Begin with your own talents, your own abilities, your own experience, your own knowledge, your interest, your background, and education. Look within your own life and work for your Acres of diamonds.
Now, there's a famous story called "Acres of Diamonds" that I want to tell you for a second.
Many years ago, a farmer sold his farm and went off to Africa looking for diamonds. He exhausted his resources and finally despaired, throwing himself into the ocean and drowning. Meanwhile, back on his farm, the new farmer was digging one day and found a rock that emitted an amazing light. It turned out to be a great diamond, and as he continued to find more, he discovered that the entire farm was covered with acres of diamonds.
Now, this is the story told by Russell Conwell many years ago that changed the lives of so many thousands of people.
