Remaining In Abundance
Money By: Tracy O Flickr
There are many challenges that we face in this economy. With the state of homes, jobs and investments pretty much everyone is feeling the anxiety of the financial down turn. There are strategies and attitudes that can help us get through these times of challenge. They may not immediately change our situation, but they will uplift our mood, attitude and energy level, which is essential when we are feeling overwhelmed.
Abundance flows through us. Our thoughts, our attitudes, our efforts, our energy all effect the flow of abundance in our life. The best attitude is gratitude. Each time money flows to you say “Thank You.” Think Thank You and maintain a grateful attitude. If you receive eight hundred dollars, but you feel you need fifteen hundred to be secure don’t put your energy into what you feel is lacking. Focus your thoughts on being grateful for what you have received and what you can do with this current abundance. A thankful and grateful attitude allows more abundance to flow to you and through you.
Creating abundance requires an open heart and mind. The direction you think abundance will come from may not be the direction it comes from at all. Remain flexible and open to all avenues. For example in my own life I’ve spent time, energy and effort going through the process to substitute teach. I’ve completed all paperwork, submitted all references, licence and just about stood on my head to be approved. It has been nearly three months and I am still waiting for my processing and to be finger printed. After three months of expended energy and effort I still have not earned any money subbing.
Instead I’m keeping myself open to other avenues of revenue. One fell into my lap through a friend’s phone call. She and her husband have begun selling their enormous collection of Cd’s and books on Amazon.com. In one month they have earned two hundred dollars. Like me they are trying to downsize and release excess stuff. After talking to Myscha I realized there are many avenues to creating a cash flow and being open to creative options is the key to staying abundant.
I’m not saying my original plan of subbing won’t work. I’m saying staying open to all options is the best plan in these challenging financial times. If I had closed my mind to to everything else I wouldn’t be downsizing stuff I’ve needed to clear out and I wouldn’t have this gentle flow of abundance from a source I never expected.
An open mind and a willing heart are key. Be willing to think outside the box. Be willing to live outside the box! Be willing to create opportunities in unexpected places. Abundance flows from spirit and there are many avenues it can use. Don’t stay attatched to just one.
