"The Dalai Lama says the global economic crisis will teach people that
peace of mind, family and friends can bring happiness when money is lacking,"
the Associated Press reports.
This reminded me of paths to abundance that have nothing to do with money
offered by contemporary and historic voices in Change Your Life Through Travel.
Here is an excerpt I hope you will enjoy during our challenging times:
"Wouldn't you love to feel a spirit of abundance daily? We often think
that abundance means financial wealth. Certainly that is an aspect of abundance,
but our riches are more bountiful than that. At the end of his travel book about
Greece, The Colossus of Maroussi, Henry Miller said, "I refuse categorically to
become anything less than the citizen of the world which I silently declared
myself to be when I stood in Agamemnon's tomb. From that day forth my life was
dedicated to the recovery of the divinity of man. Peace to all men, I say, and
life more abundant!"
I believe that Miller tapped some of his spirit of abundance through
paying attention; seeking "the divinity of man," always expecting "everything of
the world," and being ready to "give everything." And from following his own
advice to "Develop interest in life as you see it," Miller said, "in people,
things, literature, music -- the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich
treasures, beautiful souls, and interesting people. Forget yourself."
How can you find abundance in everyday life, beginning today?
