When you think of hard work, creativity, and the power to transform your environment, the humble beaver might not be the first animal that comes to mind — but it should be.

When we hear the word abundance, many of us immediately think of money—financial success, material gain, or wealth measured in numbers. But true abundance is far more expansive, more human, and more deeply fulfilling than that.
