If you're reading this, you've probably been struggling with abundance lately, and want more blessings to make their way into your life. Do you want to live your dream life, an abundant life, a life where you decide where you go and what you do? In this article we will discuss a few ways and daily habits that you can use to manifest abundance into your life.
What is Abundance?
Abundance is usually associated with wealth, but in reality, you can have an abundance of many things. One can be abundant in love, abundant in joy and happiness, abundant in good health, abundant in time, and of course, classically abundant in things such as success, wealth, and riches.
So, how do you manifest abundance?
Now that we've understood what abundance is, we can go ahead and start attracting abundance into our lives. The key to attracting abundance is forming an abundance mindset. If you think this is crazy, just stay with me here. Read some of the methods, have an open mind and give them a wholehearted try. A real try. Once you realize that your perception and thoughts create and shape your reality, the whole playing field of life has changed. It may take people a minute to come to this realization. For others it may take years. But trust me when I say that you can't bash it until you've given it an honest try. What's the worst that can happen?
Desire
Everything in this world starts out as a desire. Each person's desires shape what they work for. If you have a strong yearning for abundance, you're on a great start. If you don't, begin to create that within you. Say to yourself every night before you go to sleep and every morning when you wake up what you want, until it turns into a burning passion. You will realize once you have this desire that you cannot let it go, and you can't help but act upon it until you transform it from being a thought form into this physical reality.
Abundance Mindset
An abundance mindset is all about infusing positive emotions into the way you look at money and wealth. Your mindset is the backdrop upon which you act in the world, subconsciously or not. So if you have limiting beliefs about money, why work hard to try and attain it. The reverse is also true. If you believe anyone and everyone can live an abundant life, why not work hard and try to attain that?
Keep track of your thoughts, what is your mindset regarding wealth currently? Is your mind coming up with positive thoughts or negative ones? This will help you pinpoint what exactly you need to change to create an abundance mindset.
Let Go of Limiting Beliefs
In order to manifest wealth, you got to get your belief system in order. Get rid about your limiting beliefs surrounding money. A lot of people create these stories for themselves about wealth, abundance, and money, they are simply not true. These thoughts can look like:
-
Money is bad or evil
-
Money is limited
-
Not everyone can be wealthy
-
Rich people are bad people
If you catch yourself thinking one of these thoughts, replace it with one that aligns more with your future goals and the abundance mindset that you are creating.
Money is everywhere. The opportunities to create wealth are endless. There is an infinite amount of abundance available for us to grab. There is no cap on the amount of money anyone can make. I will quote the famous classic The Richest Man in Babylon to prove this:
And then another friend spoke up and said, "If what you tell is true, and it does seem as you have said, reasonable, then being so simple, if all men did it, there would not be enough wealth to go around."
"Wealth grows wherever men exert energy," Arkad replied. "If a rich man builds him a new palace, is the gold he pays out gone? No, the brickmaker has part of it and the laborer has part of it, and the artist has part of it. And everyone who labors upon the house has part of it. Yet when the palace is completed, is it not worth all it cost? And is the ground upon which it stands not worth more because it is there? And is the ground that adjoins it not worth more because it is there? Wealth grows in magic ways. No man can prophesy the limit of it. Have not the Phoenicians built great cities on barren coasts with the wealth that comes from their ships of commerce on the seas?"

Even something that might seem trivial, like saying thank you for having food to eat, will help you start to see the blessings in your life. Not only can gratitude help cultivate abundance, but it's scientifically proven to increase happiness, especially when you make it a long-term habit and practice it on a daily basis.
Giving Back
While it may seem counterintuitive, giving back is a critical component to attract abundance. We at Mili, give 10% of our profits to charity, because we know that giving back is one of the secret laws of the universe to create wealth.
Once you let go of the idea that you need money, it will be much easier to give back. Once you start giving to others, God, the higher power, the universe, whatever you believe in, will see you as his personal investment bank, a person that he can invest in to conduct his activities here in the physical world.
