" slimstat=\"5\">near\u00a0a\u00a0river<\/a><\/u>\u00a0<u><\/u>common core\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.collinsdictionary.com\/dictionary\/english\/reading-book\" data-slimstat=\"5\">reading book<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">is available on\u00a0Amazon.com\u00a0and\u00a0Barnesandnoble.com.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Buy BJ\u2019s\u00a0<u><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/river\" slimstat=\"5\">near\u00a0a\u00a0river<\/a><\/u>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/encouraging\" slimstat=\"5\">encouraging\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/eagle\" slimstat=\"5\">eagle\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.collinsdictionary.com\/dictionary\/english\/reading-book\" data-slimstat=\"5\">reading book<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">for a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/us\/dictionary\/english\/child\" slimstat=\"5\">child<\/a>\u00a0you care about today!<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is the small things that eventually ruin your life.
