You live in abundance!
Yes, you do. You simply need to see the abundance and prosperity that surround you.
If you can’t, you have a ‘poverty’ mentality. With a poverty mentality, you are always thinking about the things you don’t have. Too often people lose their mind with the ‘poverty’ mentality.
They don’t see that what they already have is considerably more than what they don’t have.
That is the interesting thing about abundance; you don’t appreciate the abundance and prosperity you do have until it is gone.
You have family and friends. You have a home. You have food and water. You have LIFE!
Think about one of these abundance that you take for granted and imagine your life without it. Imagine if you could not to get clean running water from your faucet each time you were thirsty or wanted to wash something.
Imagine your life having to walk to the water well and pull out buckets of water which you have to carry back in order to have something to drink.
Here is an wonderful except from a poem that underscores this concept well.
“I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more” – Bob Perks
It would not be a stretch to say you take the sun for granted. Think about what life would be like without the sun.
Only when you have enough rain do people appreciate the sunny days.
Don’t wait for rain. Be grateful for the abundance and prosperity you do have, because you never know when it will be gone.
Look at your life differently and begin noticing how beautiful it is right now. You are wealthy and you are surrounded by a lot of blessings. Appreciate those blessings.

Abundance and Prosperity: 3 Powerful Tips to Attract Abundance and Prosperity in Your Life
Any success-driven person wants to know the secret of attracting abundance and prosperity in their life. Unfortunately, it seems that almost everyone is too busy focusing on what they don’t have instead of actively attracting what they want.
But don’t worry. In this article, I will share with you the secret to manifesting abundance and prosperity.
You don’t need to have a lot of money right now in order to gain more in the future. All you need to do is follow these simple steps.
Stop Being Negative
Somehow, you can’t seem to get these negative aspects out of your mind. You’re worried about your bill. You **** your job and your salary.
These thoughts won’t do you any good at all. Instead of attracting abundance and prosperity, you’re almost sending out a beacon of light to all your worries.
Stop thinking about them! When a negative thought slips into your mind, simply say “Delete, delete, delete!” then turn your thoughts to positive matters.
Start Thinking of the Opportunities
Instead of dwelling on what you don’t have, focus on what you’re grateful for. A great way to do this is to make a list of your blessings.
This is actually a pretty helpful exercise in attracting abundance and prosperity because it allows you to become more conscious of what you have. By doing this, you’re pulling more wonderful opportunities your way.
Adopt A Morning Mantra
In order to keep yourself in good spirits, you can also accompany your breakfast with a morning mantra.
You don’t have to chant ohms and ahms like Tibetan monks. All you have to do is write an affirmation of what you want this day to be like.
Then, repeat it to yourself for around five or ten times in front of the mirror. This way, you’re programming abundance and prosperity to come into your life.
When attracting abundance and prosperity, don’t limit yourself to just material gain. While it’s nice to have more money or power, you might want to think of improving your own relationships and spirituality as well.

8 Steps to Stay Abundant During Hard Times
May 9, 2007 by Zimmaron
Filed under Uncategorized
There’s more than enough money in the world to get you through hard times. That’s the first thing to keep in mind during financial troubles. I went through some tough conditions several times in my life and I’m still amazed at how I got through them. I’ve put together some tips you could use to get you moving forward again.
1. OPERATE FROM THE MINDSET OF ABUNDANCE. This is the best way to set the stage on staying abundant amidst financial crisis. The Abundant Mindset begins by believing that there is more than enough supply of anything and everything for anyone and everyone at anytime, every time.
2. PROCEED BY MAKING A CHECKLIST OF WHAT YOU NEED TO GET YOU THROUGH THE WEEK AND PRIORITIZE. Be specific when you identify the items and include the day you need it the most (e.g. income generating activity by next week, five hundred dollars for electricity by Friday and the like). You may put them in columns for easy reading.
3. FOLLOW IT UP WITH A LIST OF PEOPLE WHO COULD HELP YOU ACCESS THE SPECIFIC ITEMS YOU NEED. The best people who could help you are members of your family and close friends. Include them in the list for they are blessings provided for you. If you know people who may have direct contact with influential individuals whose help you need then include them in the list as well.
4. EXPRESS THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR SITUATION. Communicate with the people on the list and tell them about your present condition. It may not be an easy task for it requires you to be vulnerable. Do it anyway, for the process in itself helps you heal whatever wounds you may have incurred in the recent past. In my case, it healed a broken relationship with a family member. No matter how uncomfortable it may be, the fact remains that we do need the wisdom and resources of others to help us succeed in life. I’m sure you’ve helped others before and maybe these same people are just waiting for an opportunity to help you in return. Give them that chance.
5. BE OPEN AND WILLING TO TAKE ON NEW WAYS OF GETTING THINGS DONE. Accept whatever these family members or friends can offer. If they can give advice then accept the advice willingly and consider them in your decision making. If they offer more than you expected then by all means receive it with gladness and joy. Dr. Deepak Chopra has said “Receiving is as necessary as giving. To graciously receive is an expression of the dignity of giving”. Be willing to take the necessary actions that go along with the assistance they offer you. If it need be that you learn a new skill or do something beyond your comfort zone then take the challenge with pride. Approach the task as one that brings hope and faith.
6. VIEW EVERY ACTIVITY AS ONE FILLED WITH OPPORTUNITY AND VALUABLE LESSONS. Remember that the power to recreate the self anew comes as more knowledge and wisdom is gained through experience. Notice the abundance of knowledge and skills presented to you with every act you decide to take. The process then becomes an exciting adventure of personal growth and maybe even professional growth.
7. BE GRATEFUL EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. Stay connected to the Source of all abundance by having a grateful heart and more of that which you appreciate will come into your life. Moving with the attitude of gratitude will surely bring in more opportunities to develop, increase, grow and bear fruit.
8. KNOW THAT ALL IS WELL IN LOVE. You are an individual with the power to turn your life around for it is inherent in man to create a better life for himself and his family to express love. Love has motivated you through all the steps. Let it be the strong foundation with which you now live your life.
Be proud of what you’ve accomplished by following the eight steps. Through it all you have learned to stay abundant during hard times. The “hard times” now begin to transform into “growing times” and that is part of what we call living the Abundance Lifestyle.
