Arguably, true abundance might be contentment–everything as is, without justification, categorization, or rationalization. Being in the present, in other words, and feeling the default wellbeing that comes with that state.

On the other end of the spectrum, plenty of folks have had a glut of resources and time, and lived most of their lives in soul-grating shortage. Don’t get me wrong, I love having money and time, but I think in terms of true abundance, they don’t quite check all the necessary boxes.

    You could be relatively poor, and still live in abundance. It’s probably a lot to do with mindset.

    A man like me ask, why can’t I have it all?

    Life will force you to pick a path even when you think you know the field.
    “I had other options?”
    When you flood the mind but still hear 1 voice; I know who that is.

    Abundance can rescue. I stock things like toilet paper, paper towels, bottled water, and laundry detergent (to name a few) in abundance. During COVID, when everyone else was paying $5 a roll for TP, I had enough to wipe the asses of a small village. So I guess one would have to clarify “abundance”.

    Money and material are means to an end. That end MIGHT bring some satisfaction… might. I agree that real abundance is based in contentment and peace. Finding a way to be in the moment brings both of those, as I see it. I can’t deny having some attachment to material (and money for that material). I’m typing this on a rather nice computer system with a rather nice keyboard. But I have experienced total contentment and peace without things like that, so let this older man tell you that you’re onto something. Good stuff, Kent.
