We’re doing a series on abundance. Last time, we took the first step – create a fortune by feeling fortunate.
No matter what life may throw our way, we are so lucky to live freely. We may not have everything we want, but we’re so fortunate to have so

Now we’re ready for the second step of finding abundance:
Build in Reserve Capacity
Many people today are trying to sprint through the entire marathon. To run that pace for a short time may be fine. But to run the whole course at that speed only leads to wearing out long before the finish line.
In your schedule
Finish strong by building reserve capacity in your schedule. Here are some suggestions:
You start to do this by setting your direction. What does bigg success mean to you? Bigg success is life on your own terms. What does that look like? Get a clear picture of it in your mind.
With that vision, focus every day on the things that are the most important to getting there. If it doesn’t move you toward it, stop doing it!
Then honestly assess how much you, as a human being, can accomplish in a day. Live as a human, not a superman or superwoman. Live like a human, not a machine or a robot. Leave yourself some breathing room when you plan your day.
Also plan for the unplanned. Things will happen that will need your attention. Projects will take longer than expected. Opportunities will present themselves along the way.
If your schedule is jam packed, you won’t be able to take advantage of them. Or your bigg opportunity may pass right before your eyes and you’ll be so busy you won’t even notice it.
In your budget
Once again, it comes back to what life on your own terms means to you. When you look at what you’re spending money on, are all expenditures moving you closer to that dream life?
You know where you want to go. You know how fast you want to get there. Sometimes that means creating abundance for the future by creating a reserve today.
When you have money in the bank or money in your investment account, you feel a sense of abundance, don’t you? It’s only human. So let’s do it:
Eliminate every cost that doesn't move you closer to where you want to be. Take the money you save and stash it away.
Another great financial reserve is reserve borrowing capacity. It’s not an asset in the strictest sense of the word, but it sure is an asset when your bigg opportunity presents itself. So build reserves to live in abundance. That’s bigg success!
