Chapter 102: Bring Clarity To Your Life
Simplify Your Life
Fruitfulness requires pruning.
My time as a barn manager in the wine country of Missouri taught me that fruitful grape vines do not go off in all directions at once in an attempt to gather their sustenance of sunshine from as many places as possible. Instead, at the end of each growing season, the vines are cut back, way back. The owners of the vineyards have discovered the secret to a bountiful harvest. Each Spring the grape vine, pruned all the way back to the main stem, sends out new growth. From these limited, new branches comes the most bountiful harvest. The lesson here is clear: in life, as in grape production, simplification is fruitful.
