I have been looking at abundance and found some daily statements to study. So far, all of the statements talk about the source of abundance coming from inside me. When I feel into the statements, it feels right that abundance comes from within, but I am having a hard time connecting with the abundance within me.
Why? I think that part of the problem for me is that if abundance comes from within, then I am responsible for the abundance in my life. I have known for a long time that I am responsible for the decisions that I make in my life and somehow, those decisions lead to my abundance.
In thinking about abundance coming from within, I am starting to understand that abundance and attraction are tied together. As I think and believe, so will I attract, and thus it will lead to how abundant that I am. If I believe I do not have enough money, then I will attract not enough money.
So, am I responsible for everything that I attract in my life? With my current train of thought, yes, but I am not certain that I fully believe it yet. I will work on it.
How far does my responsibility go? If my wife is in a bad mood, am I responsible for her bad mood? No. Am I responsible for making her feel better? No, though sometimes I feel that I want to do anything to make her feel better. Can I help her feel better? Yes, but it is her choice to feel better and I need to let go of any responsibility that I have in making her feel better.
But, why am I attracting my wife in a bad mood? I think that is the question. I mean, I would rather attract a happy wife all the time. Why do I do that? I think the first thing, for me, is to be aware that I have attracted this and I have a responsibility in how I respond. Then I can start to ask the following questions:
- What is here for me to learn?
- Am I reacting in a manner that is consistent with who I am?
- How could I be handling this situation?
- What can I do better next time?
- Am I breathing?
I know this is not something that I will solve overnight, but hopefully, this is a start at opening my awareness. Having an awareness is a start to changing what I am currently doing and attracting.
What do you think? Does this make sense to you? Do you have some strategies you would like to share, please do below.
Spirituality… gateway to peace and grace, ultimately the ability to share these gifts with other’s via a high level of awareness.
Hi Sean Thanks for the post. I am writing to clarify for me as I have a similar situation with my daughter who is not happy. It is completely ok for her to not be happy as it is her free will choice and hers to address and sometimes getting frustrated with life is the push we need to look for more so to speak. Yet if her unhappiness bothers me which it does to some extent then it is mine to address something within me. I want her to be happy but I also have discovered over the years she is never happy with me no matter what I do so it would indicate to me hmmm stop trying to please her, release the need to be accepted by her. Yes I could choose to do soem things that make her happy, buy her a book, take her travelling and she would be in those moments. She is one of my teachers and we have some sort of soul contract we are working out. So I am to address how I feel about it and look within whihc means to me to address each thing as it arises … within.. I have also have a responsiblity as her parent to teach her to be responsible among othre things. I could leave or be to do what she wants and she still isnt’ happy with me. I do have rules for her to follow in our house (this is new for me to stand up for myself) and she doesn’t like this either. For me the only thing I see at the moment, is to address what arises within with each interaction with her. Not sure if I should send it as it was for my benefit but I would say for your wife, if it bothers you, look within, release and transmute what is there. I feel that when we have addressed everything, the other person no matter what they do will not bother/trigger us in anyway no matter how they are being and … maybe it will change as we have changed. Thank You. You helped me clarify my releationship. Ah Life š Blessings to You Sean.
