Grandmaster Maria Baird was teaching one of her Manifesting Me seminars on dreams and desires when she said something that struck me as brilliant. She said, “Once basic needs are met, abundance is an experience that comes from utilizing our gifts in rewarding ways.”
Americans are big on stuff. I live in Los Angeles. People here are really into their stuff. It’s the syndrome of, “He who dies with the most toys wins.” In fact, people are so incredibly focused on what they don't have, they can rarely see and appreciate what they do have. Even when (by my standards) they have A LOT.
I like stuff and all, but I’ve spent years striving for and collecting things just to find out that what really gives me a kick is helping people feel better about their lives. When you are doing what you love to do because you love to do it and because you’re good at it, it’s what comes from that action that feels so good. Not the stuff you buy with it.
Focus on gratitude. Forget consumerism. Forget stuff. Redefine what is really and truly important to you that isn’t material. Then build on it. You will know abundance like you never have before.
