What's Your State of Mind?

In light of today's date, I suppose that you would question me if I affirmed that there is enough abundance to go around - right? Why is that? Is it because we have been conditioned to believe that only a select few will reach the personal and financial goals that they aspire to? Or because we have bought into the saying that "if something seems too good to be true, it is", and believing that abundance abounds would certainly seem too good to be true. What if abundance began and ended with you ... with your thoughts, your beliefs, and your actions? Would you be more apt to embrace the belief? Ironically, the abundance that shows up in your life, or the lack of it, is directly correlated to you and your beliefs. Abundance is everywhere. Like Niagara Falls, in its natural state it is a constant flow, plentiful, only diminishing when tampered with. Abundance follows the same principle. It exists for everyone that keeps an open mind and does not diminish the flow. Besides Niagara Falls, can you think of another example of abundance? What about air we breathe? Or perhaps the choices that are ours to make? Both of these abound.

If abundance seems to be missing in your life, what is your current state of mind? Are you addressing all of the things you would like to have but do not? If so, you are perpetuating lack and pushing abundance further from your reality. In the One Minute Millionaire, Mark Victor Hansen and Robert G.
