Many of us maintain a kind of needs-focused mindset: we become obsessed with everything that’s missing rather than raising awareness of what we already have, thanking, appreciating who we are and what’s around us is certainly the best way to address true abundance.
This is not a modern evil. That indescribable feeling that something is missing and that we are on the verge of an abyss where a kind of handicap is always opened is the eternal existential crisis of the human being, however, it is essential to control and rationalize this type of thinking. , this deficiency will develop as weeds, as ivy that ends up covering the windows of a house.
“Abundance is my natural state and I accept it
We also know that managing this feeling is not exactly easy, and not because the current and notorious social inequality makes the word “necessity” more palpable than ever. Lack of work, certain gains or the prospect of an uncertain future make the concept of ironic abundance. However, understanding this term and applying it to our reality from a motivational point of view can help us face our day-to-day life in a smarter way.
We are convinced that this topic will be of great use to you.
There is a very interesting book entitled “Sapiens, a Brief History of Humanity”, by historian Yuval Harari. The book makes a somewhat provocative analysis of the history of the evolution and success of homo sapiens, where, in a way, the reader comes to understand that the cruelty of our own species seems to have been imposed on ethics in many cases.
One of the things Dr. Harari points out is that we get used to living in a state that we could define as “artificial abundance. “As an example, we have already explored the natural world to the point of forcing it to offer us far beyond what the balance of the Earth and ecosystems can allow us to do. Still, our modernity is oriented towards this materialism where?Where to get?defines the state of the person. His lack, however, creates discomfort and unhappiness.
We distort the true and original concept of the term abundance, in the natural environment abundance is first and foremos sorry for balance and respect, it is to appreciate what is already present, what surrounds us, without breaking that harmony to offer us. more than in their own possibilities.
One thing that modern Homo sapiens probably cannot comprehend, because, as Benjamin Franklin once said, we have reached a point where we think time is money; when, in fact, time is just a gift you forget to use properly.
At this point, it is obvious that abundance does not mean money, accumulation of goods or even power, abundance means living in fullness without fail, without voids or with the heart carried by the wind, giving the eternal feeling of being empty inside.
“The first seed of abundance is thanksgiving
As ironic as it may seem, in times of difficulty and necessity, it is more necessary than ever to feel this inner abundance. Only in this way will we have a real psychological force to face adversity, to have an intuition of opportunities and thus be more receptive to everything around us.
We invite you to think about the next aspects.
Many of us are very accustomed to the so-called “disability motivation”: my mobile phone is still in good condition, but now they have launched another last generation of this brand that everyone owns, and of course I can’t do without it.
We’re missing a lot of things. You may not have a home with many amenities, your body is not ideal and your partner has its flaws, you may not even have managed to go on vacation to this paradise destination, even though your friends were already gone last summer. Living in the economy in need is like a virus, like a continuous disease that gradually spreads like the stain of moisture on a wall, still there, with its unpleasant appearance.
We must develop a state of consciousness capable of embracing the positive, the present and the concrete, not what is not, what is not or what is missing, only when we can give thanks for who we are, what defines us and what we surrounds. with confidence we can open the doors to prosperity.
