Abundance is Not One Way
Part 2 of An Exploration of Abundance
Abundance is Liberty
Abundance starts with belief. We must believe that there is plenty for all of us. This is all we need to start with.
The belief of abundance is a valuable possession. The longer we possess it, meditate on it, and act on it, the more valuable it becomes. We begin to see the abundance we already have. It illuminates possibilities yet to be seen.
With abundance, there is no need for jealousy, competition, or hoarding. These are malicious emotions, beliefs, and behaviors. Being free of these constricting things gives us room to breathe. It frees us from fear. It liberates our perspective to a higher level.
Abundance in Action
Having a belief in abundance is just the beginning. Belief is powerless without action.
When we put our beliefs into action, they will be tested. It is in the testing that we begin to accumulate wins. A win is rejecting the emotion of jealousy. A win is rejecting the urge to compete with others. We win with the belief that there is plenty for all, there is plenty for you, there is plenty for me.
Abundance Flows From Us
We might be tempted to think of abundance as things coming to us. But it really starts with our unique talents flowing from us.
Abundance works when we see ourselves as part of an ecosystem of abundance. As human beings, we each have unique talents. We can use our talents to create, and use what we create as a stream of abundance flowing out of us to others. For example, if someone has the talent to create art, then art can become the means to participate in abundance. Artists can create much more art than they need. So, creating art for others is a means of participating in abundance.
What we create must have value to others. If we immerse ourselves in creating, we will soon acquire the skills necessary to become proficient and masterful. When we acquire the skills we will be able to create abundantly.
The wise teacher proclaimed: "Give, and it will be given to you. Pressed down, shaken, and overflowing." Abundance starts with a giving attitude. When we use our talents to create abundantly we have value that we can share with others. We can give abundantly out of the overflow that we have created. This abundant giving creates good will among those around us. This is the power of abundance.
A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed. -Proverbs 11:25
Finally
Abundance is not having more, it’s about expressing more.
The abundance mindset is a belief that there is plenty for all. This belief rejects the temptation to compete with others, to compare ourselves to others, or be envious of others.
If we want to participate in abundance, then we have to be a source of abundance to others. We must create in such a way that we have an overflow. From the overflow we have plenty to give. Then, we can use our overflow to be of service to others.
