Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind — Buddha
I want to keep on reminding you about gratitude. Why? Because to be in a state of thankfulness you are very close if not touching internal peace.
When you brim with gratitude, that feeling is overwhelmingly heart-centred and can literally make you glow. To be mindful of all that is right for you in the world now instead of harping on all that is wrong, brings you into alignment with abundance.
Think of abundance as your ‘happy place’. It’s not just about being rich, it’s about experiencing all the good things life has to offer…joy, peace, bliss, health, material wealth, love, friendship, etc.
So do your little a-bun-dance! Wiggle your butt and dance for joy in honour of all you have.
In honour of joy and abundance, here is your free wallpaper and e-card download for this week (click on picture, right-click and ‘save as’):
When we think of the word abundance most of us jump straight to material wealth. However, abundance, like the word ‘wealth’, does not only mean physical treasures.
Wealth can be measured by your physical wealth or health. Without your health you could be the richest person in the world and it would mean nothing.
“…the umbrella of wealth covers so much more than money.”
Wealth can also refer to your mental frame of mind, as in the case with health, if you are mentally ill all the gold in the world won’t help you.
Having meaningful relationships, whether romantic or otherwise is of great importance. In other words, you have a lot of money but no-one to share it with – not much fun either!
“…you could be the poorest or the richest person in the world and still suffer a huge amount of pain if you feel that everything is worthless and your life has no meaning. “
Then there is of course the financial wealth which we all think will solve our problems but as you can see from the list above, this is not always the case. Of course, it is wonderful to have no money worries and to be able to buy anything you desire or go any place in the world or just to have enough to pay the bills – I am not denying that. But the umbrella of wealth covers so much more than money.
The most important of all is the wealth of spirit. Without this you will be searching your whole life for meaning to it all and you could be the poorest or the richest person in the world and still suffer a huge amount of pain if you feel that everything is worthless and your life has no meaning.
The Distortion of Wealth
Unfortunately, through most media outlets we are being pumped with the need for greed. This is another clever ploy by the ‘elite’ to keep us in a cycle of want and ‘tunnel vision’.
“We are being manipulated on a massive scale to keep us from seeing certain truths about our reality.”
Be very careful of the need for riches and try to assess why you want all that money anyway. Always try to see the root of the desire and be mindful and appreciative of the trees in the forest instead of not seeing the forest for the trees.
We are being manipulated on a massive scale to keep us from seeing certain truths about our reality. This is being done to keep our minds preoccupied with meaningless pursuit. This is what I mean by being ‘mindful’ of your desires. Are they really yours? Or are you having the wool pulled over your eyes? So be clear about what you want and why you want it.
How Can I Feel Abundant When I Have Nothing?
A good starting place, to manifest your dreams, is to start with being grateful for what you do have. That which you consider being of wealth to you. This could be having a close family or a special talent or even the fact that you have a roof over your head and food in the fridge.

“You must take responsibility for what you have created in the past so that you can start creating a better future.”
For those of you new to the Law of Attraction (LOA) – read on. For those who understand the LOA — it’s of great benefit to recap what you already know to glean information that may have previously not been taken on board.
Get With the Law of Attraction Program!
Simply put — the LOA states that like attracts unto itself. Whatever you think about the most you attract into your experience.
“We co-create everything in our experience. Not only through thoughts but through vibration — what we feel.“
There is no sugar-coating this theory because the time for pandering this issue is over. We have got to get real and face the consequences of our unconscious creations.
I have been practicing this concept for a good few years now and it is REAL.
When I look back into my past and ask ‘what I was thinking?’ — creating such chaos — I soon find that there definitely was a train of thought that led to certain events (albeit undesirable events).
You must take responsibility for what you have created in the past so that you can start creating a better future.
Get Your Good Vibrations Dial Tuned In
We co-create everything in our experience. Not only through thoughts but through vibration — what we feel.
What we feel sends out a strong signal or frequency and that is mainly what the LOA works with.
It can’t decipher words as such — only the vibration or feeling behind the words. So, to think that you don’t want something only reiterates that which is unwanted.
Huh?
Are you Holding your Fat Rolls in Discontent?
When you think about losing weight, for instance, you are most likely concentrating on how fat you are not how thin you want to be. You are probably looking into the mirror holding your fat rolls and sending out a frequency of self-loathing and discontent.
“The first step to creating the life of your dreams is to get real about your ‘head space’. “
What then happens is the Universe picks up on that which you are thinking about — the fat — and sees to it that you receive more.
Choosing From the Cosmic Menu
This is what I know:
We are living in a Universe of abundance.
The Universe holds the building blocks to everything.
The Universe is continuously expanding to our every whim.
There is enough abundance for all.
The Universe is manifesting according to our will but it can only deliver that which it sees as being called into existence by us.
We need to seriously filter our thoughts and emotions in order to project what we want to manifest in our lives — if we don’t do this, we still end up creating our experience through our random, unfiltered thought streams and feelings.
The Taming of the Mind
The first step to creating the life of your dreams is to get real about your ‘head space’.
What is going on upstairs?
Is it a continuous loop of worried thoughtsor random streams of mindless pap?
Can you devote some time in your day (only 5-10 minutes is required to get you started) to meditate?
“Meditation is allowing your self to just exist with no distraction.”
Meditation, in essence, only means sitting still in a quiet area and blanking out your mind.
Not thinking of anything and just being. You don’t have to sport a lotus position or hum and chant if it does not resonate with you. Meditation is allowing your self to just exist with no distraction.
If you find it hard to meditate then seek help, guided meditations or classes. This is a paramount step to decluttering your mind and clearing the way for positive thoughtstreams.
Jump in the Drivers Seat, Take Your Life for a Spin
When you can apply the breaks to your negative thought streams, you are in control. When you have this capability, you are on your way to manifesting your dreams.
Pick up a glass and toast to your new co-creator abilities!
I want to keep on reminding you about gratitude. Why? Because to be in a state of thankfulness you are very close if not touching internal peace.
