Abundance Is Real

The abundance available to all life forms is staggering. Every time I look out the window, take a drive, go shopping, or visit the library I witness this. It is absolutely impossible for me to meet every person, read every book, taste every food, and hear every note played or sung in my lifetime. But I can achieve some of these things every day. And I can share the abundance I enjoy with another person - EVERY DAY.

For I am the only one who can do these things for me. God gave me the gift of free will, which is to me the ultimate gift. It gives me the freedom to think, believe, and act according to what I know to be true in this moment. God's relationship to us as humans is fundamentally one of freedom to love and serve Him and others or not.

How then have human beings inacted laws and systems that take away these freedoms? Some laws are necessary for a civil society because some humans have taken free will to mean they can do things to and against others. There are more than enough laws to deal with this behavior and I only mention it here to recognize that need. But telling another person what they can read or believe or how to raise their children is tyranny and should never be tolerated.

The challenge I put before myself and others is to take this gift of free will very seriously. We must all take ownership of our thoughts by choosing carefully what to read and believe. We must look at who we are individually and what our goals are for ourselves. We are not victims but co-authors with God of the lives we create.

What changes would you like to see in your world? Do you want to see more love, more sharing, more personal wealth for the freedom to be, do, and have more than you ever have before. The key word is more. We were created for more. With the abundance you see all around, more is so possible. The possibility of more gives us the ambition, motivation, and energy to make things happen.

After all, everything you see, hear, or read, began with an idea. Let's all come up with some good ideas and take action on them, today.

To your abundance.
