Magical Thinking

There are some buzz words that are so well used that they are worn right out. I'm going to write them and as you read, I'm pretty sure you will say she missed some.  Journey, path, passion, gratitude, authentic.  There is one I didn't list that I worry will be miss used and it is the word abundance. The term abundance mentality speaks to attitude, that if you have this attitude, you will draw abundance, translation, money, to you.  There is some magical thinking that goes with this phrase that if you or I believe something or say it enough, it will come to be, turning thoughts into tangible money. No no no!  The beauty of abundance comes from KNOWING that you are abundantly gifted, that you have an offering that is irresistible and unique.  Abundant thinking is about YOU, and what you can do to make someone else's life more fulfilling, by serving them. Whatever you are good at, that is your offering, that is where abundance lives. The fact that talent can be monetized is a bonus. Do what you do best and believe it is valuable and the money will follow.
