Enough

Abundance is not about having more.
Abundance is about having enough and knowing it.
This is harder than it sounds. 
The culture says: you never have enough.

But more never makes you complete. 
If you don't feel enough now, 
more won't make you
feel enough later. 

The practice of sufficiency: 
Look at what you have. 
Not what you lack.
Is it enough? 
For this moment, 
for today, 
for your actual needs? 
If the answer is yes,
then you have abundance. 

Abundance is not a quantity. 
Abundance is a relationship
between what you have 
and what you need. 

Abundance is the experience of enough.
And enough is always available, 
always possible,
always a choice.
