Lessons from the ants

Welcome Back!

We forget sometimes that the biggest lessons in our life come from the smallest folks around us. In this post, I will discuss the well known “Ants Philosophy“.

There are 4 lessons from the “Ants Philosophy“. I will be discussing each one of them in detail.

The 4 lessons are:

Ants never quit:
Have you ever noticed how ants always look for a way around an obstacle? Put your finger in an ant’s path and it will try to go around it, or over it. It will keep looking for a way out even it is surrounded by all sides. It won’t just stand there and stare. It just keeps trying to get through the obstacle. We should learn to be like them.
Your life will be full of obstacles. Keep trying, keep looking for alternative routes to get to your goals.
Ants think winter all summer:
Do you remember the old story of the ant and the grasshopper? In the middle of the summer, the ant was busy gathering food for the winter ahead while the grasshopper was out having a good time. Basically, they think ahead of time. They can’t be so naive as to think summer will last forever. So ants gather their winter food in the middle of summer.
They also know that the good times do not last forever. Don’t be so arrogant as to believe that a crisis or setback cannot happen to you.
Ants think summer all winter:
As they suffer through the unbearable cold of winter, ants keep reminding themselves, “This won’t last long; we’ll soon be out of here.” The summer will soon be there. And at the first rays of the summer sun, the ants come out - ready to work, ready to play. They again start collecting food for the winter.
It is important to retain a positive attitude, an attitude that says things will get better.
Ants do all they possibly can:
How much food does an ant gather in summer? All that it possibly can! Now that's a great work ethic to have. Do all you can! One ant doesn’t worry about how much food another ant is collecting. It does not sit back and wonder why it should have to work so hard. Nor does it complain about the work or the poor pay! It simply gathers all the food it can and gives its 100%.
Success and happiness are usually the result of giving your 100% - doing all you possibly can. You will find that all the successful people did just that to achieve their goals.

Thought of the day:

“It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.”
