Nature provides our lives with food, water, air, and materials we need daily. It reminds us to take our time to heal from hardships and teaches us never to be in a hurry. Nature heals itself from all the disasters it has faced. We, people, should not be in a rush. Everybody has their own time; we need to be patient and work hard until we succeed, slowly but surely.
In nature, everything serves a purpose. Even the tiniest creatures have a purpose, but we humans sometimes do not know our role in this world. Thus, nature teaches us to be ourselves because we can still help others even with the minor things we do.
Many species in nature live in groups. It is also critical for us to work together rather than compete to be the most successful individually. When working together, things are more straightforward, and we can form a bond with one another.

The beauty of nature reminds us of our responsibilities to take care instead of abusing our environment. Men have gradually destroyed God’s creations. Air, land and water have become polluted. All of us are responsible for protecting the environment and fostering positive relationships with people, nature, and society at large.

Natural calamities are unavoidable, but they teach us to be alert and always be prepared. I have learned the importance of calmness in storms. When faced with a devastating challenge, I gain strength, resilience, hope, and courage to rebuild my life. Troubles, failures and other storms of life are countless and unpredictable, but one thing is true, as situations change, so can we.

Nature teaches us how to love and care. In order to prevent any harm to our loved ones, we will take good care of them. It is the same for nature too.

As a lover of nature, I am always enchanted by its beauty. As a result, I feel peaceful and am able to reduce my work-related stress. Mountain climbing is one of my ways of enjoying nature. I feel closer to God at the top of the mountains. I can communicate with him as I meditate on his Words.

The trees and plants around us live and thrive in the simplicity of God’s abundant grace through the sunshine and rain that showers them. We can learn a lot from them. Nature teaches us to depend more on God rather than entirely relying on our abilities. We need God in order for us to flourish. Life without God is like living without sunshine or rain.

If we sit quietly and observe nature, we will know how to use our senses. Sensory awareness is one of the biggest lessons I have ever learned from nature. Since I was sixteen years old, I have loved mountain climbing, watching sunrises and sunsets. It increases my overall awareness as I am surrounded by nature.

Despite my failures and troubles caused by natural calamities, pandemics, and other disasters, I look up to the rising sun and feel encouraged to start anew and look forward to a brighter future.
