We are so conditioned to want what we don’t have. It’s strategic, “cradle to the grave” marketing. We have messages flashing before us that keep telling us that we don’t have enough, we need this or that to be happy. We need this or that to feel fulfilled. These ideas so often take us away from appreciating what we do have right now.

What we have in this moment is something to be grateful for and it is so important not to look past that in hopes of feeling fulfilled by something we don’t have right now. The QUICKEST way to feel fulfilled in the moment is to be be grateful for what we DO have.

What other people think of what we have is not OUR business. OUR business is to align our OWN energy with love, abundance, and peace, and we have EVERYTHING we need to do that within OURSELVES. Comparing ourselves to others as less or more than all happens in the energy of fear, lack, and separation. Rising up together comes from the energy of love, abundance, and peace. Showing others how to rise up and appreciate the gifts they have is contributing to the energy of love, abundance, and peace.

Today’s practices are to look at what we do have and be in gratitude for it. That’s not just saying I’m grateful, it’s FEELING it. One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned is if we don’t have it in this moment, we don’t need it. If we are aligned with love, abundance, and peace, what we have won’t break us. It won’t extend us beyond what is in our budgets, because if we are aligned, the way appears. I had this happen with trips, events, paying bills, and so much more.

Anything we get outside of us won’t MAKE us happy, abundant, peaceful, and/or free. If we want to live aligned with love, abundance, and peace, which is where happiness projects from, we have to live in the state of gratitude for what we DO have.

Look around and within you and see just how much you do have to be grateful for. My list could go on for pages, and I don’t have thousands of dollars in my bank account, a house I own, a luxury car, or even a gym membership. Yet, I live abundantly and get all my needs met, and I know that because I’m here right now. I’m breathing. If and when I’m meant to have any of those things, I will. Not having them doesn’t stop me from living my best life in this moment. Even if my best life in this moment is not easy, it doesn’t mean I’m not doing the best I can with what I have.

Today’s Aligning

• I have teenagers who I have great relationships with

• I have money in my bank account
• I have a computer to write these words

Today, I’m going to see just how many pages I can fill with truly honoring and appreciating what I DO have right now.

Abundance

Today, I’m so grateful for what I DO have!

Peace

I put my hand over my heart. I take three deep breaths while sitting in appreciating for what I do have.

With Love, Abundance, and Peace,
