I Am Thankful For Scarcity For Abundance Came From It

I was like an insect trapped in amber. The void reigned in my heart, it was a drought. You gave me crumbs, made of cobwebs with love, a house without furniture where plants were not watered. But in the end I appreciate your scarcity because I ran away from rediscovering my own abundance. My strengths, my fullness…

From an emotional and even spiritual point of view , we can define abundance as a state of grace that reminds us that we have everything we want and need, or at least for the most part.

It’s like vibrating at the perfect frequency where your emotions are in tune with your thoughts.

Scarcity vs Abundance

On the contrary, poverty or scarcity is a sad common state of being in which resistance is created. Where we lack the mental and emotional openness necessary for positive and rewarding changes to take place.

Likewise, in addition to not having that internal, fulfilling harmony, “poor” people usually have the subtle ability to project their emotional poverty onto those around them.

It is very possible that you have experienced this. Going through life with a power figure with these characteristics (whether it’s your partner, family member, or even boss) creates a climate of absolute scarcity.

Almost without realizing it, we are trapped in amber, that nutrient-depleted poisonous resin, to the point where we let go of our dignity, that vital nutrient…

The dynamics of scarcity, a common condition

Now if we ask what is the most important way to live in abundance, the answer couldn’t be simpler: emotional generosity.

However, nothing is more difficult to put into practice. Nothing has more nuances and dark corners than the concept of ‘generosity’.

The reason? We are used to thinking only about our shortcomings and when we feel that ‘something is missing’, it is very difficult to ‘provide something’.

With emotional generosity, we’re not just talking about opening ourselves up to others to connect with them, comfort them, carry their burden, or bring happiness to someone else’s heart. We also talk about ‘being generous’ with ourselves.

Many of us have descended into that strange, reactionary and unhealthy layer of our conscience where we do nothing but think about everything we don’t have, everything we lack. (I don’t feel appreciated, I don’t feel loved as I deserve, they don’t appreciate me at work, I feel alone and misunderstood…)

As we keep widening those holes, we also plant the seeds of frustration, depression, and resentment. So what we actually achieve with all this is that we completely block the law of abundance.

The Law of Abundance in Romantic Relationships

There are times in our relationships when we feel fulfilled. Whereupon, as William Blake said, we see the universe in a grain of sand, the sky in a wildflower, and the infinite in the palm of our hand.

That is without a doubt abundance. It’s the perfect balance, where your emotions and mine, your dreams and mine, your values ​​and mine all rhyme and together make the most beautiful poetry, our poetry.

This ideal state is not easy to achieve, it is true. Because if there’s one thing that comes with the power to break abundance in a relationship, it’s an emotional imbalance. Especially a lack of generosity, both towards ourselves and our partner.

Let’s admit it, sometimes we throw ourselves into the arms of someone who isn’t good for us. We do it with a hungry heart, blindfolded, already longing for love, but completely forgetting to love ourselves.

We stop being generous to ourselves to feed the other. But suddenly we find ourselves in a cycle of poverty, the prison cell of scarcity. We come to believe that we should be happy with crumbs. After all, it’s better than nothing, as they say…

We settle for so little that we even forget that we wanted everything before. Above all, we forget that love means abundance. That those who love you enrich you and those who ‘love themselves, take care of themselves’.

So let’s remember that we have the responsibility and privilege of being the creators of our own happiness and that this happens from within.

Because abundance is nothing more than an emotion that encourages us to help ourselves, to see what we are worth: fulfillment, balance and the kind of love that doesn’t hurt, but helps us grow.
