Inspiration, Abundance & Your Birthright...
Teresa Romain

Abundance is your birthright!

To inspire is to inhale - to breathe. As essential as breathing is for life, so is inspiration for your Journey of Abundance.

To inspire also means to "affect, guide, or arouse by divine influence." It means to "fill with enlivening or exalting emotion." Yet another definition tells us that to inspire is "to draw forth; elicit or arouse."

Most importantly, to inspire is "to breathe life into."There is a story in the bible saying how "God formed man out of the clay of the ground and then breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and thus man became a living being." This century-old story describes a God or Higher Power that inspires us with life. (How's that for abundance?)

These definitions become all the more inspiring (no pun intended!) when you consider that the word "inspire" is derived from the word "spirit". Thus, we could say that to be "inspired" is to be affected, guided or aroused by your divine, abundant spirit.

Another tale of creation tells that "God created male and female in his own image and likeness." No matter what name you give to the this Higher Power that created this Universe, you'll probably agree that the image is one of indescribable abundance and life - not scarcity and limitation and death. It is in this image of abundance that you were created - that your spirit was inspired with life itself. You were created "in the image and likeness" of abundance.

Thus, your spirit is abundant and abundance is your birthright.

This truth becomes even more empowering (and inspiring!) when you consider that the word "birthright" is defined as:

    1: a right or privilege that you are entitled to at birth;
    2: an inheritance coming by right of birth; AND
    3: personal characteristics that are inherited at birth

So - what does all of this mean for you and your life?

It means that you do NOT have to do anything to earn or deserve abundance. You do NOT have to prove anything. You also do NOT have to limit yourself, struggle or settle for anything less than abundance in your life. Abundance is a right, privilege and inheritance entitled to you at birth - and it is also a personal characteristic that you inherited at birth.

Having read this, you may now be wondering, "If this is true, why isn't my life as abundant as I want it to be?"

That's a GREAT question!

In fact, it's one that the famous racehorse, Sea Biscuit, might have asked himself nearly 70 years ago - that is, of course, if a horse could read and ask questions!

In truth, the challenge of the Journey of Abundance is to live life aroused by and filled with your spirit of abundance. This "spirit" is your authentic and most powerful self. This "spirit" is what inspires you to continually access and experience greater levels of abundance, freedom, peace and fulfilment - with greater ease - in all areas of your life.

Granted, you may not know what that's like or how to do it. You may have difficulty believing the words you're reading. You may not recognise or see the abundance that is around you and within you. You may be skeptically or doubtful. You may think it sounds "too easy" or too "airy fairy" or "new age". You may even think that it may be true for others - but it doesn't apply to you.

If you are thinking or feeling any of those thoughts - that's okay! In fact, it's not even surprising!

Lots of people might have said the same thing to horse trainer, Tom Smith, about a little horse named Sea Biscuit back in the 1930s - a horse recently re-popularised by the best-selling book and movie.

Much like you, Sea Biscuit was born with great racing potential - only it wasn't recognised by his first owner and trainer. As a result, Sea Biscuit was eventually used as a training horse for other "champion horses". In this role, Sea Biscuit was forced to let the "champion horse" catch up with and run even with him, at which point Sea Biscuit was "reined in" even more - thereby allowing the other horse to pass him and win! In this way, the other horse's confidence grew. In this same way, Sea Biscuit was actually conditioned to lose! And lose is exactly what he did - again and again!

Despite that, horse trainer Tom Smith saw something inside of Sea Biscuit that he recognised as powerful - despite his track record and despite his outward appearance and actions. As he described it, he recognised Sea Biscuit's amazing spirit. Based on that, Smith persuaded Charles Howard to purchase Sea Biscuit and Tom Smith became his trainer.

Tom Smith saw the potential within Sea Biscuit - he knew that as a trainer he simply needed to inspire the horse again. In the movie, Tom Smith describes his "training" of Sea Biscuit in one simple yet powerful sentence when he says, "It seems to me he has to 'unlearn' a lot of what he has learned thus far so he can remember how to be a horse again."

The same is probably true for you. More than you realise, the process of accessing greater levels of abundance in your life is usually one of "unlearning" the limiting beliefs and scarcity patterns you've learned thus far. By "unlearning" in this way, you can learn and remember how to be abundant again.
