Are you Living life with a dull axe?

Nov 10, 2013 Features / Columnists, Food For Thought

 

 

 

There’s a story about two lumberjacks. They were out chopping down trees. One said, “I’m going to take a break and go sharpen my axe.”

The other said, “I don’t have time to do that. I’ve got too much work to do.”

He kept chopping and chopping.

The first man went and sharpened his axe. He came back three hours later and chopped down twice as many trees as the man with the dull axe, and he did it in half the time.

Friend, sometimes you need to take a break and “sharpen your axe,” so to speak. In other words, take time to sharpen your skills, increase your ability, and invest in developing your gifts and talents.

If you’ll sharpen your skills, you’ll get more done in less time.

If you’ll sharpen your skills, you may not have to work so hard. Whether you’re a teacher, a mechanic, a banker or a doctor, don’t settle where you are and just coast off of what you’ve already learned.

Stir up what the Creator has placed within you and get better at it.

This is a call to action! There are amazing things in your future. The Creator has shifted things in your favour.

Now, the Creator is looking for people who are prepared, people who are taking steps to grow, people who are serious about fulfilling their destiny. (By Joel Osteen)
