Why do so many of us have such a hard time accepting the abundance that flows into our lives? What makes us feel so undeserving?
I know, in my own experience, it was how I was raised. A person only achieves prosperity through hard work. That was my family’s unspoken motto, and what I followed for years. Funny thing though, once I started pushing forty, was the realization that hard work was, well, hard. My body was starting to take exception to the sore and stiff muscles. My heart no longer wanted to take on the responsibilities of working a professional job. It was time for me to take a new look at things and shift my attitude toward the meaning of abundance.
One day I read an article about graciously accepting gifts and recognizing them for just that, gifts. Saying thank you and fully receiving what was being given. I took it to heart and cracked the door open within myself and soon found that a wonderful energy was waiting to walk through that door.
Abundance is a willing partner. One that quietly waits for us to say,”Yes, be with me. Fill me up.” It is a partner which accepts our vulnerabilities with gentleness and safe space. We just have to recognize this and give our trust to the relationship.
It isn’t always easy, no relationship is. Yet, when I have faltered in my belief in abundance, I have always found it waiting for me to come back. Ready to enfold me again in it’s embrace.
Belief in abundance can take a big leap of faith, and that can be a very scary thing. Yet I have found that there has been a safety net tied underneath me when I have made that jump. Sometimes it has felt like a long fall before I was safely caught, but it has been there.
I believe in Abundance and appreciate what it brings into my life. Do you?
