Sometimes we attack an urgent problem without putting too much thinking into our action plan, and even when we solve the issue, we end up having a negative outcome in the long term. This could be the result of forgetting one of the seven universal laws, the cause and effect law; every action is bound to a reaction.  

In this episode, we talk about the parable of the stick. Some time ago, a friend gifted me this unique stick with some inscriptions on it, designed to remind us that we embrace our acts' consequences when we decide to do something.  

When we consider our next steps, having this idea in mind will allow us to see the big picture, having a smaller error margin. It will also show us the path to the place we want to be. We must consider the result of our actions, who those results would affect, and how. We should also consider other ways to solve our problems, contemplating the alternatives and their outcomes.  

If you want to know more about the parable of the stick and what it can teach us, tune in to Episode 271 of Becoming Your Best and learn to be mindful today of the results you will get tomorrow.
