Just like with the definition of prosperity, we will start the definition of abundance with the standard dictionary words used to define abundance.
Abundance: Benevolence, a great amount, a copious supply, affluence, wealth, a great or plentiful amount.
Now most people are already keying into the affluence and wealth part of the definition. So let’s supply some visual imagery to go with it.
Abundant as salt in the sea;
Abundant as air;
There is more salt and air than you could ever use in your entire lifetime. Imagine having the same situation with money.
How about a few quotes?
Ample as the wants of man – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow,
Or
Thick as summer stars – William Blake
Or the most famous one…
My cup runneth over – Twenty-third Psalm
Are you there yet? Try a few more good words.
Copiousness , Teemingness
Bountifulness, Plentitude, Profusion
Or one of my favorites….
Plethora
Maybe a little Wayne Dyer for the PBS fans:
- Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.
- Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into.
Now we are moving into new territory. Abundance can have a quality, a consciousness to go along with the magnitude.
There is a state of being that emerges when you realize that your thoughts can influence how much you receive. There is plenty of whatever you desire out there but it needs to pass through your mental and emotional gateways without get trapped in the corners of your mind.
If you can only imagine a small amount of abundance than that is what you will receive. So start stretching your thinking about how much of the abundance is available to you. Dare to dream about what you really want!
