There Are No Waves Without Wind

4

The title of my blog today comes from a Chinese Proverb.  To me, it was so profound; I had to write about it.  Have you ever thought about the significance of a wave?  Have you have ever sat on the beach as the sun rose, closed your eyes and listened to each wave as it crashed onto the shore?  Have you noticed that when the wave recedes, it takes something with it and sometimes it leaves something behind?  The mere sound is relaxing yet waves are so powerful, they shape our coastlines.

What some people don’t realize is that a wave cannot begin without action from nature.  The most common way a wave occurs is with wind.  The wind brushes along the surface of the water, causing movement, creating energy that was not there.

How does that apply to life?  Well, most people have goals, dreams and ambitions; which symbolize a body of water.  A lot of people sit at the edge of the coastline, waiting for the wave to come in and with it bring the realization of these goals, dreams and ambitions.  What they fail to do is create the wind.  You see, as the title says There are no waves without wind.   You cannot receive what’s available to you until you provide the energy to move your dreams toward you.

What happens to a body of water that has no movement?  No energy?  No wind?  A body of water without movement becomes stagnant.  The same resource that is responsible for all life on earth becomes the bearer of disease.  Stagnant water is an environmental hazard.  Wow.  This resembles what life is like when WE stop moving; when we do not perform the necessary actions to make ourselves better, when we stop creating the wind that cause the waves of abundance to crash onto our coastline.

In the end, if you live life waiting for the wave to come in, you’ll be living a stagnant life.  Take action today, abundance is waiting.  Create the wind and a wave of blessings will crash upon you.

If you are not sure how you can create the wind in your life, I invite you to join me on October 2nd, where my partner John Maxwell will be revealing a plan for growth.  Find out more here: http://growthlaws.eventbrite.com

    Only when the wind blows, does wave occur. Just like, only when there is a push, does things happen. Awesome post!

    Good stuff Leandro. Glad to see you being a wind blower, not someone full of hot air. Keep it up my friend and looking forward to hearing more from you and to see you in February.
