The Power of an Ant

There's a really cool quote by Lao Tzu (Father of Taoism) that I'm gonna share with you guys: "An ant on the move does more than a dozing ox."

Just think about it.

What does it matter if you're the strongest, the biggest, the most beautiful, the most impressive on the outside? What's outside is important, yes, but what's inside counts far more...and using it actively is what matters most. An ant is among the smallest of creatures, very ordinary in appearance, often unnoticed by the 'oxen' amongst us. But it is this little soul that, precisely because of its small size, has the strength to carry up to 20 (or even 50) times its own body weight and build impressive structures of earth that we often can't help but notice :-)

So next time you feel down and believe others to be better than you, more talented, more powerful: DON'T! As long as you can keep moving and doing the best with what you have, you'll be doing far more and far better than most of the rather sedentary (in more senses than one), "powerful" people in our society today.

Ok, now go have a piece of dark chocolate, that's an order! Haha, I can order myself to do that, but you're free to do what you want. If you like my idea (and it is a good one!), then that's great and wonderful, but don't blindly follow leaders just because their word is more powerful than yours. It's not...
