Earth is your home.

This is your world, and it also belongs to every other being on it, (yes, even the mosquitoes). The earth is endlessly bountiful, generously providing us all with enough riches to support a whole world full of living beings.

You have the right to be here. Everything you have is made from the earth; your cell phone, shoes, food supply, car, books, computer, money. Everything we needed to grow, evolve, heal, and entertain ourselves, was already here.

Can you have for yourself the abundance that is true, everywhere, on this planet?

Does your definition of abundance include feeling well, having time to yourself, and having enough space to breathe and do as you please?

We’ve become used to equating value and abundance with how much money one has, but the truth is that having a lot of money doesn’t guarantee that you will feel abundant and prosperous. It doesn’t insure you against fear of the future, or make you happy.

Is it possible for you to have what you want, without having to bring enough for everyone?

Or, are you responsible for providing for the others?

Do you feel guilty if you get a windfall, do well on a test, get the callback, win the contest, get the job, have the happy relationship – when there are so many others who didn’t, can’t, won’t, or don’t have? Do you have guilt about having what you want?

If you have been responsible for keeping it together for others in your life, you may have a hard time simply having for yourself.

Can you have for yourself the beauty, wealth, health, happiness, peace, freedom, and love that exist in endless quantities in this Universe?

Can you trust in something you don't yet have and perhaps can't see, but know in your heart is possible?

Or do you control the number of gifts you accept, saying to yourself, 'that's enough now, I shouldn't have more, I don't want to be greedy'. So you make bargains with yourself and others, perhaps unconsciously, that you'll only have so much, because you know, fairness.
