We know with certainty that we have a limit on the withdrawals we can make from the ATM based on the amount we have first deposited. Therefore, with low deposits into the account, withdrawals are not possible.
With all our relationships, the same applies. The depth and closeness of the relationships we consistently make reflect the deposits outweighing the drawings. The more we deposit compared to withdraw, the stronger the relationship and the potential for the investment to provide exponential returns.
We cannot start a relationship without positivity, nor should we expect it to be healthy and grow if that is its basis. The deposits we make need to be genuine and show the care we have for the person and only then do we have the ability and even permission to begin to impose our requirements and wishes onto others. Look at your children, close family, friends, and co-workers. It is simple math.
We should look to finish each day with a positive balance. Who wants their relationships to resemble the erratic chart of a volatile stock market? Our investment will determine the extent of permission and ability we have to make withdrawals. We can only expect to have meaningful, lasting relationships where others choose to be with us.
