What does it take to live abundantly?
What are the keys to true prosperity?
How is it possible that we can give generously?
What does one do to have no worries?
We can save money.
We can make money.
We can spend money.
We can have no debt.
But how can see the abundance in our lives?
Perhaps abundant living is never really about money.
Perhaps prosperity is really about a change of perception.
Maybe real wealth is how you value what you have.
And when we realize we can change our mind, we see it is so.
When we seek what we don’t have and depreciate what we have, we feel lacking.
When we live a life of overdoing, over spending, over expecting, we feel depleted.
When we spend what we don’t have, we find ourselves in debt and owning.
When we work to get more because we believe we have less, we feel impoverished.
When we recognize and appreciate what we have, we increase its value.
When we use what we have with gratitude and consciousness, we see there is always enough.
When we live as good stewards and share with our neighbors, there seems to be plenty.
When we live simply, give generously and enjoy gratefully, we feel prosperous.
Prosperity is a change of mind.
When we expect a full closet, but only need a few things, we may makeup we don’t have enough.
When we demand more than we need, we may imagine we need more.
When we compare with our neighbors, celebrities or the wealthy, we might believe they have it all.
There are many people who are happy with a simple shelter in which to sleep.
There are those who simple eat one bowl of rice a day.
There are those who have one change of clothes and one pair of shoes.
When you are satisfied and appreciate what you have, you feel abundantly provided for.
To feel abundant, perhaps we need to be grateful.
To know abundance, perhaps we need to share what we have.
To realize abundant living, maybe it is time to change our minds.
To have and live life abundantly, we can change our perceptions and our priorities.
Consider letting go of comparison.
Choose to stop complaining and worrying.
Commit to use what you have with appreciation.
Change your thoughts to ones of fully and freely living the abundant live you have.
Loving you abundantly,
