The Law of Abundance

There is this idea that a lot of people have. It is the idea that if someone else has success, it somehow detracts from your ability to have success. If someone else’s life is going wonderfully and things seem to always work out for them, it means that there is less of that goodness available for you.

This is simply not true! I want to talk about abundance. It’s the idea that there is more than enough available out in the world for ALL of us to have the success and happiness that we want. Everything you ever want for yourself already exists in the universe. All of the love, money, joy and happiness that you seek already exists. So it is more about aligning yourself and your life with the correct people and places and things to acquire the things that you want. I love this principle! I used to think that if I saw someone having success in a way that I also hoped to have success, I would not be able to be successful because that person had already taken the allotment of that particular success. But I have learned over these last few years that that is simply ridiculous. Think of the sun. There is only one. And yet it has the ability to heat the entire earth! There is sunlight aplenty for every tree, flower and plant that needs it. All of the crops can grow, the forests grow and reproduce with the sunlight. We have light and warmth in our lives. ALL of us! Not just a few of us.

 There are different seasons. Some of the earth is in winter while some is in summer. The law of opposition still has an effect as well. But even in the winter, we still get sunshine and warmth. Even if it is less at that moment than the sunshine and warmth on the other side of the world, it is still there! The potential for the summer warmth is always there. We just have to be patient and wait a few months and it will come back to us. And while we sit in the scorching heat, Australia experiences fall and winter. A time and a season! We all must realize that the potential for every good thing we desire is there. Out there for us to grasp. We just need to figure out how to align ourselves with it.

“To Everything there is a Season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:1. KJV

There is a time and a season for everything. Times of plenty and times of want. This is true on a global scale but also in our own lives. We go through times of complete abundance and blessings. And we go through times where we feel we are lost in the desert with no end in sight and no water or food. There must be opposition in all things, including the law of abundance. We have the potential to have all of the good things we want in the universe, but just because we believe that and work for it doesn’t mean it will come easily or quickly. This is where patience comes in. And working to be happy NOW no matter if we are in the winter or the summer or somewhere in between. You can have everything you want, but you have to be willing to stand on your own two feet and WORK for it! There is sunshine for every garden but the gardens that have the most abundance are the ones that are worked in! You can’t plant a garden and then leave it alone. It needs water, sunlight, dirt and love. It needs you to weed it and nurture it and give it attention. Sometimes you have to prune away the excess in order for the plants to grow to their full potential. (Gosh, I love metaphors.) The point is, you CAN do it! You can do anything you set your mind to. I quote that great American Classic Film, “Back to the Future,” “if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything!”

It’s so true.

The thing is, you have to believe that you are worthy of the abundance. I believe that this is where a lot of people become hung up. Deep down, you don’t really believe that you are worthy of the things that you want. You think, “who am I to receive such goodness??” I am here to tell you, YOU DESERVE ALL THE GOODNESS IN THE UNIVERSE!

The poet Rumi says, “Stop acting so small, you are the universe in ecstatic motion.”

I am on his side here for sure. You are stardust. Inside of your body is carbon and other molecules that have been a part of the universe since it’s creation. You have the divine within you as well as the biological workings of the world and all its history! YOU. ARE. WORTHY! You are no less worthy than any other person. It doesn’t matter what your societal or political ranking is. That is a concept that is created completely in the mind. We are all born, we all live and we all die. We are equals.

Jane Eyre says it so well, “I am not speaking to you through mortal flesh, it is my spirit that addresses your spirit. As if we passed through the grave and stood at God’s feet equal---as we are!”

We are equals. Should I say it again?? WE ARE EQUALS!! Everything that you want and desire for your life is already in existence. It is out there and you CAN find it. It will be a journey and you will have to work but it can happen. I am in your corner. There is enough sunshine for you, me and everyone else. We have the potential to become all of the things that we desire in the deepest corners of our hearts and minds.

Don’t forget that.

Love,
