There was a time in my life where I thought that there was much to do for me to experience Love and Abundance. I felt like I needed to work hard to be my best and do good. This was when it would pay off and I would have love and abundance in my life. I had to achieve a certain level of mastery and if I was diligent and worked hard, then it would be mine. I am very determined in general and there was always more to do. Then I began to notice how frustrating and exhausting it was to always be striving for something…that I always needed to do more and ultimately that I was lacking or missing something. It felt very confining and restrictive. My freedom was very limited and freedom is one of the things I value most in life. This lack of freedom had me feel even more unfulfilled and place more judgement on myself.
This is what life is like when I come from my head and try to figure out my next actions. What I came to realize is that as I drop into my heart and become more present in the moment, I can feel what is there. As I learn to discern what are my feelings and where they are coming from, I have freedom to choose my experience. I have access to love and abundance always... if I choose. There is nothing I have to do….there is just being.
This painting is an expression of love and abundance. It is expansive and never ending. It is freedom. The painting serves as a reminder that Love and Abundance are always there for each one of us. The more present we are in life, the more access we have to it. How much love and abundance are you willing to experience in your life today?
