Journal Prompt #6

Are you functioning from a place of abundance or scarcity?

This has been a reoccurring topic that's come up around me lately. And it's one that super important to get clear on. 
First of all, what does that question even mean?
Let's look at an example:
When your friend tells you they're engaged when you're newly heartbroken and single, how do you react? I'm not talking about just the outward reaction. I'm talking about the TRUE sensation that fills you on a cellular level. 
Are you happy for your friend?
Or, do you feel a twinge of loss, jealousy, or amplified heartbreak?
I'm not here to say that you're a a bad person if you answer the latter. I think we're all guilts of doing so at times!
However, when we continue to respond from that place of LACKING- as if someone else's good fortune means there's not enough for us to also receive the same- then we won't be open to receiving ALL that's waiting for us. 
Energetically, if you're emitting a frequency of scarcity- that's coming from a place of fear. Fear that there's not enough for everyone to have what they need to define their sense of success or fulfillment.
Fear is a low vibration. Meaning, in turn, you'll receive opportunities that are of that same low vibrational quality. 
However, on the flip side- if you're able to see another person thriving (even, and perhaps ESPECIALLY, when it's in an area that you're also working on)- and your reaction isn't just happiness, but actually feeling INSPIRED by them- then you'll emit a higher frequency of abundance, which is a form of love. 
In turn, you'll draw in those same high frequency opportunities. 
Law of attraction. 
​Time to turn that ish up.
