Abundance


Listen Later

On this episode, Patrick is joined once more by Harold Lewey to talk about abundance & what it means for them.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • For most people abundance means plentifulness, the cornucopia of life, the richness of fruit pouring out of a conch shell in great quantity. My personal take is that all things I need, want & are meant for me will find me & I will find them. That is the philosophy of abundance & living in abundance. The question is when? Through whom? & how?
  • There is an issue that for certain people it has nothing to do with quantity, it has to do with quality. They’re not really interested in quantity, they want a certain quality to their lives. For them abundance has nothing to do with quantity, it has to do with the specifics of quality.
  • Is the glass half full or half empty? If you’re looking at the part that’s half empty you will experience the emptiness, if you’re looking at the part that’s half full you will experience the fullness. Look inside & think: “Let me appreciate what I have at this point as being the perfect amount and quality for what I’m capable of doing.” It has a lot to do with people learning humility & patience & being able to handle their own arrogance that they deserve or are supposed to have certain things, jealousy & envy. These are issues we need to deal with
  • For one person abundance might be owning a lot of clothes that they never wear, for another it might be having lots of toys, for another simply having one pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses is abundance. Many years ago I heard a guru saying the for her abundance was stuffed olives, they were the ultimate in luxury because you could get a kilo of regular olives for the same price as a small jar of stuffed olives.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Abundance itself is purely an attitude. You can be with nothing & feel & experience abundance or you can have everything & feel short-changed.’

‘Life is full. If you’re rich in problems you’re still rich.’

‘Just because you have a lot of something doesn’t mean you can appreciate it, absorb it or even realise that’s what you have.’

‘A lot of us are still working vacuum which has nothing to do with what does & doesn’t exist in the world, it has to do with our relationship with the emptiness we experience, & no amount of abundance can ever fill that.’
