How to Achieve Abundance

It is said that if all of the money in the world was taken from the wealthy and given to those who do not have it, that the wealthy would have it back in less than five years.  There are a number of interpretations of this statement.  It could be that the wealthy know how to make money better than others, or that they see opportunities where most people do not.  It could also be that they are better than most at dealing with adversity and finding a way to achieve success or that they cultivate the right associations with people and situations to make themselves successful.

The one common factor that all of these have is that the wealthy and successful create abundance.  They do not worry about what they are lacking, they see wealth and opportunity in everything they do.

This may seem like an unrealistically optimistic view of the world, but their optimism and abundant thinking are always tempered with realism.  They realise that very hard work is required to be successful and do not recoil from it.  Rather they seek it out, looking to solve challenges for themselves and others that they know will be profitable.

The wealthy and successful do not let little things put them off their main goals; they realise that big successes are created by dealing with large issues and actively seek them out.  This ability to see opportunity as abundance even in difficulties is a skill that can be learned, however, by most people.

The first step is to see money like oxygen:  something that is all around you and constantly present.  Not in a vulgar way where we are surrounded by material things, but in an omnipresent way where money is always available for the asking when we need it, just like oxygen.  When we see money as a constant presence, we cultivate abundance because we know that we can get it when we need it.  Having this abundance mindset, coupled with a strong bent towards action, will help us see opportunities all around us. 

The second step is to act upon those opportunities.  When we have an abundance mindset, action becomes easier.  The wealthy act as if they have all the money they need and do not force the issue.  By acting with abundance, they can concentrate on solving the issues in the opportunities they have identified.

Imagine how you would act differently if you had all of the money you needed and did not have to worry about making it.  You would remove a great concern in your life and free your mind to see abundance and opportunity all around you.  You would act and communicate differently and attract the same type of people to you.

This is the way the wealthy and successful act; this frees their minds to act on the opportunities this clarity gives them with the other people that have the same mentality. 

To create abundance, follow the two steps and see what incredible results you will create.
