I am attending! Are You?

See you there!!!!

Abundance is a concept often debated in spiritual and
entrepreneurial circles.

Entrepreneurs commonly use the catch-phrase “thinking
BIG,” but they really mean the same thing.

Abundance is tough to define because it’s one of those
unique ideas that must be experienced to really be
understood … it can’t just be explained.

Yet the most encouraging part of adopting an abundance
mindset is how it can connect you to people with totally
different set of beliefs and values.

It instantly sustains inclusivity even with people who
are dramatically different.

POP QUIZ: What do Mother Theresa and Donald Trump
have most in common?

The answer is their abundance mind-set.

Donald Trump says, “If you’re going to think anyway,
you might as well think big.”

Mother Theresa said: “The more we discover the
magnitude and abundance of God’s gifts, the more we
will find ourselves.”

Again, the abundance mindset creates connections.

Bucky Fuller had this to say about the abundance mindset:

“The condition of planet earth is abundance. Our belief in
either scarcity or abundance determines how our financial,
legal, political and military systems are set up or exist at all.

Scarcity and abundance are foundational and contextual ideas.
They each give rise to a distinct system of thought and a number
of rules, characteristics and measures which only make sense
within their own system.”

Above all, the abundance-mindset is a choice. In other
words, you choose to look through the lens of scarcity, or
through the lens of abundance. There is no in-between.

“Do … or do not. There is no try.” ~ Yoda

Because there are are so many differing opinions about
abundance, my colleagues and I have decided to conduct
this worldwide survey get more opinions – your opinion – on
this highly debated topic.

My JV partners, Alex Mandossian and Scott Martineau are
hosting the Virtual Abundance Expo this week, so I figured
this a great opportunity to host a survey and attract the
best single sentence that clearly defines abundance.

What to do now: Please use the comment box to write your
definition of abundance. Although the survey ends at 5pm PDT on
Monday, July 27th, right before Jack Canfield’s keynote
speech for the Virtual Abundance Expo, you may still share your definition with us.

All the definitions will be gathered and tallied the next day
and five finalists will be chosen for the final vote.

If you are one of the five finalists, your definition of abundance
will be personally evaluated by our Virtual Abundance Expo faculty.

The top vote-getter with the clearest and most concise definition
of abundance will be personally interviewed by Scott and Alex as
a honorary faculty member for Virtual Abundance Expo.

A Sacred Space….

July 22, 2009

Sonhei by Lenine

The most sacred space lives within You!
That space where you know you can always find your most inner and authentic self. Take time to go there. Create the space allowing You to go within often. Daily? Why not? This will help you get connected with who you really are and that One You is the one who will shine, the One who will more often be shared with the world around You.

In your journeys into your inner self, invite your Children and Young Ones. Take the time to sit down and go within, with them. Share with them this precious habit. 

Your Chldren and Young Ones may choose to resist. After years of sharing spirituality and all the many teachings and beliefs of a joyful and healthy life, I still witness my very own beautifully spirited teenage daughter resist.

It is an illusion! Resistance is comfortable, is easy….. is it? Not really. It may appear easy since it allows for us to be within our comfort zones. However, in reality, it is far from easy for its outcome brings many easily avoidable challenges. The price of resistance is significantly high. The extend of our inner growth is directly connected with the extend of our willingness to expand our comfort zone!

Today create and nurture a belief within yourself that tells you that resisting what you believe in your heart will make the goodness in you flourish, what you believe in your heart will make you a joyful and harmonious human being, You will no longer resist! Believe within yourself this to be true and You will see how much more powerful You will become!

So, when You witness the Young Ones in your life resist, disregard this apparent resistance. Move forward in Love, in a renewed belief that insisting on helping them learn to create the space to go within may be the one thing that can transform their entire life. It may be the divine ONE thing that can assist them in becoming more at peace with themselves, for through it they will KNOW the path to their most sacred space: their INNER SELF.

May you have the courage to go there every single day of your precious life.
