“If you keep your pockets full of coins, you will always have small change.”
-Yoruba Proverb
How do the words above resonate with you?
Pause here for a moment and free yourself from distractions:
Take a deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... calm your mind and be present...
There are many ways in can revive the quote above. I read it a few times and admittedly was not sure how to take it.
What do you believe the proverb above is saying? Sit with it a moment and come up with an answer...
Iyanla Vanzant quoted this proverb in discussing these universal laws:
The law of abundance: law of abundance refers to the unlimited sources of the universe. It says that everything we could ever need or want is already waiting and available to us.
If you expect to get something for nothing or if you feel good when you get something without paying for it you are violating the law of abundance.
The law of vibration: Each particle in this Universe is made of energy and is moving constantly. Whenever you perceive someone else’s emotions or whenever you become conscious of your own feelings, what you actually feel is the vibration energy. This is called the Law of Vibration.
Are you a bargain hunter? If so, you are violating the law of vibration. Cheap thoughts bring cheap returns. When you place yourself in low vibration, you draw things that vibrate on a low level.
The law of correspondence: This law states that patterns repeat throughout the universe, and on a personal level, our reality is a mirror of what's happening inside us at that moment. Think "As above, so below. As within, so without."
Do you begrudgingly spend money? Do you hate to pay bills? If so you are violating the law of correspondence. What you withhold from the universe will be withheld from you.
That is something to think about for sure... To help you live a more abundant life, check out these tools below:
