MaXIMIze - Abundance vs. Lack

As we move through the season of Lent, we should ponder if we are coming from a place of abundance or from a place of lack.

What we perceive and believe we achieve.

If we think and feel we are small, we draw small things into our lives.

If we believe in big things and that we can do big things, we draw big things into our lives.

For example, some of my biggest issues have been in the area of money, of finances. A lot of that is mired in my childhood. I'd ask for something specific that I wanted and I would get either what my parents thought they could afford, or - and closer to reality - what they thought I "ought" to have. So I learned that perhaps I wasn't worthy of having what I truly wanted, and that I could never afford it anyway. So, for many years, I settled.

I settled for perceived security instead of true partnership in relationships.

I settled for second hand or second class items instead of what it was I really wanted to have.

I settled for a multitude of things rather than true abundance - the kind that comes from non-material things.

I settled for a life of lack instead of a life of abundance.

My soul, my Self, never settled though. She was always restless, always knowing there was more for me out there. She just had to wait until enough tools came into my life and enough belief came into my mind and heart to push me toward that abundance.

That relationship with money I touched on earlier? Well, now I truly believe what I clipped from a program at a Center for Spiritual Living service nearly ten years ago now. It says:

Is money a naughty word?

No, it just means

More
Opulent
Natural
Energy
Yeah!

During the last month of last year, a long and painful chapter in my financial story hit its climax. There are still some loose ends to tie up, as there are at the end of every story, however, I am truly ready to move on to the next chapter in my financial life and good things are already happening in that area!

So, what is appearing in your life - a sense of abundance or a sense of lack?

Ponder that for the week and see what truths come to you…

With next week comes March and the topics of motivation, unintended consequences, sowing seeds, and planning.
