“If you shift your perspective, and stop your assuming
That it’s not enough, it might begin blooming.”
It’s so easy to forget about what we already have. To look around and not see what we think is enough. But, what is “enough” anyway? What are you wanting or think you are missing? Are you sure you don’t have what you need, already?
How to Appreciate What You Have, Now
Instead of focusing on the things you think you are lacking, take a good look around you, at what is right here. What can you appreciate in this moment? What are some simple things that you have right now that maybe you were overlooking? See the value in the simple things, appreciate what is already around you. When you do, you will see them in a new way.
“If you’re not happy now, more won’t do any good,
‘Cuz more doesn’t bring joy; never did, never could.”
We can get so focused on wanting MORE that don’t appreciate what we have now. More isn’t a place we can ever get to. Once you get what you wanted, you start wanting more.
How to See that You Have Enough
Instead of looking for more, trying to get something different or new, think about what you have. How many of the things that you have now were things you once wanted? What are the things in your life that you wanted in the past and then actually got them? Be grateful for all that you actually have now because You HAVE Enough.
“It’s only through sharing that you can discover
The joy and connection found giving to others.”
It can be easy to hang on to and not share the things we have, especially if it’s something we really wanted or think we will run out of. But, sharing with others has a very powerful effect. When you are grateful for what you have, you see that there is plenty to share.
How to See that There IS Enough
Sharing with others really shows you that maybe you don’t need as much as you thought, and that sharing helps you appreciate what you have. This act of gratitude helps your enough to grow and you see that There IS Enough.
“When you’re grateful for you, you will easily see
That YOU are Enough as you are, here with me.”
Don’t forget to be truly grateful for who you are. The world needs more people who are their authentic selves, not trying to be like everyone else. Plus, only you can be you, and the world needs YOU, as you are.
How to See that You Are Enough
When you appreciate your real self, and are grateful for all the wonderful things that make you truly unique, then you will see that You Are Enough.
“Land of Enough was always like this.
But because you weren’t grateful, you easily missed
All the great things you have. So please look, they exist!”
Being grateful and appreciating what you already have, who you truly are, and how you can share it all transforms everything into ENOUGH. The world around us can look so different, and better, when we look at it through grateful eyes.
How to Always Be in Enough
Keep reminding yourself of what makes you special and unique, and appreciate it. Share when you can because it shows such gratitude for what you have. And finally, be grateful for everything and you will always be in Land of ENOUGH.
Here is one last travel tip to take with you:
“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more.
If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.”
― Oprah Winfrey
