Rooted in the Reality of Having Enough

When we are firmly rooted in real­ity, we do not see prob­lems, but oppor­tu­ni­ties every­where. We reg­is­ter abun­dance wher­ever we look … Right now, I see an abun­dance of green grass, trees, water, light, fur­nish­ings, food, sky, air … the list goes on and on …

It is only when our minds run away with us into future angst, ask­ing “what if” ques­tions, that we suffer.

What if I don’t have enough?”

What if I lose everything?”

What if I get sick?”

On & on the mind runs, rob­bing us of the sup­port that is vis­i­bly avail­able for us right NOW.

Real­ity is that which is hap­pen­ing right NOW and it is always suf­fi­cient to the day!

To tap into that suf­fi­ciency we must focus our thoughts on the “enough­ness” of this moment … by ques­tion­ing any thought that takes us away, into the non-existent future. (Remem­ber, future and past ONLY exists in the mind … they are not REAL places!)

Focus on hav­ing enough, use life chal­lenges as oppor­tu­ni­ties to cul­ti­vate grat­i­tude, and the path of suf­fi­ciency will align you with the road to abundance.
