Make Yourself Abundant

Make Yourself Abundant

A simple metaphor changed me from the inside out.

Take a fistful of salt and drop it in a glass of water—it turns unbearably salty. Drop the same salt into a flowing river, and you won’t taste it at all. The salt didn’t change. The water did. And that changed everything.

When I feel life getting a little salty—bitter words, tough days, sharp judgments—I don’t try to fix the salt. I grow the water within me. I expand. I become larger than the insult, the moment, the mood.

You can’t always change people. But you can make yourself abundant.

So the next time something stings, don’t shrink. Widen. Soften. Flow like a river.

Let the salt pass through, untouched.
