I have lived a life where I never really needed much to be happy. Material things never truly impressed me, someway and somehow, I always got what I wanted. The latest handbag didn’t appeal to me, didn’t need to stay trendy to feel beautiful and the practical person in me always chose quality because quantity takes space.
Having said that, I always find myself with a lot that I am able to give away. The honor of living a life of abundance, the more I am able to give away, the more I have been able to give. I am not sure how it somehow just worked out that way.
In my daily exchanges with people, it made me realize that the world we live in is so shallow. I have been asked about manifestations, meditations and abundance. The biggest manifestation question is, “How do you meditate to manifest abundance and wealth?” So I take a deep breath and ask them about their intentions are and what their idea of abundance is. The answer is usually the same or similar versions of how do they get more money. How do they get or find love?
What people don’t realize is this, while these are all external factors, they like to believe that once they have this money or this love that they will finally be happy. They keep looking for external and material things to fulfill that void inside.
When asked about whether I meditate for abundance, the answer is no. I live a life of abundance, I have a beautiful home, I have a job that I enjoy going to everyday, I have cupboards overflowing with food and clothing. I am abundantly blessed. Most of all I am grateful. The more grateful I am, the more abundance I have, the more abundance I have, the more I have to share.
Grateful to just take that breath every morning, to remind me that I am still alive. What a wonderful miracle it is, to just be alive and to be able to live and to love.
