The Abundant Life Demands an Abundant Mind

In accordance with the principles upon which our universe is set, to experience a life of abundance we must have a proper mindset to support and attract it.
So how may we ensure we develop the proper thought structure to nurture a life of abundance?

First and foremost you must define what a life of abundance specifically means for you. This may sound like an obvious thing however few ever take the time to write out in detail exactly what abundance represents for them. You cannot develop a thought process around something unless you know what the something is. The clearer and more detailed the better - clarity with purpose.

Now that you have defined what an abundant life means for you, it is necessary to begin the process of identifying any limiting thoughts you may have in regard to your abundant life. Some will be immediately identifiable. Others, those blueprints which are concealed deep within the subconscience, will take more effort to reveal. Most of these are ideas, (blueprints), you adopted as true from authority figures in your life when you were young. These well meaning people, parents, teachers, etc, passed on their beliefs to you, both abundant and limiting. As a child you did not question. The result being many of these thoughts became habits well ingrained in your subconscious mind. They are still driving the results you are experiencing today. Many still serve you well - others do not. It is these others you need to replace with new blueprints which support the abundant life you wish to realize. It is through daily introspection and communion with spirit through meditation these things will be presented to you in their time. When they are, thank them for their service in the past. Let them know they are loved however you do not take ownership of them realizing they were someone else's idea which does not support your worthy ideals and free them from your mind.

Equally important is the forgiveness of those who introduced those limiting thoughts. Realize they were well intentioned passing on to you what they truly believed was true. Appreciate their efforts and be grateful for these people. Never judge nor condemn. This is not your purpose.

In developing your new blueprints supporting your abundant life it is important to develop new thought patterns promoting your definition of abundance. Developing these thought patterns is essential - more so than identifying limiting beliefs - in that these new thought patterns, once accepted, will absorb and dissipate many of the limiting beliefs whether identified or not. The most effective way to develop these thought patterns is through the use of an effective statement of intention reinforced with daily action steps, positive affirmations, and afformations. Each of these things must resonate well with you, being a little outside the box, however believable.

Also essential in attaining your life of abundance is a continual attitude of gratitude. Refuse to see lack or limitation in anything. Focus only on the abundance of things - the beauty in things. Realize there is always a positive aspect to every circumstance. Turn your thoughts toward finding it. Refuse to engage in conversation and thoughts of anger, hate, envy, and the like.

Lastly I will discuss self-talk. Many do not realize the importance the role of how you talk to yourself, those discussions you have with yourself in your mind, affects your physical experience. It is imperative you always talk to yourself in an honest and uplifting way. Honest positive self-talk goes a long way in keeping the channels of all that is good coming to you. Spend time each day investigating your self-talk. Is it serving you well, moving you forward? What tools might you put in place to ensure it does?

If you begin to implement some of these ideas today, even in a small way, you will begin to see changes in short order. Build on these changes. As your confidence grows you will attract and implement more positive thoughts adding to the process of continually moving toward your life of abundance as you have defined it.
You cannot fail.
You will become, you must become
Exactly what you think about
Earl Nightingale
