What do you consider to be abundance?

Some time ago I had a dawning realisation. It was just after I found a brand new, shiny penny on the street and picked it up. I smiled and was happy that I had found a penny and thought to myself, “I’m a penny richer than I was five minutes ago”.

I put the shiny penny in my pocket and twirled it over and over between my fingers.

The constant movement of the penny started me thinking about abundance and I realised that, to me, a penny was abundance!

I started to think about my business and realised that I got excited and happy when I earned 50 cents on Adsense or made one product sale in a week.

And then I got angry.

I got very angry.

My blood started to boil and I could feel the rage building inside me.

How absolutely ridiculous of me to consider a few pennies as abundance. No wonder I was struggling so much financially and having problems - my idea of abundance wasn’t thousands of dollars.

My idea of abundance wasn’t hundreds of dollars.

My idea of abundance wasn’t even ten dollars.

My idea of abundance was finding a PENNY on the ground.

How much was this mindset limiting my progress and holding me back from being truly abundance?

IT WAS LIKE PUSHING ON A DOOR THAT SAID PULL!

Effectively, I was spending my life pushing on that door and getting nowhere because I was HAPPY TO ACCEPT a penny as abundance.

I then channelled by anger at myself into action and started to develop my business in a whole new way and change the way I thought and before I knew it, things began to change.

My mindset had to change and so I decided to one where a penny wasn’t abundance; to one where earning 50 cents on Adsense in a day wasn’t abundance.

These were things to be angry about because they were so low and so poor and to work on increasing.

Right then and there, I made a decision that I was no longer going to accept that earning 50 cents in a day was good. 50 cents in a day was TERRIBLE. 50 dollars in a day … now that was good.

With this new found focus and decision, things changed. Things changed dramatically, but that’s a whole new story for another day.
