Thank you @eco-alex for posting the ecoTrain question of the week! I did have to ponder on this one for a few days.
Abundance Woes: What have you had too much abundance of, and how did you deal with it?
I realized today how I would answer this question when I had an epiphany about a gardening problem. Recently I had noticed that several of the garden patches that I had seeded with spring veggies did not sprout. Other types of veggies sprouted great! So I started troubleshooting and figured I needed to give those patches more water since the soil was drying. But they still didn't sprout. Of course a myriad of weeds were growing just fine thank you!
There is this little voice in the back of my mind. Actually it is more of a feeling than a voice. It often offers emotional responses to challenges in my life. If I really really step back and listen to what it had said I hear things like "You're not good enough of a gardener yet" or "You don't even know why its not working"
I have limiting beliefs about myself that play out time and time again and hold me back from experiencing more of the abundance that is inevitably all around me - always! What I realized about the garden is that I could embrace what grows really well and stop fighting so much to succeed at the things that don't want to grow as easily in my garden. A simple and succinct solution, if I am willing to let go of some control.
I knew this already... it was a lesson that has come up in my life before, but I haven't fully learned it yet. The other lesson that comes out of this moment is that there are an abundance of lessons for me in my life, at every moment. I can't always see those lessons, but they are there woven throughout my interaction with this world. The abundance of answers to my problems are literally in the air I breath, the pictures that I see and the sounds that I hear.
It is interesting to see my limiting beliefs. Literally - see them. Those limiting beliefs can be a tiny part of every visual stimulation I take in. They are a tiny part of every sound I hear. They are a tiny part of every experience that I absorb. My perception is laced with both scarcity and abundance at the same time - neither are simply an idea. They are an ongoing, ubiquitous invisible experience... invisible until I can see, feel and hear them.
In this moment I choose to thank the scarcity for helping to shape my limiting beliefs. In this moment I choose to embrace the abundance in my life.
