Always Enough

Thought will always bring back to us what we send out.  Ernest Holmes

We know that what we think, comes about.  And since our experience is the sum total of what we have thought, it makes sense that when we are lacking good results in our lives, it is necessary to clean up our thoughts.  

What I find fascinating is that my thoughts are creative whether I am thinking positive or negative.  I get what I think.  Recently, in working with a client, we had a discussion of what was not enough in her life - namely, not enough money.  Several times during our give and take, the statement was, “I need enough money.”  

“I need enough money,” implies lack.  So, since it is a dominate thought, lack is what shows up.  Sometimes we get abounding lack in order to “get the lesson.”  

Changing our thoughts from negative statements to positive ones are challenging.  Because of the habit of being negative, catching what we are thinking or saying is not the easiest to get.  What happened to me was that I was just so tired of now “having,” that I finally got the message.  

So, instead of “not having enough,” I changed my thinking to “always enough.”  Before I paid my bills, I affirmed to myself that I always have enough.  The first time I experienced this, I only had $1.00 left over.  But I realized that I had enough.  But what to do about the rest of the month?  When I thought about money, I reaffirmed that I always have enough.  I did get through the month.  I dipped into my pantry inventory and ate up lots of foods that didn’t exactly go together, but I had enough to eat.  I was taken out to lunch or dinner several times, so I didn’t need money.  I started the month with a full tank of gasoline in my car, so I didn’t need any until the last week.  I found that I could walk to several locations in order to “save” gas.  It worked.  I got through the month with a dollar left over.

The next month was easier and I had more left over because I always have enough.  Whether you need money, friends, joy and laughter, love, food, or whatever, you always have enough.  Or change it to, “more than enough.”  Your choice.  You may have a greater idea about what you are experiencing.  Use it.

It is okay to experiment with this concept and see what happens in your life.    I choose to have “good results” no matter what my circumstances are.  Blessing on your journey.
