We are connected to where we come from, it remains our true means of identity. Just like a plant depends on its root to develop, we depend on our origin to shave out our source of strength. Knowing who we are will better place us in a position where we're unmoved by intimidating factors and keep our ground no matter the forces that are true to waver us.

A story is told of a lion that grew among sheep, it feeds like them and walked in the field just like them. At some point, the lion assumed itself to be a sheep until it saw its reflection in a stream was when it discovered there was something different about him. Just like the young lion, many have settled for something less, they've always thought themselves to be lesser than who they truly are, retrace your root.

It's not easy going back to our roots, but I assure you it is worth the stress and time. Self-discovery is a fuel that propels us to gather the momentum needed to survive.

Who are you? Where do you come from? And what's your identity?, Are questions that define a man. In our root is a strength to keep pushing, in our root is a mirror of strength to survive and the potency to uncover our potential. It doesn't matter how long it takes you, what matters is connecting to your root(origin, pedigree, and race).
