The long months of COVID-19 are weighing heavily on our hearts, minds, and spirit. But perhaps, on reflection, we can discover that we caught the virus of abundance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Life<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is a lie that acts like a virus within the mind of humanity. And that lie is \u2018There\u2019s not enough good to go around. There\u2019s lack and there\u2019s limitation and there\u2019s just not enough.\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This quote is from Michael Bernard Beckwith, founder of a spiritual center in\u2014of all places\u2014Beverly Hills, Calif. Agape is not your traditional church in any sense of the imagination, but at its core are ministry programs to feed the homeless, serve the imprisoned, advocate for the planet, and care for children that are victims of war and AIDS. Michael and his followers put no limits on the good they do, even during Covid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of us have been dealing with an Orwellian life for over a year. The Year of Denial! Don\u2019t go to the store, don\u2019t go out to eat, don\u2019t go to school, don\u2019t board an airplane, don\u2019t get married or die because no one will show up to celebrate your marriage or your life. We feel deprived because we are deprived. But no one can take away our abundance if we don\u2019t let them take it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all have a choice between an Abundance Mentality or a Scarcity Mentality. If lockdowns have left us feeling as though we aren\u2019t living a full life, we can choose to feel overcome with negativity, or we can choose to celebrate the gift of time<\/em> with family, less time at the mall, home delivery, less gasoline consumption, or freedom from the dreaded commute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can choose<\/em> to live with an abundance mindset and find a \u201crevised world\u201d still full of possibilities. This decision toward positivity leads to opportunity, and when you believe that there\u2019s enough opportunity for success to go around, you\u2019ll catch the virus of abundance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As money-wise Suze Orman once said, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAbundance is about being rich, with or without money.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
