"Timber"

I helped a friend fall some very large cottonwood trees in his yard today. I always feel a little sadness at seeing such a large tree fall. Though these large trees were beautiful, they were also a nuisance, they scattered branches and "cotton" all over the yard each summer. Also nothing else would grow around them because they used all the water and blocked the sunlight.

 Life is like that at times. For instance, if a corporation or a government becomes too large, they smother everything else around them, choking the life out of smaller entities. What is there in your life that is blocking out everything else? Take stock to see if there is an "elephant" in the room that no one wants to talk about. Remember, the first step to making corrections is to identify the problem. Once identified, then steps can be taken to progress in life.

Just a thought from the chain saw carpenter.
