We Already Have What We Need

Know Abundance
by Lanell Dike
Happy Monday!
The most pernicious myth of our existence is that there is something outside of ourselves that we need.
The most powerful freedom that knowing abundance gives us is this: the freedom from seeking external fulfillment.
What does this mean? Let’s break it down.
Name something you would like to do – to be – to create. A dream, vision or goal. Write this down.
Pause for a minute. Scan your life. Can you see where this dream, vision or goal is already present in your life? Already happening? Already in existence?
Can’t find it? Keep looking. It’s there.
Look everywhere – don’t limit yourself to your idea of how things should be. We do that a lot – create scenarios for how we think things should happen and narrow our perspective to only that which fits within our view and understanding.
For example, here are some myths that I’ve had:
- The myth: “I need to go to art school to be an artist.”
Reality: www.breatheonelove.com

- The myth: “I need a lot of supplies to create something.”
Reality: Glue sticks, magazines, paper, eyes and hands.

- The myth: “I need to own this building to create an art/community space.”
Reality: www.frisbiest.com

What scarcity myths are your thoughts circling around?
Everything starts from what you already have and grows from there.
Again we come back to ourselves: everything we need, we already have.
What do you have? What can you share?
