I have always associated the word/concept of abundance with the word/concept of enough. As in enough resources of something tangible such as money, food, shelter, or even time.
Recently, though, I am reflecting on the concept of abundance within an attitude, a state of mind. Sufficiency as a state of mind. Having an abundant mindset can seep into any aspect of our life. It is impossible to find peace and contentment when we always want more. Feeling deficient, in any capacity, reinforces a scarcity mindset with a belief system based out of fear.
Perhaps we can start to make itty-bitty mental shifts with how we view the many elements in our life. It may be helpful to recognize the opposite feeling when emotions of deficiency emerge in our many life domains:
Lack –> Have
Incomplete –> Complete
Not Enough –> Enough
Desperate –> Appreciate
Obsess –> Relax
Grasp –> Release
Keep –> Give
Control –> Let Go
Fear –> Peace
Scarce –> Plenty
Struggle –> Abundance
If we shift our energy from feeling we HAVE enough, we can shift our feeling about our self to feel confident that we ARE enough.
If we are solid with an identity of BEING enough, we can be in a space to practice acceptance and generosity.
“Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into.”
- Wayne Dyer
Wishing you moments to tune into your abundant life.
Please trust you are enough. Your Festus-area community invites you to show up exactly as you are.

They were just enough to bring the beauty of the outdoors inside to provide me with abundant joy.
