Accepting Abundance

For 2019, I wish the entire world ‘abundance.’ Whether it is financial abundance, relationship abundance, career abundance, social abundance, spiritual abundance…well, you get the picture. May your life overflow with abundance, as defined by you. But here’s the thing, in order for this world-vision wish to come true, everyone must open their hands and accept the gift.

You’ve heard the expression, “It is better to give than receive.” Well, apparently, we really do take that to heart – to the detriment of ourselves. To put it bluntly, most of us stink at receiving. We are happy to give, but we are uncomfortable when the tables are turned. And yet (long pause for effect), we sit there and wonder why we don’t receive more from this life. Well, here’s the thing, if you are unable to enthusiastically receive that which you are given (a compliment, a hug, love, friendship, a raise, freedom, happiness, etc.); then why the heck would more ‘goodness’ head your way?

So, consider equaling out the scales when it comes to giving and receiving. Put them in balance. Say ‘yes’ to the world and all its gifts. Simply choose. Choose to accept the gift of abundance.
