Welcome back for Part 3 of our four-part series on abundance! Join me here every Sunday morning for 4 parts as we explore how spirituality and abundance coexist to transform our journey through life and help you discover a life of abundance.

Today, we're talking about something that can really get in the way of feeling happy and abundant: our ego.

Ever wonder why it's hard to feel satisfied or why abundance seems just out of reach? Well, it might have a lot to do with your ego.

Our ego likes to be in charge. It tries to convince us we're separate from the universe and everything good and abundant in life. But we're actually designed to receive abundantly, just like nature around us.

Think about the vast ocean. Can you imagine one wave thinking it's separate from another? It sounds silly, right? That's because, in the grand scheme of things, everything is connected. This connection, this oneness, is where true abundance lies.

Our job isn't to grab or fight for what we think we deserve; it's to open up and receive. The ego resists this because it's scared of losing control. It fears that accepting help or abundance means we're not doing it all on our own.

But guess what? Being part of this beautiful, interconnected world means we're never truly doing anything alone. Remember the redwood trees from last week? They don't worry about taking too much or being undeserving. They simply exist within their ecosystem, receiving what they need, contributing to the collective well-being, and by doing so, they thrive.

So, how do we overcome this ego-driven fear of receiving?

The first step is recognizing we're part of something much larger than ourselves. Every time we say "thank you" and accept abundance into our lives, we affirm our place in this interconnected web of existence.

When we manage to take a step back from our ego, we begin to understand that being happy and having plenty doesn't have to be so hard.

By learning to receive with grace and gratitude, you're not taking from anyone; you're allowing the universe to express its abundance through you.Set down your ego, embrace your interconnectedness, and welcome the abundance meant for you.

Stay tuned for the final part of our series, where we'll dive into becoming a conductor of abundance, allowing the universe's generosity to flow through us. Join us as we continue this transformative journey. Click here to read Part 2: Overcoming a Scarcity Mindset.

Wishing you abundance, joy, and ease,
