Take Time To Sharpen Your Skills
There was once a Lumberjack competition between a young arrogant lumberjack and an old and quiet man. The contest began and the young man was determined to win on speed and agility.
As the day passed by, he grew more and more confident that he would win, noticing that the old man had to frequently stop and take breaks.
At the end of the competition, the young man was shocked to learn that the old man had won by a huge margin of cutting down 1/3 MORE trees than the young man. The young man walked over to the old man and asked, “How did you do it? You took so many breaks and I didn’t even stop once!”.
The wise old man replied, “Son, what you don’t understand is that on those breaks, in which you thought I was resting, I was actually sharpening my ax! A well-sharpened ax makes for a LOT less work as it makes the trees fall fast!”
Are you giving time to “sharpen your ax”? Take time to make sure that you are rested, sharp and on point for the destiny set before you!
