You might feel that your resources are limited, and as such could be judging yourself harshly today. Perhaps these feelings of inadequacy are the result of your comparing yourself with others and feeling that you do not measure up to a certain standard. If you can remind yourself that imperfection is part of life and that you are perfect just as you are, you might feel better about things. Should thoughts of scarcity or hopelessness arise today you can simply repeat to yourself "My life is fine. I have enough." A simple affirmation such as this could help you not only to realize that your life is right on target, but it might also make it easier to feel better about yourself and see just how blessed and full your life is.

Recognizing what we have is important toward understanding that we are complete and whole beings as we are in the present. When we see others and what they have, it is only natural that we want the same thing. This comparison, however, will only bring us unhappiness, for by searching for satisfaction outside of ourselves we will never truly be happy. Reminding ourselves of our abundance drives home the fact that we don't need much because we are so much more than our resources -- we are also spiritual beings, and this makes us boundless. Understanding how much you have today will let you realize that your true worth lies within you.
