Who doesn’t want to be rich? Even the very rich want to be even richer and those who do not want excessive financial wealth still want an abundance of some other thing in their lives. Be it in finances, health or relationships – abundance and prosperity is what everybody aspires to have.
Being abundant means different things for every person. Let us concentrate on the financial aspect of abundance. Let’s say Tom has always used his bicycle for traveling, business, etc. Finally owning his own car will be extremely significant for him. However, if his friend Dick who has always driven cars heard about John’s windfall, he wouldn’t be too impressed. A personal jet would be what prosperity is to him. And for Harry who owns a couple of planes, maybe an island will be the summit of success.
You see what I mean? Every Tom, Dick and Harry has his own different but equally valid definition of success. It is a deeply personal matter which is a sensitive subject for a lot of people. If you are finding yourself stuck and not moving towards your vision of prosperity, then decide now to achieve it no matter what. Being at the right place and time is important, but it will always be up to you to determine your future.
How do we go about doing that? Well, first of all we need to know what exactly we are talking about. What is the meaning of abundance? Abundance is defined as having an overflowing fullness and ample sufficiency of resources. It is not only having your needs met, you have more than enough besides.
Imagine a large empty glass on a table. Water is poured into it but it doesn’t stop at the rim. It spills outside the glass onto the table and down its sides. This is abundance, an overflowing of what you allow to put inside your life. But you think, ‘That’s crazy talk. You mean to tell me, I need to allow money in my life so I can get more money? I don’t even have money in the first place!’
You are right. You don’t have the money you want in your life-yet. Walk this thought through with me. Abundance and prosperity as people understand it, is having the actual riches or possessions in your hand. What not enough people know that prosperity actually begins in your mind. So what do you do, begin thinking of yourself rich. Purpose your thoughts to what you aspire to be. Believe you are rich.
I have never seen a poor man with a rich mindset remain poor. In fact, look up on some of the world’s billionaires and you will find many climbed up the ladder of success because they had a vision of what they want to be-or more to the point, who they believed they ought to be. If you see this clearly, unclouded by circumstantial factors like education, background and differing opinions; then no one cannot stop overflowing prosperity from pursuing you.
A wise man once said, ‘If you can believe it, it can be done.’ Strong words for some, but it still rings true today. Abundance means peace and freedom- and you can have it today.
