The Abundance Mindset


When you accept that you make mistakes
And you don’t look for someone to blame
You will have a better chance of reaching abundance in your life
Instead of making the same painful mistakes again and again.
__

Change what you do by force of habit, dear reader
Change the words you say and the actions you repeat, time after time
Change all the repeated actions that have not been serving you well
Change what you think, say, and do in the daily hours of your time.

__

When you are grateful for what you have
And you stop letting comparisons with others cause you strife
You will discover it is a stepping stone to less pain and disappointment
And the path to living a more abundant life.
__

Change what you do by force of habit, dear reader
Change the words you say and the actions you repeat, time after time
Change all the repeated actions that have not been serving you well
Change what you think, say, and do in the daily hours of your time.

__

When you are willing to see things for what they are
And to fix what you need to alter or repair
You will no longer go round and round in a cycle of missteps and misunderstandings
And you will find yourself breathing a more abundant air.
__

Change what you do by force of habit, dear reader
Change the words you say and the actions you repeat, time after time
Change all the repeated actions that have not been serving you well
Change what you think, say, and do in the daily hours of your time.

__

When you are prepared to see things from a different angle
And not just from what your heart desires, and what your head thinks
When you step out of a deprivation mentality
You will discover what an abundant mindset can bring.
__

Change what you do by force of habit, dear reader
Change the words you say and the actions you repeat, time after time
Change all the repeated actions that have not been serving you well
Change what you think, say, and do in the daily hours of your time.
__

Aim to become healthier and to deal with disappointments more rationally and compassionately
Aim to develop your body, soul, and mind
Aim to replace old habits with new positive ones
Aim to find yourself in a more abundant place, one thought at a time.
__

Better your chances, dear reader
Find someone to imitate or to listen to, rather than just the voice inside
Imitate those with a sense of abundance, and do what they are prepared to do
Set sail for the more abundant side.
__

Set sail with a cargo of changed ideas
Set sail with a cargo of abundant, life-giving habits and views
Don’t think you know the answer to everything, dear reader
You don't, because if you did, you wouldn't be in your shoes.
__

Change what you do by force of habit, dear reader
Change the words you say and the actions you repeat, time after time
Change all the repeated actions that have not been serving you well
Change what you think, say, and do in the daily hours of your time.

__

Take my words to your heart, dear reader
Take the focus on abundance to your heart
Replace a deprivation mindset with an abundant one
Today is the perfect day to start.
__

Change what you do by force of habit, dear reader
Change the words you say and the actions you repeat, time after time
Change all the repeated actions that have not been serving you well
Change what you think, say, and do in the daily hours of your time.

__

So they won’t cause the same problems for you or anybody else
So they won't cause the same problems for you or anybody else time after time
Make the change in your heart, mind and spirit, dear reader
Come out of the dark, stormy clouds of disgruntlement
Set sail for the abundance sunshine.

__

Dear reader, wishing you a speedy journey into the abundance sunshine.
In your heart, mind, and spirit.
That's where it matters!

Busy Busy Busy



Busy, busy, busy

Busy with work

Busy with work that anyone can do

__

Thinking it's all you can do

All you can do.

__

Busy, busy, busy

Making money and paying bills

In ways that may not be aligned with what's sacred or important to you

What's sacred or important to you

__

Thinking there's nothing you can do

Nothing you can do.

__

Busy, busy, busy

Paying for and maintaining

The big house, the relatively new car, the sparkling shiny things

Ignoring the joy and meaning that simple (and in many cases free) things bring

Simple and free things bring.

__

Busy, busy, busy

Keeping up with Facebook , Instagram, Twitter, the boasts, the whines, the shouts for hours and hours a day

Looking for validation, fearing you might be left out, or no one may care what you have to say.

__

Giving so much of your power, freedom, and well-being away

Power, freedom, and well-being away.

__

Busy, busy, busy

Playing the game of life by other people's rules

Using other people's yardsticks to decide what is cool.

__

The perfect address, the perfect looks, the perfect rituals

The perfect address, the perfect looks, the perfect rituals

__

Wanting to give off the appearance of being well-heeled or cool

Well-heeled or cool.

__

Busy, busy, busy

Letting the shows and ads on tv pull your strings

Giving into ever new ways to throw money down the sink.

__

Bigger, better, more convenient, more cool, so fetching, so yummy

Newer and newer ways to be enticed, to throw money down the sink, to keep you ever on the financial brink.

__

And this is how an unsatisfying life takes on a life of its own

Holding us hostage in a joyless, hopeless, profitless zone

Where we sing a false song with a jaded melody, beat, and tone

And what’s worse, all it does is to make us feel all alone

Feel all alone.

Feel all alone.

__

Until the day we decide to be brave, change direction, and say enough is enough

I’ve had it. This is too much.

Simple and real is better

I’m done with all this pretense and all this stuff.

__

That is our first day of freedom!
