REST AND KEEP WALKING
Quote - 'If the axe is dull, and one does not sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength' - Ecclesiastes 10:10
Lost your 'cutting edge'?
You have to stop chopping to sharpen the axe - can't sharpen it while you're still chopping.
It will not grow sharper if you keep on using it.
It will only grow duller.
We stop cutting, we rest.
We recover our 'cutting edge.'
With less effort and more wisdom we find ourselves succeeding.
An Indian proverb says 'the bow that is always strung becomes slack.'
The best time to relax is before you have to.
If we make no time to rest, our mortal frame will force us to do so, somehow.
