Thought for the day by Charles Handy on self-pruning and realizing the essentials of life before it's too late. Handy begins the thought discussing the topic of self-pruning chestnut trees and how they can serve as a metaphor for cutting back on unnecessary aspects of one's own life. Handy recommends trimming essentials to make one's self strong and more adaptable, whether for individuals, share portfolios, or organizations. On a deeper level, Handy understands this process as a journey in search of one's soul.
