Don't Expect Life Abundance Until You Establish Your Purpose in Life

By: Matthew M. DeSilva

What is abundance?
Dictionary.com defines it as "a great or plentiful amount". I figure that's an adequate launching point. I feel you must begin to ask yourself, "What is it that I want prosperity in?".
A great many people relate this idea of being fulfilled to financial concerns. While this is an important area, all arenas of your life can give you a feeling of having "a great or plentiful amount". Which leads me to a thought.
To me, seeking prosperity in my life is a pursuit for a feeling. Isn't there a sensation you get when you feel bountiful? When you come to a new realization in your spiritual life, you feel prosperous inside. You experience fulfillment. You feel inner peace. When you manage your financial matters properly and everything is taken care of, you feel that inner fulfillment.
Is that not how you experience these circumstances? It is for me. This is true when I take care of my health and I exercise. Or when I take time to click off the TV and read in order to learn something new. I'm bettering my mind and I feel that abundance. I feel the peace and stillness within myself.
So, to me, although the definition of abundance seems to speak of gaining or having something, it's not those "things" that I want, it's that "feeling".
Can you relate to this? Are you fed up with feeling a bit empty, a bit out of touch with yourself and what makes you, you? If so, I think it's time you put the brakes on a bit and start to go more within yourself to dig up the solutions.
It wasn't until I began to do this that I saw what was truly important to me. When you search for life abundance and that feeling of inner stillness, it helps you to negate everything the media, television, or family have inundated you with since you began your life journey.
You understand how to sift through all this clutter and get to the bottom of what makes you fulfilled. You begin to see who your true inner self is and what you need.
Does this mean that you'll solve all your "issues" overnight? Heck, no!
But you begin to have more moments of inner peace. More moments where you realize, "You know, my life is abundant in so many areas." And as time goes on, you experience more of these moments.
Ultimately, I think that's what we're all here to do. We are here to determine how to figure ourselves out until we live a ripened life of tranquility. A life where we know deep within ourselves that we simply "fit" whatever life situations we've constructed for ourselves.
If the key to you living a life of abundance is knowing yourself better, are you prepared to start digging? Are you poised to meet the concerns within that keep you from financial, emotional, physical or spiritual abundance?
I think it takes a little time, a little work (on yourself) to realize the "whole", abundant life you're looking for. We live in a "give it to me now" or "fix me now" society. But you're extraordinary. What may be easy for you is hard for others and vice versa.
Of course, some challenges can be fixed immediately by just determining to change. But I urge you to have patience with yourself. Grant yourself the time to permit change to come to you naturally.
Many of your problems can be traced to the "fight" between the conscious and subconscious aspects of yourself. You must instruct your conscious mind to quiet down so you can become acquainted with the deeper "you". This deeper "self" will allow you to know your life purpose and permit prosperity to flow into your life in all the vital areas.
Take the time to investigate within, recognize your purpose in life, and grasp how much your mind's thoughts either stop you from achieving a life of abundance or help you find real inner peace.
