Creation of Abundance
Cathleen L. Balfour
As the world spins around us, how many of us find ourselves wishing that we had more money, happiness and success in our daily lives? What is creating and why is it so important? This article will explore the difference between wishing for an abundant life and creating one. Together, we will explore the law of attraction.
How often do our thoughts go into lack of abundance mode? The Webster dictionary states that lack is: 1: to be deficient or missing, 2: to be short or have need of something, 3: to stand in need of: suffer from the absence or deficiency of (lack the necessities of life). My question is: Can we truly let go of all negative beliefs around lack that keep us from creating true abundance, whether it is money, success or happiness? What if we spent less time trying to figure out how to get more and put our energy into enriching our lives through our innermost intentions of what we would choose to or love to do? What if we live our lives by what works for us as individuals and create more than enough of everything we need? What if, by following our inner guidance, our potential to create abundance becomes limitless?
Creating abundance is about becoming aware of what your true innermost intentions/thoughts are. Once you know those intentions, then you need to know where those thoughts are coming from - are they generated from fear or love? By becoming aware of the thoughts behind what you are wishing for or lacking from, you can begin to create from what you truly desire.
We find ourselves living our lives through fear, relying on what we hear, see or are told to do. We are taught by the world that we cannot create for ourselves and lack is everywhere and only the rich can have it all. We are taught to take the first job that comes along or settle for something, and as long as we are barely surviving then it is more than good enough. When you worry about how much money you are making and whether or not you have enough, you will never be, have or create enough as long as you believe you are here to survive, which is not your true purpose. However, once you refuse to go along with illusion, and seek a life that feels good to you and choose to do what you love, then you create abundance and will eventually manifest all your dreams. Our power flows from our inner thoughts and manifests in our outer world. What we think, we create and attract. Our reality is not created or held by any outside person. You may believe that your source of power lies in your job, supervisor, money, spouse, etc., however, your personal power is the ultimate goal to achieving your dreams.
Creation of abundance through positive intention is the way to having all you desire and living an abundant life. Not only will the Universe provide you with everything you want and need, the law of attraction will play out through the natural flow of creation. Remember that the law of attraction is always working, whether you are actively creating your thoughts or just allowing them to happen. Whatever you have created in your life, you have attracted. What you have and what you see around you is but a reflection of what you are choosing each moment. This choice is always yours and you have always had the power to choose who you are. Whatever you imagine, you attract and therefore create and this is your reality.
Now is the time to choose intentionally, purposefully and joyfully. The four core creative expressions that empower your creativity are: thoughts, beliefs, desires and intentions. These core expressions determine who you are and what you attract. You can choose what and how to think and what to believe. You can also choose your intentions. When you “tune in”, listen and follow your inner guidance through clear intentions, amazing opportunities and abundance flow into your life. If you open your mind and soul to your own worth, your innate ability comes forth and you remember you are a divine creator. The more you are aware of your innermost thoughts, the more abundant life gets. With each positive choice, you begin to create from a more loving and peaceful place within until one day you realize that you have created your life - a life of abundance and joy. You will have remembered why you came to earth and you will remember your purpose was not to settle for lack of but to live in joy.
The true purpose of your life is simply to respect, enjoy, and contribute. Life on earth is meant to be a joyful event.
I affirm
I will experience joy and fulfillment and I seek the way that I can make a contribution and express my gratitude for the gift of life.
Remember you create your own reality. Money, like everything, consists of energy and is a renewable resource. The energy you project out into the world is exactly what you will receive. It is through love we can choose to create! Enjoy the journey. Life is supposed to be fun!
