The Apple Of Your Eye

I wander the wide world,

Hoping to find some gold;

But all I see,

Is an apple tree,

By the ruins of an old road.

Sometimes the things we seek turn out to be detrimental to our growth. In our desires for gold, we fly down a false path, where our hunger consumes us. The more we take, the more we want. Such greed only leads to disappointment and destruction.

How can we avoid such a fate? By concentrating on the internals rather than the externals of the world. Look deep within yourself, and focus on a trait that needs development. Strive to improve yourself in this area. Make it a daily habit. With practice and determination, you will grow and conquer this limitation that holds you back. The power is within you. Be the apple of your eye.
