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.

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

  2. 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.

  3. 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”.
