[Horse before the carriage] What is more important, the horse or the carriage? What is the carriage without a horse? What is the horse without a carriage? Possibilities, freedom and potential. Many times when someone starts a project they obsessed over the goods in the carriage. These are the little and the big goals, This is what people measure their success by, logical and safe.

Then what is the horse? The horse represents the process itself, the power of persistence and raw strength. The hardworking. The process itself. Those obsessed with the goods in the back pay no heed to the process itself, They don't realize the true goods are the horses! The horse is the process, the machine, the efficiency, the possibility and the bringer of fortunes.

A greedy man thinks about how much items he can stuff in the back, The wise one thinks about how to make the horses faster, stronger, and more persistent paying little heed to the items in the back. It is those that enjoy the process, obsess and hold it as the true goal that survive the race.

It was Leo Gura who bought up the thought “You’re putting the carriage before the horse”. The goal before the work. The goods before the machine. Isn’t this how we humans get in our own way? Look how little home runs you hit, or how much you have hit; No matter, hit harder, hit better, hit with more persistence, hit with more joy, hit for the moment of it. Hit for the spirit of the process, Hit because you understand why you do what you do.
