Abundance

People who are unhappy in life are focused on what they don't have.

For quite sometime now I have been unhappy. Why? Well I was financially stable in my life; however as a Corporate Accountant I was very unhappy with the amount of hours I was working to make the income I had. (Trading time for $$$) Bottom line…never really seeing or spending time with my boys as a mom.

I was in search of something new. -Network Marketing??? Sounded like something I could do. AND I DID!

I jumped in burning my bridges of my financial security (50hr a week job) and became a network marketer. Long story short… I lost $110,000.00 and this put some financial strain on us, as I was no longer working at a "JOB" Moving forward…

So up until sometime ago I was very unhappy with my life and my decisions.

I became depressed and sulked. I continued to beat myself up about what I had allowed myself to do. -This went on for about 1 year.

Even though I lost all of that money, I gained something. I gained the experience of my mistakes and I gained the knowledge of true self development. I gained the wisdom and the necessary tools in assisting people including my children in their own struggles.

I am thankful for that experience.

So let's talk about abundance….. What is abundance? Abundance is defined as…..

-noun

1. An extremely plentiful or over sufficient quantity or supply
2. Overflowing fullness: abundance of the heart.
3. Affluence; wealth: the enjoyment of abundance.

I have a whole new awareness of abundance. To me it means think of all the things we have in our lives The forest's, the air we breathe, the water that flows out of our faucets and our toilets, the abundance of things you can buy in a store like Costco, the beauty that surrounds us, and there is so much more that could be listed here.

Honestly; I have been focusing the past year of my life on the things I don't have, and that is why I have been unhappy. There is no reason for that. I am very abundant in my life in so many ways that I cannot even begin to say how grateful I am for my abundance. Just to share with some of you where I am today. I own 2 homes, I am the CEO of our Corporation, The director of one division, I have 4 wonderful children who shown me new experiences on an never ending process, a wondeful husband who truly is going in the same direction as I am, driving a brand new vehicle, and I'm always taken care of financially every single month. I am grateful and abundant in my life.

My thought is this.... There are unfortunate and poverty stricken countries and people who live on this earth that encounter this experience everyday of their lives. Who am I to be ungrateful about what I don't have. -Shame on me for my thoughts and choices for the past year. WHAT WAS I THINKING??? Sometimes we have our heads stuck up our butts. Thats OK. Just pull yourself out!

To live an abundant life is of one with a truly grateful heart. I am truly abundant in my ever so going life and it comes to me with such ease and effortlessness.

My question to you, who is reading this… Are you abundant in your life... and how? Make a list of those things and have a grateful heart for your abundance.

With Love... Kim
