Abundance is the freedom to do what you want to do when you want to do it because you want to do it.
âDaniel Gutierrez
Success is doing what you want to do, when you want, where you want, with whom you want, as much as you want.
âAnthony Robbins
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
âRalph Waldo Emerson
Here is a great story to illustrate the true message of this chapter.
One day a fisherman was lying on a beautiful beach, with his fishing pole propped up in the sand and his solitary line cast out into the sparkling blue surf. He was enjoying the warmth of the afternoon sun and the prospect of catching a fish.
About that time, a businessman came walking down the beach, trying to relieve some of the stress of his workday. He noticed the fisherman sitting on the beach and decided to find out why this fisherman was fishing instead of working harder to make a living for himself and his family. âYou arenât going to catch many fish that way,â said the businessman to the fisherman. âYou should be working rather than lying on the beach!â
The fisherman looked up at the businessman, smiled and replied, âAnd what will my reward be?â âWell, you can get bigger nets and catch more fish!â was the businessmanâs answer. âAnd then what will my reward be?â asked the fisherman, still smiling. The businessman replied, âYou will make money and youâll be able to buy a boat, which will then result in larger catches of fish!â âAnd then what will my reward be?â asked the fisherman again. The businessman was beginning to get a little irritated with the fishermanâs questions. âYou can buy a bigger boat, and hire some people to work for you!â he said.
âAnd then what will my reward be?â repeated the fisherman. The businessman was getting angry. âDonât you understand? You can build up a fleet of fishing boats, sail all over the world, and let all your employees catch fish for you!â Once again the fisherman asked, âAnd then what will my reward be?â The businessman was red with rage and shouted at the fisherman, âDonât you understand that you can become so rich that you will never have to work for your living again! You can spend all the rest of your days sitting on this beach, looking at the sunset. You wonât have a care in the world!â
The fisherman, still smiling, looked up and said, âAnd what do you think Iâm doing right now?â
