The tale of the 2 wood choppers
There were 2 wood choppers. Each took one side of the forest and kept working to chop the trees down
1 of them worked continuously
The other stopped every hour for 15 minutes
At the end of day they looked at whose pile was largest
The one who stopped every 15 minutes had a much larger pile
The first wood chopper asked the other
” how is this even possible, when I worked so hard and you took 15 minute breaks every hour ?”
The other wood chopper replied
” it was because when I was resting I was sharpening my axe”
The moral of the story is that when we give ourselves time to pause, reflect and simply BE we are not only innovative, but creative.
We allow for the essence of who we are to come forth.
We give ourselves permission to grow in the pause and evolve
REST is not laziness
REST is HONORING that which we need to take to the next level
From someone who lived his life at 200mph, believe me that the rest moments are vital for spiritual, mental, physical health and well being
Use that rest to MEDITATE, SELF CARE, SELF REFLECTION and UNDERSTANDING
It will SERVE you well to improve your longevity
Just BE
Allow the universe to own through you and not hinder it
Every great symphony has a pause in the music… experience it
We are human BEings, not human DOings
Your powerful ally
