Abundance cannot be stolen or hoarded. It must be lived.

Too often we see wealth as the result of a “getting” process. We waste an enormous amount of time figuring out how we can “get” this or “get” that. In reality, wealth results from a creation process that transforms life’s ever-present abundance into some specific and useful form of value.

That kind of creation comes from giving of yourself. You have much within you that is valuable and unique. You have within your life something unique that you can draw upon to create all the wealth you could ever need or want. Perhaps it is your fascination with sports, perhaps it is your skill with programming computers, or your ability to bring people together, or your knack for selecting appropriate colors. Maybe it is your extensive network or contacts, or your dedication to physical fitness, or your ability to compose music, or your skill at repairing machinery. It’s probably a combination of things, and almost certainly something you enjoy. We find satisfaction in things we were meant to do.

Stop thinking about getting and taking. Start focusing on producing and creating. Within any situation, there are opportunities to make a positive, valuable contribution.

When you’re primarily concerned with “What can I do for myself?” you might be able to make a good living. Instead, ask “What can I do for others?” and you’re on your way to building a life that’s filled with richness.
