Abundance is an embodiment, not just a buzzword. Here are 18 qualities that all genuinely abundant people I know have in common.

They hold curiosity instead of judgment towards themselves and others. They are willing to be a beginner. They plug into the true source of all abundance — God. They practice unshaming their desires, and perceived lack inside, and allow themselves to want what they want. They desire good and abundance for ALL. They are generous with their love and resources.

They respect themselves, their soul, their values (unquantifiable), their desires, boundaries and bodies. They dream a bigger dream for ALL. They lift other people up. They pray. They believe in God and plug into God, and live from the place of "I am that I am" inside of them.

They have a sense of humor. The ability to be human. To feel angry, to grieve, to be with challenges without identifying with them. They know and are intimate with darkness. They don't believe they need to be perfect to receive. They allow themselves to feel what they feel while they feel it, so they can have what they have while they have it.

They appreciate, love and SAVOR life. They know that gratitude is magnetic but SO IS authenticity. They don't bypass their real human experience, rather they allow it to be Medicine. To expand them. They don't shame themselves for being human. For having symptoms, feelings, or challenges. When receiving finds them, they choose to ALLOW IT IN. They CHOOSE to BE abundance.

They allow themselves to be misunderstood — and they never waste a good trigger. They believe and invest their intention in the possibilities in the universe. They understand that abundance is an inside job. They take joyful response-ability for co-creating their lives with God. They are here to Live, while they are Alive. They create art out of life. They allow themselves to get into the arena, and play.
