The word “abundance” is used a lot, especially when it comes to affirmations. Unfortunately, our minds can sometimes interpret “abundance” as “greed”, and it becomes a turn-off. We unconsciously rebel against it, because we don’t want to think of ourselves as greedy.

Greed and abundance are VERY different—almost opposites.

An attitude of greed comes from a mentality of lack. Someone who is greedy wants what they have and what everyone else has, too. They can never have enough, because they don’t believe there is enough.

An attitude of abundance comes from a mentality of plenty. Someone who is abundant has enough for their own wants and needs, and enough to share with others. They want everyone to have abundance, they want everyone to prosper. They know there is enough.

I wrote these affirmations to remind us of the abundance we have, and the abundance that is always there – and to embrace it.
