So that you can close them

When I was little, every year before going to the sea with my family, we took all of our inflatable toys and put them in a bucket full of water.

This allowed us to identify if there were any holes in them, and repair them with silicone.

If there was a leak, the air would come out of the toy and form a bubble trail in the water, so that we could see exactly where the leaking point was.

And, I think, this system can work for people, too.

We need to identify where our leaking points are, in order to understand their nature and fix them.

We can’t proceed blind, we need to put ourselves in a situation in which we can see and comprehend exactly how a leak has formed, why, and how to repair it, in order to stop the energy leak.

Only you know how to do that. How to find them, and how to close them. Deep, down, you know you do.

So do it.

Identify your energy leaks, because that’s the only way you will be able to stop your own power from slipping away from you.
