Perhaps abundance is not defined by resources, but through unrealized possibilities. Maybe there’s always a way to pull a benefit out of unpleasantness, defying odds, expectations, and ironclad beliefs.

Great timing for this and I agree. I had to tell myself today to keep trying, keep going, improve, practice and defy the odds.

I like how you phrased “unrealized possibilities. It is the essence of being human and defying the odds that may be stacked against you just to succeed when others told you you can’t.

Perhaps ‘abundance’ is simply there to be seen. Perhaps we could do that if we weren’t obsessed with the idea that we ‘lack’. People can see lack, even in paradise; moaning about the lack of all-inclusive benefits for the terminally lazy.
