Sharpening The Saw

In his book 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Steve Covey spoke of sharpening the saw.
This is about always striving to become our best mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.
I know guys who are unbalanced in their approach to life who may be strong physically but weak as hell in other areas. Know where you stand here, and be honest. My strengths are mental, spiritual and physical but weak emotionally. My heart breaks so easily, and I hide this weakness behind the veneer of an outward toughness.
It's different for each of us, but know your own resolve in your objective analysis when it comes to to where your saw needs sharpening. Our whole purpose in life is to live well and be happy as we contemplate the whole meaning of life. Consider:

Perhaps all the world and all the worlds beyond, and all the people and all the people beyond, and all the stars and all the stars beyond, are connected. When you pass out of this life, you merely lose your individuality.
In place of individuality, you become one with the universe. So the meaning of life is to make the most of it, and to bring your experiences back into the "universal oneness".

Just go think about that now...and sharpen your saw...

ALL IS POSSIBLE!
