Sacrifice is assumed to be the giving away of that which we need for our own survival. But have we considered that survival (in the richest sense of the word) is not based on what we keep, but on what we give away?

Abundance is not what you hold in your hand. Rather, it's what you have in your heart. And until we realize this, both will feel empty.

If I live life as some barter system, I will in fact never have given anything away except the opportunity to really live.

Abundant living is realizing that life is a privilege whether it’s adhering to our scripts or not.

To be blessed and yet permit gluttony to blind me to the blessings is to banish myself to a life of unrelenting poverty even though I might be utterly engulfed in the embrace of a million marvelous blessings.

Abundance is grasped by infusing our souls with the intoxicatingly liberating fact that life is a privilege, not a right.
