All the skill in the world will do us no good if we do
not believe ourselves to be deserving of abundance. It is as simple as that.
On Thursday, I will touch on this as I share insights
on how to build a sustainable business. Not only do I believe skill is
necessary, I know to the depths of my soul belief is absolutely essential to
our success and abundance.
How often do people affirm all their abundance in one
breath, and then in the next breath they say, “How am I going to pay the bills?”
The fact is, there is a source beyond what can be seen,
touched or talked about. It is The Source. It is the manifestation of all we
are deserving of. Yet, so often we invalidate that which is our birthright.
Today, at the Sunday Service of my Spiritual Center, the minister spoke of how powerful we truly are. We are only limited by our thoughts and imagination.
This is so true, but it is our thoughts and imagination
that can also hold us back. I am not speaking of some pie-in-the-sky type of
thought process. For example, if someone has lost a leg to disease or accident,
all the affirmations in the world won’t bring the leg back.
However, if one believes they are whole and complete
with or without the outward evidence, then they are whole and complete.
“Your life is a demonstration of the manifestation of
God working in your life,” as quoted by Reverend Linda from the book, Lean
Forward Into Your Life by Mary Anne Radmacher.
What does your life say? Are you living life to your
fullest potential or are you living in the space of, “I can’t do that because…….”?
Get rid of the excuses and embrace the goodness,
blessings and abundance that are yours. Begin by seeing, recognizing and acknowledging
the good you have in your life; the abundance you experience on so many levels.
It is in the recognition of what is that more is given.
If you believe you cannot or do not have, you will
manifest in a way that you won’t have, thus supporting your belief that you don’t
have.
If you believe that you do have, you will manifest in a
way that you will have, thus supporting your belief that you do have.
This is not simply about material gain. This is simply
about the abundance that abounds all around.
If you think your life is lacking, the quickest way out
of that is gratitude and service. Be in the space of gratitude as you provide
service to another. Service from the heart is the greatest gift we can give
thus multiplying our blessings.
Great post! When we focus on our lack of something - we attract more of what we are lacking. And I like your point about what we need to do if we feel our life is lacking - gratitude and service. Service from the heart IS the greatest gift and we don't even realise it.
thank you for sharing your thoughts with the world - inspiring others is such a great gift to have.
