Alana and the Ravine

 One day, a young woman named Alana went hiking through the forest. She marveled at how the trees reached for the sky, their branches intertwined as if holding each other up. Beneath her feet, a tiny ravine meandered over rocks, flowing steadily despite its size.


As she walked, Alana stumbled on a fallen branch, feeling frustrated. She glanced at the ravine, still moving onward despite being split by obstacles in its path. “It doesn’t stop,” she thought. “It simply finds a way around.”


Alana sat by the ravine, reflecting on her own life. She often relied on others to tell her what to do, afraid she wasn’t capable on her own. But watching the ravine taught her something powerful  — It didn’t question its purpose or need external permission; it simply trusted its flow towards the larger river ahead..


From that day forward, Alana began to listen to her instincts. She built her confidence by tackling small challenges and learning from her setbacks, just like the ravine carved its way forward through the rocks. She realized self-reliance wasn’t about doing everything alone — it was about trusting her truth while remaining connected to the bigger world around her.
