When swimming against the current is resting. Here is a paradox or oxymoron. There are times when swimming against the current is actually resting. What do I mean? If you are constantly "achieving" something, you are never resting the mind or body outside of sleep.
One of the hardest things to do is "sharpening the axe". Abraham Lincoln was reported to have said that if he had 8 hours to chop down a tree he would spend most of that time sharpening the axe.
What most of us do is take a dull axe and burn up all our energy whacking at the problem but making very little progress. This time of refreshment, of nourishment of the soul and mind is what we call "sharpening the axe".
Actually, God thought this up a few thousand years ago. It's called "the Sabbath". Keeping the Sabbath rest is definitely "swimming against the stream". Sometimes everything in you wants to go out there (especially on a nice day) and "get something done". Instead of this Sabbath rest we offer our body a putrid poor substitute: we vege out in front of the TV frequently to "relax"
We actually need the Sabbath rest for our bodies, our minds and our spirits. As in all areas of wholistic health, the more we bring balance to ourselves, the more effective we will be in developing an effective and successful automated home business. So take your Sabbath Rest and charge up your batteries. Your financial freedom in a home based business is much more likely to happen.
