The Abundance Principle

Think of the elaborate abundance with which creation surrounds us. Anything and everything we might hope and wish for is easily within our reach. We are, without a doubt, intended to share in that abundance. There is more than enough to spare. Consider the richness of our natural resources. Think also of the resources in your own subconscious mind that lie buried and mostly unused.
Nature gives us everything in abundance and expects us to manifest that abundance in our lives. The Creator did not intend for us to be destitute or poverty-stricken. Consider this: Only one millionth part of the sun’s rays reach our planet to maintain life; the rest of its beams dissipate in cold, empty space. Can you imagine that the Being who created such an abundant source of heat, light and energy intended for humanity to be deprived of the things we need for our happiness and sustenance? Do you believe that the Universe intended us to live in want, sickness, fear, ignorance and insecurity?
Consider how abundantly nature rewards us for what we do. A single tomato seed can multiply itself a million times in one year. Ten forests can come from one acorn. If we plant one bushel of seed potatoes, we receive sixty bushels in return. One single potato carried to England by Sir Walter Raleigh in the sixteenth century multiplied itself into food for millions. A single apple seed can become a great tree, producing foliage, blossoms, fragrance and fruit not just for one year, but for many lifetimes.
There are no signs of limitation in nature.
So why would we suffer limitation in any other area of our lives? Every ounce of energy we pour into our education can be returned to us fantastically multiplied. Every invest we make in the development of character, creativity, ingenuity, courage and conscientiousness is also abundantly rewarded. Every determination we make in life returns to us many times over. Every manifestation of faith, even as tiny as a miniscule mustard seed, can move mountains.
Nature is rich and the Universe intends for us to be rich as well. The essence of the Law of Abundance is that we must believe in abundance. We must think abundance. We must expand our boundaries. We must increase our vision for greater accomplishments and let no thought of failure or limitation enter our conscious or subconscious minds. We can be more, do more and have more. Ralph Waldo Emerson righty said that humanity “was intended to be rich.”​

There is no lack of opportunity. The Universe never intended for us to live as beggars. It never intended us to be poor or worried or unable to pay our bills when we are surrounded with abundance that is ours for the asking. “All things, said Jesus, “whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.” The important thing is to believe and take the first step. If we work toward our goals with all our hearts, why should the thought of failure even enter our heads?
When we think anxiety, disappointment and failure, that is what we get. To utilize the Law of Abundance we need to think strength, health and prosperity. Our achievements today are the result of our past thoughts. Whatever value we place on our existence, life will give it to us. As one poet wrote: 
​
“I bargained with life for a penny,
Only to find dismayed,
That anything I had asked of life,
Life would have paid.” 

If we emphasize and visualize our worries, our fears and our negative attitudes, we will eventually become saturated with them. We make our negative thoughts a reality by our habits of failure.
Many of us only see our limitations and we are defined by them. But consider that Napoleon and Caesar were Epileptic and yet they became extremely powerful. Many people claiming welfare checks from the government are in better health than Julius Caesar when he was conquering the world. John Milton wrote Paradise Lost, one of the greatest pieces of literature, while he was totally blind and living in poverty. Abraham Lincoln had to borrow money for a train ticket to Washington, D.C. so he could give his inaugural address. Walt Whitman wrote: “Nothing external has any power over me.”
We need to be careful about what we think, because that is what we become. Thoughts are energy; thoughts are magnets that attract to us the various things we think. The greatest short cut to prosperity is to believe in it. “Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over.” (Luke 6:38) Nature is rich and it intends for all of us to have abundance in good measure, pressed down, shaken together, filled up and running over. All we need to do is obey the Law of Abundance.
