One the most damaging things we can do to ourselves is use words of limitations, believing in the less than: scenarios, using vocabulary that enhances scarcity. To believe we have “more than enough” eliminates fears, anxieties and rash decisions.
The truth really is that we have more than enough. We really do. If we choose to believe this. Sometimes we just need to begin with the mantra. Reciting the words, “I have more than enough”. The mantra does not have to specific to love or finances or solutions, but instead just the simplicity it provides. You have more than enough. You more than enough strength, more than enough patience, more than enough freedom. You have more than enough. All you have to do is wear this mantra for a short time in your mind. Then eventually the mantra will drip down into the heart. You will not only feel full of possibilities, but full of faith and wholeness.
My friend Bihn Tran was a prison of war for over 10 years. He knew first hand the feelings of scarcity and less than. But he choose instead to believe he had more than enough. Years later, he made his way to America and he talks about how the grocery store here looked like Paradise. The aisle filled with “more than enough”. We have places like this all over America. Places that remind us we have more than enough. If you have just one person who loves you, this is more than enough. If you have one good day, this is more than enough. If you have one delicious meal, this is more than enough. Just believe this mantra in a small little moment. Sit with it. Recite it out loud. Over and over again. And then guess what? You just might shift this to your truth. Before you know it, you will no longer focus on your scarcities. You will no longer use words that seem less than or fearful. You will no longer speak with phrases focused on “not having”, but instead celebrating with acknowledgements of what we do have. We need to stop speaking with limitations and sing with a more comforting truth. I have more than enough.
Try this today. Just state the mantra as many times as you can. When you eat. When you pay for things. When you speak of your love. When you notice the caring acts that people do for you. Stop and remind yourself, I have more than enough. Pretty soon you will truly believe this and the fullness will set you free. Because there is more than enough freedom to share. There is enough blessings to be given and enough prayers for us all. There is more than enough. Let’s all choose to wear this statement softly on our soul. It feels better than the tightness of scarcity.
