Having found a cache of socks stuffed under the sofa, the ferrets are in high cotton. Socks are a hot commodity for them because they can be sniffed, cuddled, played with or tunneled in. Moertl's phrase for this card is, "You do the work, you reap the benefits." It amazes me how often we humans can't grasp this concept. We keep expecting to win the lottery, marry Superman or at least have someone tell us to take the month off and do whatever we want. My life changes when I start doing something different - the work that will bring the benefits. Frog suggests motion as well, underscoring the idea that passivity won't bring the outcome I desire. Dreaming and planning are not the same as doing; now is the time to take action.
An idea not coupled with action will never get any bigger than the brain cell it occupied.
―Arnold Glasow
Makes me think of the Tony Robbins quote I copied to my phone yesterday.
ReplyDelete"It's not about achieving the goal. It's about who you have to become in order to achieve the goal. The juice is in the growth."
Carolyn's quote, I'm relistening to the series Gunslinger who is doomed to repeat his mistakes because he can never remember where he made them. Until, maybe, this time.
