The Tides of Wealth

Wealth is like an Ocean, little drops of water make an ocean. An ocean makes waves with its water, when the tide is high the waves are bigger and come in stronger; when the tide is low, the ocean makes little to no waves; When the tide is high the water rises above its normal level, and when the tide is low, its like the ocean recedes and the water goes below its normal level.
Now what does all this have to do with wealth? In my own thinking, I see wealth as an ocean. (An ocean of wealth... How cool that sounds). The build up of wealth is just like the build up of any pond, stream, river and ocean. Little savings kept aside over time, reinvested over time, and more savings continuously kept aside results in the accumulation of wealth; sometimes also a large influx of cash, that is properly saved, invested and reinvested over time also results in a quicker accumulation of wealth. Now whether the wealth was quickly built or slowly built, it is clear that like an ocean, its a never ending process; Water empties out an ocean by evaporation, and refills it again by rainfall, basically the ocean never dries up. Accumulated wealth like an ocean, gets spent up, and keeps getting refilled by the perpetuating savings and investment vehicles in place, from the start of the wealth accumulation process.

Wealth like an Ocean makes strong waves when its tide is high, and little waves when its tide is low. Wealth waves are like income streams, and like investments maturing. When the tide is high is like when business conditions are good and favorable just like harvest times; and at such times wealth can really make strong waves as in income streams can multiply, income flow can increase greatly; investments can mature with really good profits, in fact everything can just blossom and bloom. When the tide is low, is like unfavorable economic conditions; income streams tend to dry up, leaving maybe a few resilient streams to fall back on; income flow tends to decrease, so much money doesn't go around anymore; investments mature with small profits and even losses, it may in fact seem like the wealth has hit a bad turn.
You may now observe that as these events are like what happens with the ocean, the ocean to our eyes remains as if undisturbed by it all, nothing seems added to it, nothing seems taken out of it, and it still remains as daunting and spread out as it always has been.

In the pursuit and build up of wealth, we should have it at the back of our minds that wealth like an ocean has tides, sometimes high and sometimes low, so whatever waves we come across as the tides change while we build up wealth, we should never be distraught or disturbed by it all, but should remain focused on our wealth building activities which are: to always look for new ways to increase our income and income streams; to always keep money aside in savings and increasing the saving as our income increases; to always put part of our savings into trusted, reliable and profitable investment programs; to always re-invest all or part of the profits from investments when they mature.
Sticking to these simple activities, will make the wealth you build up be like an ocean indeed. All people see in an ocean is a large expanse of water, no one can measure the increase or decrease in its water levels, and no one can sure say the ocean will dry out someday.
