Focus on abundance

Choose to let your troubles remind you of your blessings. Challenge yourself to focus your attention on the positive influences and possibilities in your life.

No matter how difficult the situation, that difficulty will always be outweighed by the goodness to which you are connected. Each and every good thing in your life that you call to mind will help to melt away the anxiety and strengthen your sense of peaceful purpose.

When troubles come along, respond by making a mental list of the good things in your life. You’ll quickly realize that they are far too numerous to ever completely count.

Turn your attention to the things of real value with which you are blessed. It will illuminate new possibilities and inject positive energy into your efforts.

Thinking of one thing for which you can be thankful leads you right to another, and another, and yet another. That kind of thinking will point you out of the darkness and into the light.

Focus on the real abundance in your life. And your loving attention will make that abundance grow.
