Shortage is a *learned behavior*, whether it be intelligence, money or even food, they can be convinced there is not enough for everyone to go around, and they were just born into hardship. Why do some overcome their childhood and against all odds, achieve great success in life? Whether it is spiritual, financial or relationships, [there was a choice to move forward](https://lauralaire.com/turn-your-wounds-into-wisdom/), in spite of their past, with an unwavering belief in their ability to do so. In fact, many who were born with nothing, are the ones who have the greatest stories of overcoming. ![abundance-is-a-mindset](https://lauralaire.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/choosing-abundance-blog-images.png?width=443&height=443&name=choosing-abundance-blog-images.png) I want to instill this **unlimited potential**, that I believe every person has, into anyone who crosses my path. *There is no such thing as a lack of love, just an abundance of fear.* *There is no such thing as a lack of resources, only a lack of resourcefulness.There is no such thing as a lack of time, only a choice of priority.* **Talking about our problems is the greatest addiction we have.** Your destiny is determined by *you and only you. * You CAN overcome the negative influence of others. Whether you are talking about it, observing someone else’s experience, watching something on TV, researching on the internet or thinking about past, present or future, [you are attracting](https://lauralaire.com/attract-a-life-you-love/). ## Every time you give energy to anything, you are choosing what you want to include in your experience. In a universe of inclusion, you are only pulling towards you with your attention. You cannot shout no at something to push it away. In fact, the more energy and emotion you add, the faster you are including, whatever you don’t want. Take the path of least resistance by looking for what you do have, that you are grateful for, then what you feel will expand.![abundance-eckhart-tolle](https://lauralaire.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/choosing-abundance-blog-images-1.png?width=425&height=425&name=choosing-abundance-blog-images-1.png) ## More gratitude=more to be grateful for. Abundance in gratitude=abundance in life. You will get a matching experience to how you feel. Watch funny movies, have more fun, find joy in the little things. Joy, happiness and gratitude open the floodgates to unleash an infinite and unlimited flow of a*bundance.* ## Gratitude can serve as the catalyst for profound, seemingly magical and what’s often referred to as miraculous transformation in your life.   I am grateful for you, for the time to write this and the for the hope that you will choose abundance by tuning into it – with a grateful heart. With great love for you.
