There is Always Plenty

By Phylis Clay Sparks

We live on a wonderful planet. It has come equipped with plenty of everything to sustain and bless everyone who lives upon it. There is plenty of food, plenty of money, plenty of energy, plenty of love and plenty of possibility. We don't have a problem of lack, we have a distribution problem.

We might all ask ourselves, "What can I do to help solve the problem of distribution so that all people are supplied with their basic needs and set free to pursue their dreams?" And, "What can I do that I'm not already doing to distribute more respect back to Mother Earth?" The answers do not lie in denying ourselves any of the abundance that comes our way, but in our willingness to be distributors of a portion of the good that has flowed into our own lives. It's about all of us becoming full-time participants in the Law of Circulation with respect to each other as well as our planet.

Now in order to have more good to distribute, we must open ourselves to being better receivers. To become a better receiver, we must move out of guilt about having more than someone who is in the survival mode. We're not much help when we try to find solutions from the same level as the problem. We can do much more from a place of abundant flow. That is, providing our egos don't get stuck in greed, hoarding and fear about losing what we have. A person with a true prosperity consciousness is one who holds no fear, doesn't withhold, and is a conscious participant in giving.

We all have ways in which we can participate in the distribution of good on this planet. It's a lot of fun to watch the flow increase when you activate the Law of Circulation by giving away what you don't need, tithing your money to the sources of your spiritual nourishment, lending a helping hand, and in countless other ways, even a simple smile.

The part of this Law that many of us overlook, forget about, deny or don't understand, however, is the receiving part. The Law of Circulation is about both giving AND receiving. Get busy opening yourself to receive more and more good, whether it's money, love, purpose, fulfillment, joy, or other avenues of return for your investment of giving as a participant in one of God's most powerful laws.
