Sometimes you just need to create a clearing in your heart and sometimes in your circumstances or possessions. It could be that there is just too much work, too much stuff, too many people, too much noise, etc. How could abundance come when your time is all taken up, your arms are full, and your mind is too dense with mental clutter? Turn the TV off; put down the phone; fast from all of that snacking and eating; sit quietly; purge and give away possessions; let go, and open up. You don’t need to schedule every minute of your day. You don’t need to say yes to all of those invitations. You cannot always be working. You cannot always be doing.
We have too much food, and we’re fat. We have too many gadgets, and we’re consumed in mindless scrolling. We have too many possessions, and we can’t even keep up with them. We have too many tasks, and we’re worn out. We have too much noise, and we’re deaf. What about taking something away or cutting back? What about doing nothing?
I think the universe wants to give, but we’re too full to receive anything. If you let go of some things, open your hands, create some space in your life, then maybe a fun and wonderful opportunity will come your way. Cut back, reduce, purge, and get rid of things. If you’re looking for a mate, make space for him, don’t fill your time “looking.” If you’re desiring a particular form of work, stop obsessing, and something will come to you. Sometimes we have to be like a small child, and just be innocently receptive. Open your arms and wait. Clear your mind and your heart. Make some space to receive. Something good will come, but don’t be too full to receive it.
