Life Abundance Sounds Great -
But What Is It, Exactly?

You see "life abundance" and similar terms all over the place these days... but what does it actually mean?

How do we create something if we don't really know what we're creating?

No specific meaning...?

When we first look at the term, it appears to be very subjective. If you ask ten thousand people what it means to them, you'll get ten thousand different answers.

Does that mean there's no specific meaning?

Actually there is a specific meaning, but we'll have to look "outside the box" to find it :)

To begin with, let's assume that our version of the term is actually something we want to have in our life.

You see, it's also very possible - and very common - to attract an abundance of things that we don't want. We could call it "negative life abundance". You probably know people who complain about how things they don't want (certain people, situations, events, objects, circumstances, you name it) are "always showing up in their life."

There's a very clear reason for that, but we'll leave the negative component for another section of the website. Here, our goal is to define the term in a positive context.

Thinking positively then, what you want can be anything - depending on who you ask. It could be freedom of creative or artistic expression. It might be financial wealth, freedom and security. Perhaps it's vibrant health and well-being, or loyal friends and loving relationships. Or the ability to serve and make a difference in the lives of others. It can be a combination of these things, or something else entirely. For some, "what you want" can simply be adequate food and a dry, safe place to sleep.

Perception→ Perspective

It's all a matter of perspective, which is determined by your perception. Factors such as your personality, surroundings, current situation, past experiences, upbringing, peers, education, religion, world view and beliefs all affect your perception - how you view and experience yourself and the world around you, and your relationship to it all.

Your perception determines what the term means to you. It might be health, freedom, wealth, love, friendship, fulfillment, success... anything at all, or any combination of things.

However, while all of these things are good, they're just means to an end. Any or all of them can certainly help you to live a wonderful life... but they are not life abundance themselves. They do not contain it and they do not create it: only you can do that.

When we look at it more closely, ultimately there is just one goal:

When you consider it, happiness is the goal of all other goals. We all want to do, have, be, experience and learn things because we believe we will experience some form of happiness as a result. Even when we say we have no idea what we want, we still want to be happy.

The best definition is probably: "An abundance of happiness."

It's as simple as that.
