The Pie is Not Limited This is an abundant universe with more than enough for everyone. The implication, sometimes blatant - but more often subtle - is that the thing you desire is finite. Tangible or intangible, there’s not enough and if you don’t take yours, you’ll miss it. There’s only so much pie to go around because it's limited. The truth, however, is that the pie is not, in fact, limited. Abundance is everywhere in everything This is not a universe of lack, scarcity, or insufficiency. It’s an abundant universe. Stretch your mind and see that abundance is real in both the material and immaterial. Most, if not all lack, scarcity, and insufficiency are artificial. The pie is not limited. When it comes to the things you want and desire, tangible or intangible, the pie is infinite. The limited pie is a trick Implications of lack, scarcity, and insufficiency – limited pie – are false. They’re artificial, created by this person, that government, that industry, or whatever/whoever else to disempower. People who believe in lack, scarcity, and insufficiency are disempowered. Why does empowerment matter? You are the only one in your head, heart, and soul. Nobody else can think your thoughts, feel your feelings, experience your emotions, and so on. You’re it. Outside influences can provide some info and context. However, for the most part, empowerment comes from within. Active conscious awareness is mindfulness. You gain it not via your 6 senses, but rather your inner being. Becoming aware, in the present, of your thoughts, feelings, actions, approach, and intentions, makes you consciously aware. Using them or changing them is mindful and empowers you. Empowerment is how you choose and decide for yourself how to live your life. This will show you that the pie – tangible or intangible – is not limited. This is an abundant universe with more than enough for everyone. The notion that the pie is limited is not true. This week’s Applied Guidance for Mindfulness Tool: Write out a list of all the things you need or desire to have. This should include both tangibles and intangibles. Divide the list into three parts. Must haves                       Not absolute musts       Desires you can live without Figure out the things you can’t live without, the things you really want but aren’t musts, and the things you desire but could live without. Is there anything on this list that’s not abundant? If not, why not? If you have it, doesn’t someone else go without (or will they just have to wait for the next production run or choose an equal alternative?) Does this reveal to you how much there is to go around, and more?
