I really want to share a personal meditation with all of you because it is something that I have struggled with yet it's my great spiritual lesson. The concept of abundance. Most of you know I have my own business and I am also a teacher but I have always needed more. More money, more time, more ideas, more love, etc,etc.
I have never been materialistic, But somehow for most of my life I have been in the "never have,always needing" situation. My parents were/are working class immigrants from Haiti.We lived in a decent neighborhood and always had the basics, it wasn't easy but we made the best and sometimes did without. Since I have been on my own I have struggled and gotten by but I have never been financially secure. Starting my own business is the best thing I ever did but it has been a huge investment. I really have reached a point in my life where I must get out of debt and into financial freedom!
I have decided to end that phase of my life this year by doing things differently. Whether you call it prosperity or abundance I have submerged myself in this concept this year. I am making building wealth my top priority! It's time for the next level, The Big Leap Forward!
This is about the Source of All things. This is about God. The Creator, The Most High. All of these years I have prayed for many things yet somehow I missed The Big Picture. For me The Big Picture is the Overstanding that God, not people, not jobs, is the sole provider! I have worked very hard over the years but it hasn't been enough, because I wasn't tapping into favor. God gives favor. He/She is the one who provides the idea, the work, the energy to do the work and the success that results. God is why I have everything I have now so if, I need more than it's God who will give it to me! For whatever reason that has not been happening so I feel that I have to look deep into myself and study what and how I am doing things. Maybe it was me, I wasn't ready and I held myself back. Maybe God needed to get somethings in place for the divine timing.
Whatever it is, I know now that Giving Thanks everyday, helping people, working hard and praying are the key but only God makes it so that I open the right doors.
God inspires me to create art and God makes people like and buy my work. All I need is The Most High's Blessing to seek the right things, do the right things and materialize his wealth on this plane. I now meditate on the awesome abundance of God, not my own lack and longing.
I seek to be that vessel for abundance for him/her to manifest through. I no longer pray with my hands closed, I pray with my arms open to recieve and I actually feel grace and gratitude right now. I no longer doubt or wonder when it will happen. It's already happening and I live in that dimension today.
I hope whoever reads and needs this takes that step too. I'm in cloudy and cold Chicago but It's warm and sunny here in this consciousness.

See Light, Be Light,
Marjorie
