Most of us live lives of scarcity.
We don't have enough time or money.
We could use new gadgets, a better car or bigger house.
We don't have enough support, friends or love in our life.
We feel alone, overwhelmed by our problems, our debts, our pain.
Scarcity is largely a symptom of perception. We feel deprived when compared to others or to an ideal. What we have is not enough, not good or of limited value. We may even feel inadequate ourselves, that we have nothing to offer.
Learning to sit with the discomfort of this perception and not continuing to indulge the storyline is a skill worth acquiring.
If we don't feed that perception we find that it is not true, it can't sustain itself. We discover the simplicity of being present. We tune in to appreciation of that which is right before us. We embody the fullness of being, a natural abundance and inner wealth.
When we have such a discovery the perception of scarcity vanishes like fog on a mirror. Abundance is naturally occurring and self-arising, it manifests as contentment, kindness and joy.
Not lacking anything yourself, that abundance desires to be shared. It would be wasteful to hold onto that which you yourself already have. Share it.
