True Abundance
How to Stop Chasing "More" and Start Living in "Enough"
For years, I thought abundance meant having more—more success, more money, more possessions, more validation. If I could just reach the next milestone, I’d finally feel like I had "made it."
But no matter how much I achieved, the goalposts kept moving. The hunger never really went away.
Then, through yoga and deep self-inquiry, I stumbled upon a radical idea: What if abundance isn’t about having more, but being more—right where you are?
The Myth of "More"
We’re conditioned to believe that fulfillment lies just beyond the next accomplishment. A bigger salary. A better relationship. A more impressive title. But this mindset keeps us in a perpetual state of lack—always chasing, never arriving.
The ancient yogic principle of santosha (contentment) offers a different path. It teaches that true abundance isn’t found in accumulation, but in recognition—the profound understanding that you are already enough.
What If You Stopped Waiting to Feel Whole?
Imagine waking up and, instead of immediately scanning for what’s missing, you paused and thought: I have enough. I am enough.
This isn’t complacency. It’s liberation.
Contentment isn’t about settling; it’s about shifting your focus from scarcity to sufficiency. When you operate from a place of "enough," your actions come from a place of wholeness, not hunger. You stop hustling for worthiness and start living from worthiness.
How to Practice Abundance as a State of Being
Start with Gratitude (But Go Deeper)
Instead of just listing what you’re thankful for, ask: Where do I already feel full?
Feel the truth of it in your body. Let it settle into your bones.
Notice the Stories of Lack
When you think, If only I had ___, then I’d be happy—pause.
Challenge it: Is this really true? Or am I believing an old myth?
Define "Enough" for Yourself
Society will always tell you to want more. Decide what enough means to you.
Maybe it’s less clutter, less comparison, less striving for external validation.
Give from Your Overflow
When you live from abundance, generosity becomes natural. Share your time, attention, or resources—not because you should, but because you can.
Practice "Enough" in Small Moments
Sip your coffee and think: This is enough.
Look at the sky and think: This is enough.
Feel your breath and think: I am enough.
The Paradox of Abundance
The wildest thing? The more you live like this, the more life gives you reasons to feel abundant. Not because you’ve acquired more, but because you’ve awakened to what was already there.
You begin to see: Abundance isn’t a destination. It’s the art of arriving—right here, right now—and realizing you were always home.
Where can you choose "enough" today?
