Hello Everybody,
I hope everybody is doing well. I wanted to write a little bit about abundance and scarcity. Everything in our lives is guided by our thoughts and abundance and scarcity are no different. We may not give much notice to how we think about these things, but when we do, we find the clues to how we look at life. How we look at life shapes everything we do from how we live to how we spend, to how we save, or even if we think we can have something.
There are those that can only see the cup half empty and those that can see the cup half full, and then there are those that realize they are the cup! This can be quite enlightening for some who have always gone about with a negative bend on things. These people literally cannot see that they can have more of whatever it is they seek. They have learned that they can't have it or worst yet, don't deserve it. These are the ones we see who cannot even imagine that things can be any different than they are at present. Just try and change their minds and they will tell you how bad it is, and how you're crazy for even thinking it can be better. These people will never have any more than what they settle for and usually it is not much.
There are also those who truly "say" they want more out of life or "say" they believe that life can be abundant but don't act in accordance with this belief. They have been conditioned to believe that life is hard and that one must work hard for more of anything. They say they want a better lifestyle yet they still do the same old thing. They don't save anything, they don't see how they could posssilby take a vacation etc. But to talk to these people they will tell you they want more and are willing to do anything it takes, but really only if it does not change their current belief system.
There are also those who truly live an abundant lifestyle and living an abundant lifestyle is different from living a lavish lifestyle. It is a frame of mind, not a dollar amount. I've known plenty of people with lots of money that I would not call abundant by any stretch of the imagination. Abundance is living a life on purpose with the graciousness of knowing that we have everything we need. How do we do this you ask. Well first we acknowledge that we have an awesome life and that we have everything we need. We become grateful for all that we do have and allow for more to come in by having an "attitude of gratitude." This allows more to come into our life. When we appreciate what we have The Universe rewards us with more, but when we hold onto what little we think there is and cling to it with desperation, we create more of the same.
We must learn that not only is the cup half full, but that we are the cup. We can hold more than we even know and can expand and retract to allow for everything we want and need. If we start to become aware to all that we already have, we will find that we already have an abundant life.
In Peace and Love,
George
