To most of us the word abundance is not a familiar word. It is something we confuse with abandon. And for a long time I’ve been like that. I used to confuse the two words.
I will tell you why. My background. Well, to begin with, to me it came late in life.
It has not been part of my vocabulary. My vocabulary has been something else. Hence I could not own an industry.
Some times we shun words like they are a forbidden territory. They are not ours. You can’t talk about them. It comes from you. It comes from you and your associates. While others use it every day.
It is their daily bread. Hence they are rich. The Oxford Dictionary defines abundance as ‘more than enough.’ ‘Plenty.’ ‘Wealth.’ Simple, this is it. And can you talk about wealth. Do you talk about it?
Highly unlikely! We talk about everything else.
We talk about work. We talk about jobs. Is he working? When is he going to find a job? What is wrong with him? We talk about football?
Are you a Pirate, or Chiefs? Hey, Sundowns is doing very well, neh! I mean; I am trying to think about what we talk about. I try to find wealth in it. I don’t. I find people. I find events, but not wealth.
It is said the difference between men is not what you think. It is not the colour of your skin. Or nationality. It is not ethnicity. Or clan.
It is thought. How we think. The cause of our conditions is thought.
If you want to have better conditions than you have right now, change the way you think. Now I tell you this is not going to be easy. Start talking about wealth to your friends. And you will see what I mean.
They will say you are talking nonsense. Don’t come and bore them. Some will even make fun of you. “Hear this one. Hear what he says. He is talking about wealth!” And there will be laughter.
Some will think you are sick. You need to have your head examined. It is not going to be easy.
For what is in the subconscious mind is not wealth, but something else. The mind has been conditioned to think about something else.
Wealth is regarded as something that you can never have. Why bother?
Why talk about something that you can never have? See the logic? Hence the conditions we find ourselves in.
Because we reap what we sow! Whatever we think about; comes about. It will show! This is why we need to re-look at our thoughts. And see what we think about. And see whether we cannot change them. Stay positive.
