Clear as mud



Dear Eduardo (if that is your real name and you really do exisit)
What the heck do you mean when you say life was meant to be over-flowing with abundance? Tell me what you mean by abundance?
Sincerly,
Some cyber fool


Well, cyber fool, I define abundance in 6 areas, and they are;

*health

*wealth

*happiness

*spiritual satisfaction

*wisdom
*love


Try to think of them as spokes on a wheel. If just one of them is in short supply then your wheel is not going to operate smoothly. And thats how you life is when one component is broken, it makes for an unpleasant trip.
So the effect is that everything else has to shortened so that the spokes are the same. Now your wheel is smaller and the wheel is a metaphor for your life. The bigger your wheel the bigger is your world. After all, you always wanted to be a big wheel didn't you?

Because I have a short attention span you might have noticed that I write fairly short articles. So cyber fool, I will go into more detail on each part of the abundance wheel at a later date.

"all that I have, I deserve.
All that I will ever have, I deserve"

Hey Ed,

I wrote a really cute and witty response to your post but my damn computer ate it. Here is the Readers Digest version. Do you think people adapt in other areas when one or two areas are screwed up?

excellent question Gracie...yes, I think people adapt in other areas however it is pointless unless we balance our lives. If we don't find that balance then it follows that our lives shrink instead of expand. But before we beat ourselves up because we haven't reached our potential in each area, we need to remember that other than the saints and enlightened one's, the rest of us are always trying to find that perfect balance. I've reached the conclusion that all that matters to me is that I am expanding (and I'm not talking about my waist line)
