One Thing That Could QUADRUPLE Your Capacity In 2018 (Part 4 of 4)

 

2018 is off and running….

 

Weeks have passed and spring will be here before you know it!

How is it going for you so far… really?

How are you progressing on your decisions and goals?

I am sure some of you are KILLING it; off to a great start and beginning to see the fruit of your labor and focus.  

If that’s you - awesome - I still think this post will help you.

Maybe for some, things have not gone as well & some discouragement could be setting in a bit.

No worries if so...

Evaluating, although a proven success habit, can get discouraging – especially if you have not progressed the way you wanted to.

It is easy to feel tempted to give up or give in when it comes to going after the growth you set out to achieve on January 1st.

This is the last of a four-part series on making 2018 your best year yet!

Here’s the really GREAT news… IT’S NOT TOO LATE to make this your best year!

If you are needing some encouragement or some inspiration and have not read the first 3 parts to this series, please take a moment to check out part 1, part2, and part 3 before proceeding.

Now for final the piece of the puzzle to making this your best year yet: Part 4.

Growing up, my grandfather had horses.

Besides a kick to the kneecap and being run under some low branches over and over again, I have great memories of them.

One time, when I was about 8 years old or so, my grandfather had me hold onto two huge horses bridles.

A few seconds later, I am about 6 feet off the ground, as they had both lifted their heads and knocked me off my feet… My grandfather had a good laugh at that.

An Interesting fact about horses (specifically draft horses):

 

You Are Not Going To Believe This

 

                

 

 

According to Jim Stovall, director of personal finance for Buckingham and the BAM Alliance:

   

• A single draft horse can pull a load up to 8,000 pounds.

 

• So then, we can speculate what would happen if we hooked up two draft horses to a load.  

 

• If you instantly thought two draft horses could pull 16,000 pounds, you would be wrong.

 

• Two draft horses pulling together cannot pull twice as much as one. 

 

• They can actually pull three times as much. 

 

• The two draft horses that can each pull 8,000 pounds alone can pull 24,000 pounds working together.

  The horses are teaching us a very clear lesson in teamwork, but there is even more to learn from them…

•  If the two horses that are pulling together have trained with one another and have worked together before they, in tandem, can actually pull 32,000 pounds, which is a load four times as heavy as either of the horses could pull by themselves.

 

Wow – this is incredible!

 

One horse - 8,000 pounds.

 

Two horses – up to 32,000 pounds.

 

How?

 

Why?

Something definitely happens when you put two horses side by side and have them do a task that multiplies their efforts, strength, and capability - especially if they have worked together in the past.

 

How Might This Apply To You?
