What are the three things that you are
grateful for this semester?
If someone's axe is blunt—the edge
isn't sharpened— then more strength
will be needed. Putting wisdom to
work will bring success.
ENHANCE YOUR
INTELLIGENCE
Sharpen your AXE
Give me six hours to
chop down a tree and I
will spend the first four
sharpening the axe.
Abraham Lincoln
What is to sharpen your axe?
Be sober minded. Plan your life
The
moment
you are
born into
this world
you are
placed into
the ‘jungle’
and you
need to
create your
own path.
The period from birth to around 16 is a provisional
stage where you cannot start working on the ‘jungle’.
Your identity is determined by your parents,
environment, and experiences.
At the age of 16 you need to start ‘working on
the jungle’ and create your path.
Your axe is important starting at this stage.
What is this ‘axe’?
Mind Body Emotions
Life
Energie
s
Align these four and start charting your path.

Tools
