A pile of wood as a life lesson?

Have you ever made a pile of firewood? I have. The other day I had 2 cubic meters of wood brought in to fire the stove in our living kitchen. The advantage of handling that much wood is that it gets you hot twice. First to get it all in a nice pile and then when you start firing.

Sometimes it means taking what has been learned and stacking it up again for a while so that it becomes a solid whole again.

The blocks of wood I received were all different shapes. Some a little shorter, others longer. Some round and others all different angles. It is not easy to make a nice whole out of such a diverse quantity. On top of that, you have to shape the pile so that it doesn't topple over at the first breath of wind.

Synonym

As I was processing the wood, I realized that all these different blocks could be synonymous with what we are taught in terms of life lessons. If all goes well, your parents once started teaching you what you needed. Assuming there were grandparents, they also interfered with you with all kinds of good advice. The lessons of your first kindergarten teacher were sacred to you. Gradually you came into contact with adults, friends and new teachers who all taught you things in their own way. You learned every day.

The trick is to make all that has been taught into something personal. Sometimes it means turning what you have learned upside down and stacking it again so that it becomes a solid whole again. That takes effort and it can get pretty hot. It can also mean burning things from the past. That too generates heat but doing it does make it a lot more comfortable for you. It gives space and it provides opportunities to add other blocks of information. Properly considered, you always stay with what you are taught. It is important that you have or get a solid foundation so that you can firmly build on that which is taught to you.

The Sales Center likes to offer customization and realizes that sometimes it is essential to examine learned behavior. Perhaps together we can turn the whole thing upside down and lay a good foundation on which you can build existing and new elements. We will undoubtedly burn some elements and yes, that will make you hot, but at the same time it will also make you more comfortable.
