The Well of Abundance
|
 |
We have the power
to create a Well of Abundance in our lives. Nevertheless, most of us
never create abundance that goes beyond solving our immediate
necessities. Let’s look at an analogy that can generate this magic
element which we all desire.
It
is estimated that rivers and lakes contain only about 3% of the entire
amount of the world’s freshwater which is so vital for our survival. The
water that is not in rivers and lakes is stored under the earth’s surface
in different forms and depths.
When we begin to
drill a well, we arrive rapidly to what is called the water table. We
find water but it is not constant or reliable. It is affected by local
conditions such as changes in the seasons and climactic
conditions. Water which is found at deeper levels is stored in aquifers.
The quality and quantity of this water is more constant and reliable
because it comes from sources that are not as affected by local
conditions.
You are probably
asking:
“What does this
have to do with me and abundance in my life?”
In the beginning,
we all take advantage of the abundance which is readily available. In our
example this can be represented by the rivers and lakes. This source of
abundance is rapidly depleted and we must work harder and drill deeper to
once again find that which we desire.
Frequently, we
stop as soon as we achieve initial levels of success, the water table.
Since this is
affected by local conditions, there comes a point when the
source is no longer
constant
or reliable. Often we do not deepen our existing well to find the aquifer
which will provide a steady stream of abundance, but rather go in search
of another nearby well which gives immediate satisfaction.
Most often the
best response to a lack of abundance in our lives is not to go find
another well but to dig deeper into the one we currently have to find a
constant source of abundance.
Any position and
any type of work have potential. When we continue to dig, investigate and
learn everything about our business and work, we will arrive at the
aquifers that are not so affected by seasons and changes. We achieve
stability in our business and our lives which are converted into a Well of
Abundance.
It’s the Bounce that Counts!
