“A jug fills drop by drop.”

—The Buddha, spiritual teacher and founder of Buddhism

The other evening, I was watching a science program on television: “How the Universe Works.” The subject of this particular episode was how the Earth formed over 4.5 billion years ago.

Surprisingly, I learned that in the early years, the Earth had no water at all. The constant bombardment of water-containing meteors and asteroids filled our rivers, streams, lakes, and oceans drop by drop over billions of years.

Exercise:

What efforts are you adding, drop by drop, to your personal and professional “jugs” each day, to have a more fulfilling life?
