Billy Madison Loop

6 of us dodged puddles and covered over 4 miles this morning. Here was what YHC dubbed the “Billy Madison” route:

– Circle Doby’s Bridge Elementary, up Neff Court
– Take the rocky path up and over Doby’s Bridge to and through Dominion Bridge
– Venture down Whites Rd, left at the Forest Creek Middle basketball courts, around the school, down to the track and back up and over Whites Rd again
– Circle Catawba Ridge High School, back over Whites Rd, through Dominion Bridge (up hill this time) and back to COT
– 4.16 miles total

When we all arrived this morning, it was pouring – like, you cannot see the road pouring. I think we all thought the worst about what was to come. Funny thing though, at 5:13 the rain stopped and we stepped off. We made the situation much worse in our minds than what was reality. There’s a lesson there. Maybe the thing you are putting off isn’t as bad as you think it is. Maybe you should just step off and get started. Or maybe it was just happenstance. Maybe.

Aye!

We each get 24 hours a day. What we choose to do with it is up to us. Do we doom scroll on our phones or study to become better? Is it all work and no play?

There were two lumberjacks—one young and strong, the other older and more experienced.
They both started working at the same time each morning, and the young lumberjack was determined to prove he was the best. So he challenge the older lumberjack to a contest – who could cut the most wood in one day? He chopped trees nonstop, all day long, barely taking any breaks, confident his youth and strength would make him the winner.

The older lumberjack, meanwhile, would take regular breaks—even disappearing for an hour at lunch. The young man was convinced he was winning by a landslide.

At the end of the day, to his surprise, the older lumberjack had cut significantly more wood.
Frustrated and confused, the younger man asked, “How could you have possibly cut more trees than me? I worked the entire time. You took so many breaks!”

The older man replied, “Yes, but every time I sat down, I was sharpening my axe.”

Whether in business, leadership, or life, working nonstop without reflection, renewal, or improvement often leads to burnout and diminished results. But if you “sharpen your axe,” you perform better in the long run.

Aye!
