My blog will be insights on my meditations, where I reflect on topics ranging from business, to spirituality, family, and life.
Every morning I meditate, and in this post you will find some reflections from that day.
Most men have some type of genius. I’m just a facilitator—someone to draw out the knowledge that you have already in you and figure out how to monetize it, and make money with it, using the wisdom you have acquired through your lifetime.
Because you have followed certain methods and practices so long you have lost appreciation for what you know. These cloak the knowledge and wisdom you have developed over many years—talents that have become second nature to you. They are so natural to you they have become invisible to you, but not to the world.
Your own talents have become nearly valueless to you because they are so enmeshed with your daily routine.
Other may not acknowledge your talent because they are jealous.
Sometimes you were not selfless and took more than you gave. But when you changed your ways to give more than you took everything changed for the good.
This is when the law of multiplication took over and then you began a journey greater than yourself.
When you moved from being all about yourself to all about others and changed your focus to causes greater than your own, it is as if suddenly the secrets to a truly happy life began to manifest.
When it was all about you, you became your own idol. You became more important than the ones you served.
This caused you to lose your way because you can’t be your own fountain of life, you must draw from the fountains of life.
Who or what is the fountain of everything good in your life? This is what needs to be discovered.
Your life was never supposed to be all about you. There’s nothing redeeming about a self-centered life, no matter how high you climb. You would have missed the point of life which is to serve–not be served.
The key to living a happy life is finding whom you want to serve. If there are endless fountains of life in someone or something, why drink from any other waters?
All of us have wells within us but they must be replenished, continually refilled with fresh water. If we don’t replenish our inner wells, we become stale and stagnant and die off, no matter how great we started out. It’s all about how we end, is it not?
Record indicate that King Solomon lived a more lavish life than any one ever had before him, but by the end of his life he had lost his way and saw life as not worth living. By all accounts, he just gave up.
All his wisdom and knowledge and understanding failed him because he walked away from his first love. He stopped drinking from the fountain of life and drank his own Kool-Aid.
When it’s all about you it’s just a matter of time until you fail. We are created beings and are not self-sustaining. If one relies only on one’s self, one will eventually fail.
In life we start with a pool of water, but in time if we refuse to use it to prime the pumps of life we dry up, and all is lost.
Life’s wells are still there but we have stopped drinking from them.
Here’s the good news. As long as we have a desire to turn from simply living for ourselves and are willing to turn to the fountains of life, we can get back on track.
It is never too late as long as you desire to change. Every day is another chance. If you can breathe, you can change your allegiance. Decide to live.
