YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN USE YOUR ABILITY. IT IS AN AWESOME RESPONSIBILITY

Around the turn of the century near the town of Beaumont, Texas, a landowner was forced to sell portioned of his land to feed his family. Then an oil company told him there could be oil on his property and offered to pay him royalties if he would permit them to drill. The landowner agreed, because he had nothing to lose.

When the well came in, it destroyed the wooden derrick, creating an enormous excitement. Before they could cap the well, several hundred thousands of oil had pumped out. That was the discovery of “Spindletop,” the most productive single oil well in history.

The landowner became an instant multimillionaire, or did he? The answer is really “no.” You see, he’d been a millionaire ever since he had own his property. Unfortunately, he had no knowledge of that fact and consequently did not capitalize on it.

It is my personal conviction that inside all of us, there is incredible ability and talent, much of which is never recognized and used. My suggestion is simple: Get acquainted with yourself. Recognize, develop, and use what you’ve got. Who knows maybe there is a ”Spindletop” underneath. You’ve certainly got nothing to lose by doing a little drilling and exploring. Who knows what might come to the surface, you’ve got nothing to lose.
