Scarcity is an Illusion: There is enough
Most of us, most of the time want more. We want more money, more love, more happiness, more time, more satisfaction, more respect, and the list goes on. Everything we desire, for most of us, seems scarce.
Scarcity is an illusion.
Of all the illusions we humans harbor, the illusion of scarcity may affect our daily lives the most. Believing there isn’t enough to go around, we compete for our share of life’s stuff–money, food, natural resources, and love– making life harder than it need be. Peace and contentment follows when you know you have enough–and life is easy.
When is enough enough? When you say it is. If you’re being true to who you really are and doing what naturally results from who you are, then you probably already have enough. A great secret of life–it must be a secret since so few people apply it–is that when you do what you love to do and live your life’s purpose you will have enough of life’s stuff. It will come to you naturally and effortlessly. That’s how the Universe works.
Will you get “your fair share?” There’s no such thing, so stop keeping score. Rather than question if you’re getting your share ask this each day, “Is this who I am? Am I being the true me?” Being who you really are and fulfilling life purpose takes care of everything.
The one thing we humans crave the most–love–is available in abundance. God’s love is always with us, all ways. All the love you could ever desire is already within your grasp. Abundant love is yours with one simple step–love others fully and unconditionally. Generously giving love signals the Universe that you have abundant love and the Universe always complies and sees to it that you do. The source of love within you is inexhaustible, the more you give the more you have.
Do you look around and see scarcity? Do you see the abundance others have and envy them? If you focus on scarcity with your thoughts, your talk, and your actions, you will keep scarcity in your life. Focus on your abundance. Everyone has abundance of some sort. Maybe your abundance is humor, or love, or generosity, or wisdom. Focus on the abundance you do have and let the Universe take care of the rest.
Know there is enough of all of our precious resources for
everyone–enough money, food, natural resources, and love. Give generously of your treasures and your special skills. Compete with another only when both parties agree that a competition will be great fun–never compete under other circumstances.
Many believe that competition is good for us; they quote “survival of the fittest” as if that’s a holy truth. We already are surviving. Now we’re looking for happiness, fulfillment, and meaning in our lives. Competition doesn’t yield those results. But that’s the subject of another article.
