Let me share a short story...

Let me share a short story...



There were two men competing in a log chopping contest.



Two of the very best loggers were up against each other in a

competition to see who could chop the most logs the quickest.



Logger #1: Joe was a logger who was very strong and had a perfect

swing and was known for his incredible endurance.



Logger #2: Daniel was the second logger who was also very well

suited physically for the challenge, maybe not quite as strong as

Joe. But Daniel seemed to have a reputation to winning logging

contests (because he had a secret.)



The Contest between Joe and Daniel began as the crowd watched:



Joe seemed to strive for even, consistent swings to the wood, but

at a steady pace. Most noticeably was the fact that Joe had tremendous

endurance and did not need to even stop to rest at all during the

entire competition. He just chopped away and never needed to rest.



Daniel was quite impressive too. He labored at chopping those logs

with a very short, quick break every once in a while where he would

sit down and seemingly rest to catch his breath.



The contest finally ended with only one winner. That winner as it

turns out, was the second logger Daniel, who seemed to have the

habit of resting and taking breaks in between chopping sessions.



The first logger, Joe was completely puzzled.



Joe decided to ask Daniel just what his secret was.



Daniel smiled and replied, "Actually you probably did not notice

but at the same time I was resting, I was also sharpening my axe."



There is something to be said for taking a little break once in a

while to renew your mind and your skills. It nearly may feel like

resting may be out of the question. But that's when we usually need

it the most.

Hi Jason,

Thanks so much for sharing this story. I have often said that as important as having your nose to the grindstone is, it is equally important to step back every now and again to see the larger picture and refresh your creative juices.

Peace my friend!
