Ep 304 - Mind, Body, Spirit: The Three Horses
“Root before you expand” is a concept that can be applied to various aspects of life, emphasizing the importance of a solid foundation before growth. For instance, in martial arts, physical stability is crucial for effective execution. So, physically, it's crucial to root before expanding.
Similarly, when it comes to our emotions, Steve reminds us how a strong foundation (emotional intelligence or EQ) aids resilience in life's storms.
However, spiritually, Tim poses the idea of expansion actually BEFORE rooting. Looking up to the heavens and expanding our minds encourages us to think beyond current circumstances. After all, it's heaven on earth; not earth in heaven.
Whether we're anchoring first then reaching out, or vice-versa — ultimately, balance of mind, body, and spirit is vital for true growth. We should strive to keep these three elements in harmony. Tim talks about three horses and the gift he gave Steve as a metaphor for this.
