Years ago I would have never thought my life was abundant.
Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t think I had a horrible life. It was more that I thought having an abundant life meant having more money and feeling more successful.
Over the last 2.5 years I have realized abundance is about so much more than have more money, more things, or more accolades.
I don’t remember how it came to me but one day while doing research about mindset and growth mindset the phrase “abundance is a state of mind” came to me.
I immediately wrote it down in my handy dandy notebook and knew this would one day be a print.
After I wrote it down I would think about it daily. What exactly does this mean? I knew what it meant to me, but how could I explain it to others?
When you look up the word abundance in the dictionary {or if you google the definition!} there are three definitions that stand out to me but this one in particular,
the state or condition of having a copious quantity of something; plentifulness.
A copious quantity of something.
When you really think about this, it is all subjective.
A copious quantity could be very different for each of us. It is also about looking at the glass half full or half empty.
When I look at my life today I see abundance.
I see copious amounts of:
Love
Happiness
Adventure
Business opportunities
Friendships
laughter
Seeing everything I listed above as abundance is because I shifted my mindset.
I realized what it means for me to have an abundant life shifted when my mindset shifted and my outlook on my life changed.
When I leaned into finding gratitude I found the abundant life I was searching for was right in front of me.
