Day 63 of 400 "Abundance"

So I was in the shower this morning and this little voice asked me, "What does it feel like to win the lottery"? I quickly thought, well I don't know. Then the voice said, "If you don't know how it feels like then how will you ever know when it is there"? Again, I didn't know.....so I sat there thinking about what this voice was trying to get to. It basically wanted me to take ownership of a feeling and said it was through this feeling that would allow me to know that I was not only attracting this into my life, but that I was this. It's a feeling of "PEACE". That was interesting that came up for me because that's how I have been seeing myself lately. There are storms all around me and I'm staying calm within the storms. This is pissing some people off though because they see me as not caring about the situation/incident around me. This is not true. We are more assistance to others when we are calm.

So this conversation continued to take place as I drove to Greenville this morning to have breakfast with my friend Carol. As I was telling her my story and about how the voice also showed me how to figure out what it was I wanted and how to get that she said this, "Basically what they are saying is, "Why should you be rewarded with excess if you don't know what that is, or what excess is?" I knew exactly what she was talking about. I mean if we only know what we need to survive, live, or take care of our basic needs then this is what we will have. However, if we know what it is that we need and can see that plus know we can receive more then we get that also.

After our discussion it came back to a point that I made 3 years ago while teaching a class on abundance and that is this, "You are abundant in whatever you do. You can be just as abundant in lack as you can in wealth, health and happiness, it's all a choice." So when someone tells me that they lack this and that then I know they are abundantly experiencing their choice of lack. There is no wrong or right in it because it's their choice.

What the voice was sharing with me through my head and through my friend is this, "Knowing how to stay peaceful as abundance grows within your life allows for direction and options. When we stay peaceful we see more options. When we know that we are experiencing abundance and give thanks for that, we receive more abundance."

So the next time you are experiencing lack of something give thanks for that because you created it to know your options. God knows I've had my share of experiences regarding lack, but each time brought me to a new beginning and a new option. Even if that option meant to accept what I was experiencing in the moment to gain more knowledge, awareness and understanding.

This process wasn't about winning the lottery, the universe could care less about that. But what it did want was for me to be fully aware of how peace allows me to witness my abundance. And like my friend said this morning, "You're already abundant. Anytime that we make a CHOICE is abundance." Think about that today! This can apply to anyone in any situation. So anytime you are making a choice know that you are experiencing your abundance.

Ego: I enjoy my freedom of choice and this feels freeing. I know this is always there for me whether I choose to see it or not is of my own doing. I gain awareness while losing nothing.

Spirit: I am free choice and feel free to always choose being aware in everything.

Wow...this about that for a moment. If you are not aware of your choices then how can you make a choice at all. So a big part of this lesson appears to be, also saying, that the more you know the more choices you have. Maybe that's the reality of why so many people surrender their power, their rights, and give up and allow someone else to just do it for them. Doing it for ourselves takes energy, focus, and power. How powerful are you? What are you bringing into your life that you want?

Enjoy,
