Living an abundant life or thriving for it?

Many times when we think of an abundant life, we all think of life in joy, having all the beautiful things life has to offer. While this is very true, I wish to share with you today that this is the one side of abundant life, there's another aspect of abundance that haven't been explored by many. 

This one sided understanding about abundant life has led many of us on a continuous looking for it while we already have it.

Let's start by defining what abundance is.

WHAT IS ABUNDANCE?

According to the English dictionary, the word abundance has the following meanings:

• an extremely plentiful or over-sufficient quantity or supply
• overflowing fullness: affluence; wealth

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

This means that abundance is something that we already have in over-supply. Abundance is not what you journey to, but it is a state of BEING.

It is not something you become, but something you already are 💥

I'm sure you are already asking yourself questions or even thinking this woman is crazy 😀

I may be crazy, but stay with me here especially if you're Christian.

There's this verse in the Bible John 10: 10 "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, and may have it abundantly"

This verse says it all, that Jesus came so that we can have life in abundance. Not going to have it. He came and abundance is what you have already

If that is the case, 

WHY IS IT THAT WE THINK WE DON'T HAVE IT?

It is because we were taught and led to believe that abundance is something you thrive for, something you become and not something you are.

Let me explain what I mean. 

You as a person are already abundant. Abundant in growth (hair/nails/body cells) they grow effortlessly. You are already abundant in life (breathing comes effortlessly so). You are already abundant in knowledge (you know things you don't know how you know them), the list is endless.

The question may be then "why am I not feeling or seeing this abundance?" That is because we have reduced abundance to material possessions.

We have missed the understanding that abundance is a state of being. Meaning you are already in the state of abundance as things stand, the real question is:

WHAT STATE OF ABUNDANCE ARE YOU IN?

Over-supply, over-flow and plenty of what? That's what makes a difference.

Are you in abundance of problems or solutions? Abundance of joy or misery? Abundance of health or disease? Abundance of smiles or tears? Abundance in fear or love? Abundance of courage or timidness?

It is very easy to establish where one is, your life experiences says it all.

You are already living in abundance, the only thing that has got to change is knowing what part of abundance you want more of and why?

Before you get more depressed about your life, I want you to know that there's a beautiful and more powerful reason why you are having those experiences. And the reason goes beyond what you can see, feel and touch. It goes beyond your senses but to your mission of being here in this life. Which is returning to unconditional love. Loving yourself and all experiences the same way. Not choosing the other over the other because all of those are a huge part of your purpose of being on this earth.

Meaning that if you are currently living life in abundance of problems, there's many solutions within you that are laying dormant, that you still need to activate. 

AND HOW DO YOU ACTIVATE THEM?

1. You do that by being GRATEFUL for the experience itself. Because it is through that experience that you seek resolution. Meaning it is through seeing a problem that you go seek a solution. 
2. APPRECIATING and LOVING the problem as much as you love the solution because you now have an understanding that without a problem there wouldn't be a solution. Therefore returning back to UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
