Many of us think of abundance as having lots of money. In fact, I had also previously used financial income as the sole indicator of success. It is hard not to be in the same rat race as everyone else.
In Singapore, where I come from, the average person probably defines abundance in terms of having the “5 Cs”: Cash, Car, Condominium, Credit Card and Country club membership. The “5 Cs” arose as a popular joke based on certain truths attesting to the unstated Singaporean cultural ethos of materialistic obsession and aspiration. The “5 Cs” are so desired, because they are symbolisms denoting a higher social and economic status and used to impress others.
Cars, Condominiums and Country Club Memberships are expensive in land-scarce Singapore. So much so that most young adults would prefer to either give up or delay having the 6th “C” - child or children.
However, if you have been reading my blog and would know by now, having money alone does not equal to having abundance. Many wealthy people are cash-rich but poor in happiness and security.
If you look at the dictionary, abundance simply means an overflowing fullness; ample sufficiency; great plenty; profusion; copious supply; superfluity; wealth. It is also referred to as a lack of scarcity, and therefore, want.
Hence, going by this definition, abundance can also encompass better relationships, financial success, superior health or just about anything you desire to have in plentiful supply. Abundance is a state of overflowing with more than what is needed. It is also the state of achieving our ultimate personal desires.
With this in mind, I had recently decided to ditch the “C†that I used to dream of having – a $1,200 Chanel clutch bag. To me, abundance is no longer so much a matter of the gaining the said Cs. It is also gaining in health, fulfillment, happiness and love.
I have spent time writing a 7-part email course on attracting abundance into our lives. Many of us are in pursuit of abundance. Yet at the same time, the goal of abundance appears elusive, despite how much hard work we have put in.

Hello/ to me, abundance is an attitude. If you believe that abundance is yours, you will attract an atmosphere in which you will be delighted to have whatever you may have.With this attitude, you will never have a desire for abundance because your belief that it is already a fact of life assures it. So desire is only present when there is the perception of lack.
That should be abundantly clear to anyone, but
you have to overcome desire by appropriating faith. Faith is the key to abundance.–Doug
