From Here to There - Leading With Abundance

I know many people who intuitively succeed. They seem to go from here to there seamlessly. How is that?

Have you ever wondered what the keys to YOUR success are?

Hard work. Tenacity. Focus. Persistence. These are all top-of-the-list characteristics for success. Yet, there is one other leadership trait that the seamlessly successful have in common. I have noticed it in my own leadership and life; when I embody the energy and attitude of abundance, I naturally streamline from ‘here to there’ toward my goals and dreams.

The energy of abundance fuels and directs every breath you breathe into realizing your vision. When you embody abundance you open pathways to bringing your dreams to life.

With an abundance perspective, you believe in the possible. You lead yourself with clarity, confidence and capability. This way of being allows you to focus, in the moment, on what is needed.

Conversely, an attitude of scarcity diverts your attention to protecting, guarding and begrudging. These forms of energy shift your focus away from your vision, and you fail to lead yourself well. You could say you fall out of alignment, attracting what you don’t want.

So if you’re with me up to here, you may be asking, “how do you create an abundance attitude?”

Here are three tangible tips for fostering abundance as part of your way of being and igniting the power to lead yourself from here to there.

1. Practice Gratitude: Notice and be thankful for all that is around you. FEEL GRATEFUL! This is not a head game — it’s an energy game. Experience gratitude through all your senses. Here are a few ways to do this:

~ Every day as you wake up, feel the energy of life course through your veins and express thanks for another day in which you can bring abundance to the world. Commit to doing just that.

~ Throughout the day, take a few mindful moments to center in the present and express gratitude for what is in your current environment . See abundance around you.

~ As the day ends, take a moment of stillness where you can acknowledge 2–3 gifts of your day.

Gratitude brings real time awareness to the reality of our abundant life.

2. Don’t believe everything you think. So many people are conditioned to believe in scarcity. This is expressed as the dog eat dog world, or there are only so many pieces of the pie, mentality. You also have a 1000 stories to support these victim-type thoughts ultimately derailing your energy.

Practice bringing attention to scarcity thoughts when they occur. You’ll know when it happens because your energy will dip and you will feel - off. Stop and acknowledge the thought, yet, don’t buy into the futility of it. Tell yourself gently, “this negative voice isn’t me or my reality.”

Be responsible and lead yourself to shift your energy and choose an attitude of abundance.

3. Pay it forward — it comes back. Lead your life abundantly. This is not just buying someone in the car behind you a coffee, which, don’t get me wrong, is a kind gesture and goes a long way.

I am talking about giving the gift of inner and outer abundance freely. Share your knowledge, talents, time, patience, joy and love out into the world. Don’t be your own best-kept secret. Ignite the infectiousness of abundance and see it return to you in focus, energy and ultimately success.

Before you know it, the seamless influence of abundance will have you living your vision today — from here to there!
