Abundance

A while ago, I met this woman who won a contest. She was the millionth caller to some telephone service. She mentioned the fact that she has purposefully added the word "million" to her vernacular. She did little things each day like saying, "thanks a million" instead of just, "thanks". This woman believed that by bringing a word or idea into your life, it would in some way make itself comfortable there. She ran her own business, so I'm sure she was hoping that the million she encountered would be in dollars, not telephone calls, but nonetheless, here theory got me thinking.

So yesterday, I read this article: http://www.cnn.com/2009/LIVING/personal/04/21/o.when.to.say.enough/index.html
It's all about how believing that abundance is all around you, actually makes abundance all around you. I've taken her assignment seriously and spent the day naming things that are abundant around me. So far, I have:

• Sunshine
• Love
• Candy
• Air
• Music

The other part of this woman's theory, is that by changing your attitude from "Just in Case" to "Just in Time", things will start to fall into place. Issues that you may have struggled with your whole life, will slowly just disappear. I guess it is the belief that the universe is on your side, and will give you everything you need. It says that hoarding things, thinking you may one day need them, just bogs you down. And, being the child of someone that saves everything, that is a theory that I can get on board with. So, I'd like to officially welcome abundances, of all kinds, into my life. I will try to never take you for granted, nor hold your presence so dear that you run away screaming.
