About sharpening the saw...

Hello Friends,

I am a true believer and embrace the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. I’ve been refreshing my mind of late to the foundational principles. While all are important to the difference they make in your life when you follow and live them, my favourite one is ‘sharpen the saw’. When I first heard the words I was a bit baffled, yet I was drawn to understand its meaning.

'Sharpen the saw' is the very habit that enables all others to be engrained as part of your life. What I understand most about ‘sharpen the saw’ is the mental picture of sawing and sawing while becoming more tired yet not accomplishing the task. I love the concept that if we spend more time sharpening the saw, we can spend less time to realize the outcome. It’s a very simple yet profound principle. Until next time...
