4 Ways to Live a Life of Abundance
By Jacklyn | May 10, 2011
Everyone has the right to live a life of abundance. In John 10:10 Jesus states, “The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy; I come that they may have life and have it abundantly.” The thief brings negative thoughts and situations into your presence and are self defeating. These thoughts and situation bring about depression, low self esteem, illness etc; all destroying the very essence of whom you are. However, if you shift your focus or change your atmosphere you can live a life you so desperately want. Know that abundance is subjective. What may be a life of abundance for one may not qualify as abundance to another. There are four steps to living a life of abundance, and they are:
1. Define – Before you can move forward in a positive direction you have to define your goals, dreams and aspirations. Setting goals help one to reach a destination in life, but always remember to enjoy the journey.
2. Visualization – Daily visualize your goals and how you will live once they are obtained. Your vision comes from your thought process. You are solely responsible for what you allow into your consciousness and into you sphere of influence. Control your thoughts. If you allow negative thoughts to slip through; don’t worry, that means you are human. However, it is your responsibility to self correct. Self correct by replacing negative thoughts with positive affirmations.
3. Speak – Speak it into existence. Your speech should reflect your thoughts. Remove words such as can’t, won’t, hate, poor, fat, and ugly from your vocabulary. If you continuously make comments like I do not have any money, you will continue to lack in that area. Instead, you should say, I am temporarily without cash; however, I am rich in life. Attract abundance into you life by speaking it as it is so.
4. Positive Affirmations – Write down positive affirmations about yourself and post them in areas where you can see them daily. Take about ten minuets per day to look at yourself in the mirror and speak abundance into your life. Remembering that abundance is subjective you may say, “I am a confident woman who own and operate a successful business. I have 1001 associates and we are all debt free, happy and family oriented.
It is very important in life to define your goals and objectives. You must then operate in your own power by manifesting positive thoughts; knowing that your defined goals will eventually come to pass. What you speak should be in direct correlation with your thoughts, therefore your conversation should be positive. Finally, you should take time for yourself daily to refuel yourself with positive affirmation.
