Taking Care of Yourself vs. Your Responsibilities

The Story of The Tree and The Vine...

In each one's life, they own a success tree. It is all their ambitions, dreams, abilities, talents, and goals. However, there is also a vine. A vine of all the responsibilities and duties that make up life.


Most believe that if they just work hard enough to prune back the vine eventually it will diminish and they will have time to foster the growth of their success tree.


People work their whole life to maintain this vine, yet no matter how hard they work the vine sprouts more branches and takes nearly all their time. Their tree receives little attention and thus slowly withers away.


Some, however, know the only way to maintain the vine is to first foster the growth of the tree. Each morning they water, protect, and cultivate the tree allowing it to steadily grow each day.


Once they've adequately cared for the tree, they turn their attention to the vine. Allowing both to symbiotically grow and develop.
