Be the change

I just hung a bumber sticker in my classroom that says "We must be the change we wish to see in the world" (a quote by Gandi). And though I've read that quote many times before, I just had a realization about the impact really understanding that quote could have on the economic status of our country.

We must be what we want to see. That means that in order to bring about more abundance, we must be abundant. And being abundant doesn't necessarily mean that we have to have lots of money in our bank account. What it means is that we must feel abundant in at least some of the areas of our life to bring about an economic shift.

Do you have good health or happy relationships? Do you have food and shelter? Do you have an open heart and mind? Do you feel abundant in at least one area of your life?

Practice the power of appreciation to attract abundance into your life. Look around you and focus on the good. Look at the positive aspects of situations. As you do this, you will draw to you more things to be appreciative of.

Try it for a day, a week, a month. It is an addictive and transformative process. Imagine how powerful it would be if everyone would practice appreciation? I believe it truly would shift us out of this space of lack and scarcity.

Be the change!

my god! you're so right! but why is it so difficult to stay focused on abundance and being abundant for more than half a day?

I always say, do the best you can with where you are. As you begin to focus even just a little more time on seeing and feeling abundance, you will find more evidence to back you up. I am a firm believer in inching your way up!
