Notes on Abundance

Some of my favorite ideas from Week 6:

As you expect God to be more generous, God will be able to be more generous to you.
What we really want to do is what we are really meant to do. When we do what we are meant to do, money comes to us, doors open for us, we feel useful , and the work we do feels like play to us.

(that's TRUE!)

Stuck and stymied, Alan described his block this way: "I try to play and I hear myself, and what I can do is so far away from what I want to do that I cringe." (and then quit.)

(ME TOO!) (but I'm really, really, really trying to be kinder and gentler to myself. Once I was labeled as being hypercritical with unrelenting standards (for myself) I was able to start letting myself settle for less and feel okay about it.)

Creative living requires the luxury of time, which we carve out for ourselves – even if it's fifteen minutes for quick morning pages and a ten-minute minibath after work.

(I'm working on that one. Baby steps. Like eating a whale, one bite at a time. Fifteen minutes. I can make that. Right?)

It does feel good to create the luxury of time to write all of this out.
