Success causes separation, separation feeds loss

 

Every effect comes from an upstream hidden cause.

The mighty river that feeds & floods the plains is replenished by tiny mountain streams.

 

We spend a lifetime working like machines, perspiring and proud. Executing activities and fighting consequences.

And smile at those who ask what drives me, how will my river swell. Will it feed me and my tribe or will it flood the plains and bring separation & loss.

Time to pause and ask, “before I sharpen the axe, what made me come to this tree with an axe in my hand.”

 

As is your deepest primal desire so is your distinction & success.

Be clear before you pick the axe.
