Recognizing the abundance of love in our lives is such a feel-good! We instantly soften when we think of our loved ones, and maybe actually even smile a bit on the outside too. My guess is that your favorite person in the world has already come to mind. (Mine, too.) And then, the next and the next and the next of our favorite people in the world can’t help but pop into our heads. (Mine, too.) Lines are blurred between family and friends, because really, in the sense of true connection they’re the same.
You have popped into someone else’s head, by the way.
But wait, there’s even more love in our lives too. We just might not have been seeing it:
I actually have a lot of time. I have 24 hours every day. I have 60 minutes every hour. Further, I have 60 seconds every minute.
And so do you.
And yet, it’s very easy to feel like there’s not enough time.
When will I get the house cleaned? I would love to learn how to play that musical instrument, but I really don’t have time. Sounds like a great read, just add it to my endless stack of books to get to! Yah, I know I need to reach out to that friend, soon. I just need to get caught up on some stuff, first.
How about this: it’s actually not about how much time we have, it’s about how we use the time that we have.
Holy wow, I feel my body softening instantly with that statement.
I’ve noticed A Thing about abundance and wealth. Many of us spiritual types are all over the word Abundance, but we shy away from the word Wealth. As if money is somehow not included in abundance.
Abundance? That’s all about the qualitites of expansion, plentifulness, bounty, prosperity. As in, feeling abundant with love, friends, joy, and so on. The immaterial things we value and prioritize.
Wealth? That seems to just mean money. And that? That’s material. We feel we’re not supposed to prioritize the material, right?
What if we’ve had it wrong? What if abundance and wealth are synonymous? What if material and immaterial all are part of our Spiritual Whole?
