WISDOM - BEAVER

we are all born with a purpose we just need to find the right path and stay focused.
Take the Beaver as an example using his sharp teeth for cutting trees and branches to build his dams and lodges. If he did not use his teeth, the teeth would continue to grow until they became useless, and the cause of his demise.

Here follows a story of a beaver who moved in on a stream. He immediately began taking down small trees, and within a couple of weeks the small stream turned into a small pond. Everyday he added more to his damn and to his house.
It was clear to see where the term "busy as a beaver", came from as he set to work.

With the stream now damned and his house built, he started chewing on a very large maple tree. The tree is over 60 feet tall and is approximately five feet in diameter at the base.
Over the winter, he would come out and chew a bit more. He had setbacks as with winter storms and freezing weather. The task seemed impossible such a little creature and such a huge tree. But sure enough, when the weather allowed, he kept coming back and would chew a bit more.
The beaver's original goal was survival - to build a home for the winter. Working every day with that particular focus in mind, he achieved that goal. But the large maple tree he started chewing on last fall was a future goal - he wanted the large tree for the spring, to provide new food and branches to continue damning in anticipation of the spring thaw. And, even with the setbacks he faced over the winter, he never gave up.

Sometimes our goal is simply to survive, but we also need to set goals for tomorrow.
And sometimes, just surviving seems to occupy all of our time
But, if you do just a little bit when times allows,
and keep focused on your future goal, you will achieve it.
