In reality, currency of abundance is gratitude and its by-product is joy. Fear and worry are “stop payment” on feeling abundant and experiencing joy.
Most seek abundance in form of money and material things. Are you aware of what you have? Do you appreciate what you have? Are you aware of what brings you real joy? Are you aware of what takes away your joy? What is point of eating expensive food if you do not enjoy it? What is point of having an expensive house if there is hardly a laughter or appreciation in it? What is point of having something valuable if all your focus is on protecting it than enjoying it? What is the point of holding on to a picture that we have not looked at for twenty years? What is the point of a book that we have not read in ten years and still want to hold on to? Enjoy the abundance you already have! Appreciate the people who love you! Say “I love you”, “I appreciate you”, “I am grateful” often. Do not delay celebrating what you already have! Abundance is richness in experiencing love, peace, joy and happiness. Abundance is appreciating what is. Copyright .2015 by Shervin Hojat

This is such great words of wisdom. There is a TV reality show called, "Hoarders" in which people are obsessed in acquiring material things, right up to the point where the relatives are doubting their sanity. Material things are just that - material things, and we can't thing them with us when we die. Enjoy what we can afford to buy without using the plastic cards in our wallets, keeping our sanity is the key to happiness. Those things we've bought which we can afford are the most enjoyable because they reflect on our net success. Having more things than we can afford only leads to worries.

frugality is the way to a true abundance but, please, be aware that what should be laid out must be laid out till every last jot; that's the whole point of getting a plenty. More practically, a lack of restraint I smell in the lines above. . . ;)) Cheers, alex

Very uplifting. Like counting one's blessings. For me, abundance is seeking every opportunity that comes along, like those that nature provides endlessly, and taking it for a ride… Short or long.
