Can We Have Abundance In Our Lives?

By Ingrid Courts

Before we can ask for abundance in our lives we need to know what it is. To truly feel abundance you must feel satisfied and happy with the money, health and relationships that you have in your life. Having these three things can really help us to live life to the fullest in everything that we do. Lots of people seem to think that having lots of money or just winning the lottery will bring them great happiness and abundance of course this is not true, although it may bring temporary happiness.

Material things cannot create a state of true happiness in one's own self for any lengthy period of time. They can create a source of insecurity and in some cases replace feelings of love or guilt. Have you ever heard of a mega rich tycoon being happy with just one super car? Probably not. If you had abundance in your life there would not be this need for constant self gratification.

So you may think to yourself I have a good job paying really good money and I am quite well off. I can buy whatever I see in the shops; go anywhere I want for holidays and maybe eat out wherever and whenever I want. Having lots of money and doing what I want with it sounds great doesn't it? Well yes and no. Only if you have abundance will it mean total fulfilment in your life.

We don't want to earn more money or chase the dream of winning the lottery neither are we embarrassed if we earn more than those around us just because we are good at our job or enjoy doing our job. As demonstrated there are many ways of reaching this feeling of wealth once you have reached this stage and understood its true meaning can you begin to understand that true feeling of abundance.

So now you say well I am financially well off I can afford what most people can't, I should count myself lucky right? Wrong! If you said well I am well of drive a nice car, own my own house have a great network of friends and a gorgeous wife and three kids. Surely I must have abundance in my life if I have money and friends and family? You still probably do not.

Ask yourself these questions: Do you feel happy inside? Do you worry about your health? Are you overweight or suffer any medical issues like high blood pressure or even stress? In all probability you may feel that not everything now is rosy in your life.

Looking after your body is only one half of your health and getting closer to achieving that feeling of abundance. You need to look after your mind. Stressing out over the littlest things or worrying about those things which are simply not in your control, will not help you. You need to find a way of healing your mind and reaching that abundant feeling.

Imagine you were wealthy with lots of money and a picture of physical health but with no true love or friends that cared about you? Now think what it would be like to feel satisfied with your income, feel healthy and have great family, friends and a partner. Still want to be rich or do you want that awesome feeling of abundance?
