Abundance Requires Gratitude
Abundance is not forbidden, but should be felt gratefully appreciated, and overflow should be shared from the heart.
Beware the Spirit of Guilt
It is all right to be abundant, do not let the spirit of guilt overshadow and steal your joy. Greed is chasing the next big, shiny thing without first appreciating or being grateful for what you are already blessed with. In our disposable, consumer driven world, sometimes we get caught up in a current that promotes waste and we forget to be grateful. Where there is gratitude, greed does not dwell, but sometimes we judge ourselves harshly, we feel we are unworthy or feel judged by a world attempting to purify itself. Have you judged or condemned your neighbor for seemingly greed? Without knowing their heart, life story, or intentions, you should not project this spirit of guilt. It is not how much we have that makes us greedy or holy, but whether we are generous or unsharing. True it is not the stuff you have to enjoy in life, but sharing and enjoying the stuff with a grateful heart. The time spent with loved ones, being inspired, grateful, utilizing the tools we are given to share our talents with the world, is what the stuff is all about. It is not how much or how little, to each their own, but it is your heart and intentions that matter most of all. Do not be tempted to judge yourself or others so very harshly, life is hard enough and short enough, that it is perfectly all right to be abundant and enjoy, as long as you are abundant in spirit, kindness, and generosity as well.
What is Avarice?
