Learning From Ants

Really

By Rowan Finley Published 5 years ago 1 min read

I don’t know about you, but I have so much to learn from ants.

They never stop moving. They never stop working. They never stop.

I’m not saying that I should go, go, go

all the time without resting.

There are many days when I just lack drive to do anything at all.

I get so lazy and lackluster in my thinking and actions.

I don’t know what it is exactly,

but I just don’t have any motivation some days.

If I spent more time around ants,

would their energy somehow transfer to me?

Kind of like osmosis maybe?

Lord, help me to be more productive in life. Please, please, please!
