The Paradoxes of Our Lives - To Reach High Up, Keep Your Head Down

Posted on 21:46 by Unknown
To reach for the stars, we must keep our head down.

A patch of the summer sky
Head down works both ways - as in a) keeping ourselves rooted and focussed on the job and the process and b) being humble (again rooted to the ground). We cannot climb the mountain if we have our head in the air. We cannot hit the ball for a six if our head is in the air.

The ones who are most in touch with their job, their work, the real purpose of their profession or existence, are most likely to reach the heights. Those who walk around with their heads in the air, may find it difficult to rise above the step on which they are standing. (They may, quite likely, fall.)
