One With the Source
"To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders"- Lao Tzu
Imagine warming to grill. You would get some charcoal, some fluid, and matches. Typically you will soak the charcoal fluid and them let it sit for a while. Next you will light the charcoal. Once you have lit it, you will wait for the fire to reach full heat.
At this point you have taken the time to build, ignite the fire, and reach full potential. Let us define this end result as a source. What will happen if we took one of those burning charcoals out and placed it on the cement? It will quickly go out. A lot quicker than if we left it as a part of the source.
However, if we took it and placed it in the middle of a new set of charcoal that has been prepped with fluid it could become the start of a new source. If the single lit charcoal is too small the fire will never start. So you have to set up the new environment in as good a shape as the first source in order for it to succeed.
The moral of the story is that it takes an effort to build a great team but once you do than do not allow the pieces to break apart so easily. An example? This phenomenon is often violated by a successful owners single restaurant. The owner decides to build another restaurant nearby and takes half of his staff to the new one. Eventually both restaurants become mediocre and fail.
Today's question is:
"How fat are you from your source?"
