Abundance Mindset

In the past, and some days currently, I start to tell myself there isn’t enough. I begin to think that I can’t make ends meet. I may, at times, begin to think I’m not able or smart enough to do something. I have all these negative thoughts. They seem true when I know they’re not. It seems as if I don’t have enough to get things done. It seems as if I'm not smart enough to do something. It seems that way, but the truth is, my mind is playing tricks on me. I’m more than able. I’m more than capable. I have plenty. What I lack, cause there are deficiencies, leaps towards me and becomes available.

“As A Man Thinketh” talks about it. The Bible talks about it. Wise men and women have discussed it for centuries. You can do what countless others have done and change your thoughts. You are enough. You have plenty. Opportunities find you. Money finds you. Love finds you. You are worthy. You are capable. You are enough. All of these affirming statements and many more lay a foundation upon which your greatness will be displayed.

I’ve been struggling with getting things done this week. It’s only Wednesday and I feel as if I’m behind. Here’s the funny thing, my feelings are not true. I’ve accomplished lots of things on my list. I printed out a list of items to accomplish this month and as I look at the list now, seven items are finished with four completed yesterday. Doesn’t stop how I was “feeling” or what I was “thinking.” Our thoughts and feelings can be deceptive. They can be inaccurate. But, we are in complete and total control over them.

I choose to live in an abundant mindset. I choose to believe that if I am lacking in some area, whatever I need exists and will find me. I must not yield. I must not stop. I must keep moving forward at my current pace, or faster, so whatever is headed my way arrives right on time. When I slow down, when I quit, when I stop, I disrupt the timing. It’s not like I do these things intentionally, but they happen. I then have to start again, moving even faster, and intersect with them at a later point.

Truth be told, that may all be false and totally inaccurate. But I think not. I think it is and so it is. We are what we think we are. Interestingly enough, we don’t get judged on our thoughts. We’re judged on our actions. Our thoughts do dictate our actions, so we are indirectly judged on our thoughts. Think about that for a second. Most sane people think before they act. If that’s true, acting without thinking is insane. It’s unreasonable.

Think and you will be. Act as you think.

Today, Wednesday, August 21, 2024, I am grateful that:

I sent over the docs to Herb. It’s been over a month with this first project. Speaking once a week plus me learning something new took longer than expected, but that part is finished.

My mindset is changing again. I’m growing in my conviction. I’m growing in how to implement and succeed in what’s really important on this journey. Others find this sooner, but it’s takes what it takes.

One by one tasks are getting done. I enjoy having a list now more than in my past. I haven’t done list is years and it’s something that’s proving beneficial right now. That may change, but

This is the first part of the entry.
