Abundance and richness

A simple joy offers far greater nourishment to your soul than a sophisticated spectacle does. What’s modest and genuine brings you more richness than anything that’s brash and contrived.

Emptiness in life cannot be filled by the equally empty promises of others, or by pre-packaged experiences that have no enduring substance. Emptiness is best filled with your commitment, effort, care, love, and generosity.

What’s fulfilling is not easy, and what’s easy is not fulfilling. That’s abundantly clear from the history of the world and the story of your own life.

Keep reminding yourself not to fall for the deceptions of ease, extravagance, and self-indulgence. You deserve so much more from your own priorities and actions.

Whatever you seek to gain from your experience of life, consider how to offer it in similar form and measure. Participate deeply and persistently in what matters, in what makes a positive difference.

Find abundance and richness in all that is true, and real, and good. Refuse to compromise your time and your life with anything else.
