Have there been times in your life when you acted as though it was something to be endured? Believed that there was not enough good or joy, love or affection, not enough good to go around? When we are deeply connected with our Divine Source, we know only abundance. Knowing that our one true Source is God and It is at the center of our being, good flows out from us into the world and can only return to us as more good.

Today, I expect a more abundant life. I keep my whole mind and thought and expectations open to new experiences, expect happiness, and more avenues for self-expression. I give out more love, expecting greater love in return. I share what I have, for all that I have is good. I see beauty everywhere in my life and in so doing I expect more beauty. I see joy in everything, and am blessed with more laughter, more joy, and more love in my life. Knowing that Divine tranquility is in all things, I expect a deeper consciousness of peace, serenity and security. I know that I am in the embrace of a warm, loving, Presence whose nature it is to give and it is my nature to receive. It is the flow of my life, to receive, to be grateful, and to give freely to others. I live in an abundant Universe. I know this to be true and I am grateful. And so it is.
