Our culture likes to tell scarcity stories:

“There’s not enough for everyone.”

“You’ve gotta fight for what you have.”

“Money comes hard.”

“You’d better be damn near perfect and hustle very hard or you might lose everything.”

Lies.

Propaganda.

Should you need some evidence that this Universe of ours is *actually* wildly abundant in resources, LOOK UP.

Look at the leaves on the trees. That’s what the creative power of this Universe does.

And it flows through you.

But back to those leaves.

As I drove home from the gym this morning, I looked at all the trees around me and wondered: How many leaves are in Oakland?

Then: How many leaves are in this world?

So I asked Google: How many leaves are in the whole wide world?

Estimates ranged from 120 quadrillion and 1 quintillion.

Guys: 120 quadrillion was the low end.

The same Power that created all those leaves flows through you.

That same Divine Creative Power is waiting for you to stop resisting and let it flow through you.

It wants to team up with you to turn your ideas and your dreams into your real life, creating whatever it is you came here to be, do, have, delight in, create and (most importantly) learn.

But wait: there’s more.

You know what this Universe has even more of than leaves?

Bugs.

If 1 quintillion leaves seems like a Very Big Number, wait till you get a load of this: There are an estimated 10 quintillion bugs on the planet at any given time.

That is 10 to the power of nineteen.

That is this many bugs: 10,000,000,000,000,000,000.

And you think there’s not enough money, love, happiness, success, or whatever else in this Universe for you????

For real?

Nah.

This Universe is limitless.

And so are you.

I have it on Divine Authority.

You can stop telling that scarcity story now.

Use every excuse possible, every leaf on every tree or bug you see, to tune yourself to the station of abundance.

Do this and abundance will become the story of your new reality.

Here’s a micro-challenge:

For the next 24 hours, act and make decisions as if you will have access to everything you need, exactly when you need it.

Act and make decisions as if everything is always working out for you.

Act and make decisions that you feel called and led to make as if you’ll survive if you do them, even though the fear and voices in your head make you feel a tiny bit like you’ll die.

Hit reply tomorrow and let me know how it goes.

Head up + heart out,

P.S. Few quick caveats:

1. You might find that reading this stirs up some thoughts you have to the contrary, like the belief that the world cannot be as abundant as this. 

If so, excellent . Those thoughts of lack can’t come with you into your season of abundance. Best that you see them now, so you can release them sooner than later. 

2.  Lest you be tempted to argue with this evidence of abundance by pointing to all the poverty in the world, keep this in mind: The solution is never found on the same level as the problem.

In other words, you can’t eliminate lack by focusing on lack.

In other words, the most helpful you can be to the poor is to live a generous and abundantlife, taking inspired action to be part of the solution whenever you feel called and led to.

3.This worldview ain’t for everyone. It’s only for people who want to enjoy their lives and are willing to set down their struggle portfolios in exchange for a shot at joy.

4. One of the number one reasons we keep our struggle stories around is that we think we’ll be all alone in the world if we give them up.

You will, indeed, seem weird to others around you if you adopt this point of view.

Some of them won’t be able to deal, and they’ll opt out of your world. Try this Dave Richo mantra to cultivate independence from other people’s opinions: People go and people stay, and I’m okay. 

Others will see your life change unfold over time, and they’ll want what you’re having.

And many others, the other joy trippers of the world, whole squads of people you didn’t even know were right there, will become attracted to you, like a magnet. 

A Quick Note from Tara: 

It’s August, so I’m in Monk Mode. Working on my book, remodeling my business and … letting some new places woo me. 

I’ll fill you in on that later….

While I’m gone, I’m re-sharing some all time favorites from the Transformation Tuesday archive. Enjoy!
