Abundance Is A Life Style

Abundance is a life style, a way of living your life.  It
isn't something you buy now and then or pull down from the
cupboard, dust off and use once or twice, and then return to
the cupboard.

Abundance is a philosophy, it appears in your physiology,
your value system, and carries its own set of beliefs.  You
walk with, sleep with it, bath with it, feel with it, and
need to maintain and take care of it as well.

Its not walk around with "S" for sap on your forehead
either.  It's a knowing that you're perfect in your present
moment, that what you have right now was most likely based
on choices you made yesterday and what you needed to learn
in order to be in the prefect moment now.  Yet not seen as
right or wrong but let go of those judgments and embrace
with a brightness that you can change with just a single
choice right now.

Abundance doesn't always require money.  Many people live
with all that money can buy yet live empty inside.
Abundance begins inside with some main self-ingredients,
like love, care, kindness, and gentleness, thoughtfulness
and compassion.  Abundance is a state of being.  It radiates
outward.  It shines like the sun among the many moons I the
world.  It's being the sun with discernment and love for the
gift of this being.

Being from the brightness of abundance doesn't allow the
darkness to appear or be in the path unless a choice to
allow it to.  The true state of abundance doesn't have room
for lies or games normally played.  The space is too full of
abundance.  This may be a challenge because we still need to
shine for others to see.

Progressing into abundance, a transition, requires courage.
It is driven by the feeling of knowing of its possibility
and seeing the little spots and allowing them to grow
bigger.  Making them consistent choices and removing all
else, that doesn't fuel that being.

Abundance is seeing people for their gifts and not what they
lack or could be. Seeing all things for their gifts and not
what they lack.

Start by knowing what your abundances are, fill that space
with you, and be fully present from that state of being.
Your profession of choice is telling you this already.
Examples:  Coaches have an abundance of knowing and
possibilities.  That is their gift.  Consultants and
customer service professionals have the abundance of
success, practicality, in common.  Administrative Assistants
and Virtual Assistants have an abundance of coordination and
time management.  Abundance is all around you, and all
within.  See what it is, love yourself for what it is, not
what you're missing, or what that can be better.  But for
what is, at this present moment.

Be in a state of abundance of what you already have.  I
guarantee they are there, it always is.  Buried but there.
Breathe them in as if they are the air you breathe because
they are yours.  Let go of anything that isn't abundant for
the time being.  Name the shoe boxes in your closet with
your gifts of abundance; pull from them every morning if
needed.  Know they are there.

Learning to trust in your own abundance is required.  Who
else can you more than yourself?  No one.  When you begin to
be within your own space of abundance whatever you need will
appear whenever you need it.  That's just the way the higher
powers set this universe up to work.  Trust the universal
energy.  The knowing of it all will humble you to its power
yet let the brightness of you shine everywhere it needs to.
Just by being from a state of abundance, it is being you.
