Abundance. I've been giving a little thought to abundance, and its meaning. One definition of abundance is an oversufficient supply of something. Sufficient seems to just not be enough for many people. Now I thought this was interesting in that we generally have more than enough in our lives as it is. Have you ever considered taking a short break from consumerism? Some people participate in spending freezes for a predetermined period of time. What this results in is not only money saved, but an opportunity to be more creative with your existing abundance. Instead of running out to pick up a meal you might challenge yourself to use what you already have in your pantry. You might reuse or repurpose something you already own. You might begin to realize that your abundance is not actually in your material possessions. Rather, it is in your relationships, and experiences. Epicurus said, "Not what we have but what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance." Start enjoying the abundance already present in your life.
