Ants are fascinating creatures.

We can learn a lot by studying

their FIVE-FOLD PHOLOSOPHY:

Carry your share of the work;

Know where you’re going;

Stay positive and never give up;

Work as a team;

Love where you live.

Carry your share of the work.

Every ant works, no exceptions.

Each one knows what to do and does it.

No shirking of duty, no laziness.

Know where you’re going.

Every day ants have purpose.

They know where they need to go and they go.

They accomplish something every day.

Stay positive and never give up.

When things go wrong, ants keep going, they never give up.

If obstacles get in their way, they go around or over.

If their home gets destroyed, they rebuild.

Work as a team.

Ants support the common goal of the group.

They do what’s needed to maintain the group effort.

Each one knows its function in the group and does it.

Love where you live.

Ants are dedicated to their home, wherever its located.

They keep their home neat and maintained.

If damage occurs, they repair immediately.

What wonderful examples the ants are.

Their five-fold philosophy is a model of ingenuity

that leads to successful and harmonious living.

It’s a philosophy that would work well for humans.

I wonder why we haven’t studied it more.

I wonder how well I would do personally

in applying it to my life.

I wonder which of the five-points

would challenge me the most.

I wonder.
