I invite myself to grow my sense of abundance in these ways…
Be a stream, not a swamp. Remember, it is the mountain stream that carries fresh, life-giving water because it flows out. However, the swamp is stagnant. A swamp collects and retains water that comes its way. Don’t be the kind of person who seeks to accumulate much before allowing a little to flow through.
When I own things I don’t use—clothes, furniture, even books—spiritual teachers will say that those things don’t belong to me. I need to let them go find their rightful owners.
When I lose track of a sense of “enough-ness,” it becomes a sickness of the spirit, and I start feeling stagnant, anxious and swampy. I heal my spirit by finding abundance in what is already there, and by keeping it flowing like a stream.
