There is this interesting quote in the Bible: "Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them."
For me, it explains a principle of life that I have observed within myself. It has to do with expanding capacities.
The more I focus on something or express something, the more capacity I will have for it. Joy, love, balance, compassion, enthusiasm, etc. This is also true for the destructive emotions.
At a certain point there is a syphon effect. It take an effort to pump the liquid at first but after a while, gravity does the rest and then there is a syndrome. These are the virtuous and vicious circles.
The hardest thing to do is to interrupt the flow of a vicious circle when it is in motion.
But knowing that nothing will stop the vicious circle unless I become conscious of it and act makes me realize the cost.
This is my one, wonderful life. No one is going to do it for me. I have to love myself and give myself the gift.
And so I focus on the one, small, good thing and start from there.
A virtuous circle begins.
