Personal Development Guidelines - Abundance
We are surrounded by abundance. Nature is lavish, even wasteful in its abundance. Anyone caring to look will find that an abundance of love, joy, money, and health is readily available to everyone willing to accept them. If there is any lack in our lives it's not because there is not enough, but rather, because we are limiting our intake. What we receive in life is controlled by the limits we place on our emotions, behaviors, thoughts and actions. There are many factors involved in our opening the valve that controls the flow of abundance in our lives. By the time we become aware of the fact that we create our own limits, our beliefs and habits that produce these limits are so ingrained that they are very difficult to change. Our quest for personal development and growth will help to overcome and change these habits. Society has its role to play. Since most of the world's governments have become capitalistic societies, it's in their best interest to promote conditions and belief systems that produce large numbers of have-nots. Simple economics tells us that in order for capitalism to thrive, there must be a large supply meeting a large demand and you must have people who are in debt to create a large enough demand to consume that large supply. The simple reality is that the governments of the world make their money from our poor health, debt, and our struggle to "just get by." Their abundance is dependent on our lack. As we progress along the path of personal development, we reverse these roles. This does not mean that we have to accept these limitations. While it's true that most people will never take advantage of information concerning the attraction of wealth and prosperity or personal development, it is freely available to anyone making an effort to look. The law of attraction says that the more you look, the more information you will attract. What fills your life is that upon which you focus. Focus on God first to attain personal development. Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven. Learning to create abundance in your life concerns much more than simply creating material wealth. It’s about enriching your “Self” as a whole. When you begin to understand the Biblical principles and laws that govern Abundance, you begin to understand that you are not constrained by the conditions of the economy or the amount of your present income. You are constrained by the limits of your belief. The deeper your belief, the more intense your relationship with Christ, the more God will increase your stewardship over His wealth. Your ability to increase your wealth, live in abundance, and have financial freedom is all based on your understanding of the universal Biblical laws that govern the flow of divine energy controlling your ability to turn potential into reality. These Biblical laws are the promises that God gives us. There is more to creating abundance than simply placing an order (praying for a financial blessing) or making a wish and sitting back to wait for its delivery. You must give something of value, adding to the flow, in order to initiate this. When you master the art of giving (your time, energy, interest, love, etc.) you start the release of abundance in your life. Jesus told us in John 10: 10, “ The thief has come to steal, kill and destroy. I have come so that they may have life and more abundantly. Wealth, money, success, love, and health are all result's of divine favor. Being part of the flow means that you are a participating member. Once you understand how to operate in the flow of that divine energy, you learn to work with the Source of energy and actively participate in creating your reality instead of simply letting random worldly thoughts create a chaotic existence for you. Abundance is not about living a healthy, vibrant life with a purpose and experiencing the joy that comes from possessing a strong sense of Self. It is realizing that your “self” is a purposed expression of God’s love. Personal Development and your beliefs
