Claim Your Right To Abundance

Many people go around in a state of want and lack. They feel like if they have the right hair, body, face, clothes, or the right amount of money, they’d be set for happiness and therefore, a life of abundance. Certainly, marketing media would love to bank on this belief.
(A leaf from my scrapbook album to remind me to “just go for it!”)
Product sellers and service providers make millions of dollars based on people’s insecurities. Constantly bombarded by pictures of grandeur, consumers are left to wonder if they would be complete after making an additional purchase. Myths are perpetuated as a result.
What is being left out in the marketing messages is that we do not need the right shade of hair, face lift, boob job, designer clothes, mind-blogging gadget or lots of money to be happy. We need not wait for an external event to happen before we can feel joyful. We do not withhold any chance to celebrate just because we are “not there” yet. Neither is success or abundance dependent on the attainment of an outcome. In fact, we can have a life of abundance if we can just believe that we are already abundant and very deserving of love, happiness or whatever abundance means to us.
In a way, we may end up feeling somewhat fulfilled immediately after a buy. However, the sense of satisfaction does not usually last very long. Fulfillment from materialistic desires seldom have no permanence. We are left with a hollow feeling after a while. It’s when the craving for more starts. The cycle repeats with more hankering. And more money being made by the big establishments out of our ignorance and insecurity.
Your Mental Screen of Abundance
When you close your eyes, what do you imagine? On your mental canvas, do you dream of a life of abundance and then think of 50 reasons why it could never happen for you? Do you have beliefs of unworthiness or that you are not deserving? When you let the universe know that you are not entitled to have the happiness you deserve, then you will prove yourself right. On the other hand, when you close your eyes, and imagine yourself having all that you dream of and desire, and you allow yourself to live in that experience, then you are saying that you are entitled to have it.
This can apply to anything in your life. Should you feel inferior in any way, and think that you don’t deserve any better, you won’t get better. To proclaim your right to abundance, you first need to work on your sense of worthiness. You need to have faith, trust and belief that you are just as deserving as anyone else. Think of all those who have succeeded even though they come from dismal backgrounds. They place their energy on thoughts and feelings that would lead them to positive outcomes. And they go on to lead lives of abundance.
To already feel abundant, even when you are “not there” yet, is not an exactly easy thing to do for most. A good place to start is to examine if you have bought into any of the marketing myths. You will need to ask what abundance really means to you. Is it about the attainment of financial wealth, driving a new car or having love, peace, freedom, and joy? Admittedly, you do need to have a certain amount of money to enjoy a certain level of modern-day comforts. However, focusing on the right thoughts will help you with the energetic tweak you need. It is your inner state of abundance that drives your outer experience. When you focus on the qualitative aspects of the experience that you hope to have rather than the money or the end result, you are more likely to be successful in manifesting what you hope for.
Truly when you think about it, it is not the money, Tiffany diamond rings, the Jimmy Choo shoes, or the latest ipad that would mean the world to you. You don’t need these to feel abundant. You can already feel abundant because you already are. Just review your gratitude journal to re-count your blessings! Hence, you can see how worthy you are to already enjoy all that you have to-date.

P.S. In the book that I am currently writing, I share about the universal principles of abundance. Knowing what these are can help to shatter the myths that we currently buy into. Due to new challenges that have cropped up, the book is still not ready yet. Oh well, I hope to get them addressed as soon as possible. Stay tuned for more news!

Hello Raul,
I do realize that it can be a long road. Then again, I would also like to believe that anything can happen. Let’s open ourselves to the possibility that more of us can come to appreciate the good around us and be constantly reminded about our abundance!
Abundance always,
Evelyn
