Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities.
It is always our conscious choice which garden we will tend … when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that’s present — love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure — the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience heaven on earth.

I think that even though everything is within us is very difficult to remember, somehow our ego always managed to interfere, and our fears always managed to make us doubt, is like a constant battle with ourselves.
