Does the idea of attracting abundance, having all you want and more sound great? Unfortunately, I would venture to say that most people think that abundance is for the rich, the few, and the elite. It is not that we don't want abundance in our life. It is simply that abundance often seems unattainable. The sad truth is that most people simply don't see abundance as a possibility for themselves. And we all know that what we can't "see" we can't "have."

This common but unproductive way of viewing the world is what I refer to as a "scarcity" mentality. A person living in scarcity "sees" their world through a veil that filters out the prevailing abundance that surrounds them. Naturally, when we operate from this vantage point, our experience of the world is one of scarcity. How can it not be?

Most of us were raised to believe that life is a constant struggle. We were endlessly reminded that there is a price to pay for everything good we experience. It's the "no pain, no gain" syndrome. The good news is  that you can live in abundance ! You just have to learn to "tune in" to it!  The key is to begin thinking and living in a new perspective.

"The world is has more than enough money, resources, love and joy and all of it is mine for the taking."

One reason people find themselves struggling and living in scarcity, which is the opposite of abundance, is that they have been made to believe that "there's not enough to go around." However, this couldn't be further from the truth. There is enough! There are billions of dollars circulating in the economy, more than enough food and companies that are still hiring. If it is challenging at this time to find employment, there are countless opportunities to start your own business. But unless you believe it, live it, and "see" it as a possibility in your life, you won't recognize it. Not even when it's smack dab in front of you.

Wayne Dyer summarized this beautifully when he said, "Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into."
Simply recognize that it is there and has been there all along. It has merely been waiting for you to open your heart, mind and spirit to the "more than enough" surrounding you every moment. This abundance is always available to you, to each of us.

"But," you may be asking, "How do I make the shift from scarcity mentality to abundant thinking and attraction?" In order to begin adopting and incorporating this "world of plenty" abundance perspective you must first "choose" it. That's right, abundance, like most things in our life, is a choice. You can begin right now being very intentional about choosing to view your life, your experiences, and your world as being full of abundance.

At first this is a moment-to-moment choice. But as you choose abundant thinking and begin attracting all of the "more than enough" that awaits you, you will find yourself intuitively "knowing" rather than "choosing to see" that abundance is in front of you at every turn.

Take Action Now

Be aware of the abundance that surrounds you

Keep this awareness at the forefront of your consciousness. Keeping your focus on the abundance surrounding you will take time and effort. Eventually you will find that the more intentional you are about creating this new mindset, the more abundance you will begin to attract and experience in your life.
