Lunar Reflections - Abundance Tip

Recognize the Energy of Fulfillment

September’s focus is on recognizing the energy of fulfillment. Because when we focus on fulfillment, then we eliminate deprivation thinking. Fulfillment or being fulfilled is the essence of abundance. How do you create this essence?

What fills you up in a satisfactory way? Think about it! This question is not as profound or trite (depending on your point of view) as it may seem. If you’re authentic with yourself as you consider what fills you up in a satisfactory way, then your answer will come from your deep understanding of your life values, goals, and life dreams.

That answer is not the same for everyone. What fills me up may not be the same for others you know, so don’t take on their values and beliefs about what is important and satisfying. When you take on someone else’s values, then you begin to lose your authentic nature and begin to work towards things that really aren’t that important to you. Therefore the result of achieving those things will instead create emptiness, confusion, even despair in the midst seeming abundance.

So think again, what’s important to you? What satisfies you? What makes you fulfilled – really fully filled with joy, appreciation, hope, love, confidence? Your answer will help define what it means to be abundant in your life.

Now let yourself be driven by these things that will make you abundant. Allow your time, money, and energy to be spent only on those things that will bring fulfillment and abundance to your life. By the same token, stop spending time, money, and energy on anything that won’t bring you fulfillment. Why bother? Why drain away those precious resources (time, money, energy) on something that won’t bring fulfillment in your life?

In particular this abundance tip suggests that you focus on your discretionary spending when it comes to fulfillment. Only spend those discretionary funds on what truly brings fulfillment and satisfies you, and eliminate any spending that isn’t fulfilling. The result will be to build experiences of abundance in your life, and you will become more hopeful, happy, and confidant.

Lifelong fulfillment is a matter of living every day based on your values so as to help ensure that you are comfortable at your last breath, rather than regretful.
