2 Kings 2:21 · World English Bible
He went out to the spring of the waters, and threw salt into it, and said, “Yahweh says, ‘I have healed these waters. There shall not be from there any more death or barren wasteland.’ ”
Most people spend their lives filtering the stream when a handful of change at the spring would do it. Where a correction is applied matters more than how hard it is applied.

The same verse, read by one tradition.
SELF-HELP
Most people spend their lives filtering the stream when a handful of change at the spring would do it.
Where a correction is applied matters more than how hard it is applied. Barren ground downstream is a source problem, and every season spent working the fields is a season the same water keeps arriving.
In a person, the source is belief. Belief sets the state a man meets his morning in, the state sets which emotions are available, the emotions choose the actions, and the actions compound into what looks from outside like fate. Yahweh heals the water and lets the wasteland end on its own. Rearranging circumstances while leaving the belief untouched costs a person the same year, lived again and again.
Self-Help lens
Which problem in your life have you been managing for years instead of fixing at the source?
All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world, so the one who corrects the thought has corrected everything that was going to grow out of it.
Deal with a thing while it is still small and before it has taken shape. A tree the size of a house began as something a hand could have pulled up.
Dig inside yourself, because the spring of good is there and will keep flowing if you keep clearing it. He did not say arrange your circumstances better.
