Overcome
Thoughts of Scarcity
The economy
and rocky stock market has caused many Americans to loose
jobs and money in retirement accounts. In her book, "Simple
Abundance," Sarah Ban Breathnach shares thoughts
of overcoming the fear and worry of scarcity in our lives.
"Worries
about money mock you. They steal the joy of living because
they follow you around all day like a dark, menacing shadow.
Without thinking, you throw away every precious 24-hours that
come your way. You cease to live.
"If
you are worried about money today, take heart. Your have the
power to change your lifestyle and move from a feeling of
lack and deprivation to feeling of abundance and fulfillment.
Money ebbs and flows in our lives. What should remain constant
is our realization that abundance is our spiritual birthright.
American gospel singer Mahalia Jackson once said that 'It
is easy to be independent when you've got money. But to be
independent when you haven't got a thing - that's the Lord's
test.'
"The
simpler we make our lives, the more abundant they become.
There is no scarcity except in our souls."
-- Sarah Ban Breathnach
