We have one FULL week of class! This time of year we usually talk about goal setting. Here is a story I want to share.
In the book "The Alchemist" the protagonist is challenged by a king to walk around his palace while holding a spoon full of oil. He accepts the challenge and walks around for an hour to meet the kings challenge. When asked about what he saw on his walk he had no recollection. He was focused on accomplishing the task. So the king commands him to walk around again but this time look around his most spectacular palace. The garden, tapestries, architecture, and animals were the most unique out of the world sights. Upon his return, the protagonist, who had traveled the world, praised the king for having the most beautiful palace on earth. The king thanked him but also pointed out that his spoon no longer had any oil left.
The challenge is BALANCE. Work towards your goals while still noticing and appreciating the beauty we come across while taking on a challenge.
