Abundance

Nearly everything I know about abundance & prosperity I learned from Deepak Chopra. His book CREATING AFFLUENCE is a great resource. I know that my abundance is deeply connected to my belief that I am already, in all ways, always abundant and as long as I stay in gratitude the abundance continues. Along the way I learned from my husband that first I must serve myself before I can serve the world....just like the flight attendants tells a parent to first put on their own oxygen mask BEFORE helping the child, we must first make sure that we nourish ourselves on all levels....I believe this includes not just food but time, attention, affection and pleasure (whatever that is for you...sometimes for me its a long bath reading PEOPLE magazine). When we are not experiencing abundance/prosperity it can often be traced back to a belief....a belief that we don’t deserve, aren’t good enough or the (possibly misbegotten) belief that in order to be spiritual we must first give to others. My favorite line from A Course In Miracles is:
“In this moment I have everything that I want and need.” So, regardless of circumstances, if you are in the RIGHT NOW, you can be in the abundance of having enough air to breathe, etc.
