Fast Five: Chop Wood, Carry Water by Joshua Medcalf (and a Bonus)

As coaches, we help others find enlightenment; we help them go together where they can't go alone. If we chose to carry five messages or words on a laminated card what might we choose? 

Joshua Medcalf's "Chop Wood, Carry water" shares a powerful allegory of personal growth through a principled life. 

Here are five quotes from the work:

"Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less."

"You fuel your heart with six things: what you watch, what you read, what you listen to, who you surround yourself with, how you talk to yourself, and what you visualize."

"Your value comes from who you are, not from what you do." 

"Everyone wants to be great, until it's time to do what greatness requires...your greatest challenge during your time here will be faithfully keeping your focus on the process, while surrendering the outcome." 

"The bright lights only expose their lack of faithfulness to their craft in the dark." 

Hearing and understanding the message are not the same. To find solutions, we will need to adhere to and to enhance the process that helped us find previous solutions. In that sense, we are always "building our house" or "pounding the rock."
