Wherever you are in the world, it is during times of uncertainty, negativity, and fear that our faith and best selves can become stronger and our ability to manifest abundance in all forms can flourish.
With the tension and fear-based messages we read and hear about daily, I thought a good dose of empowered positivity would be a welcome topic for today and remind us again that we are more powerfull than we think! Things are not always what they appear….
Keep the faith….one minute, one day at a time
1. Everything you need you already have. You are complete right now, you are a whole, total person, not an apprentice person on the way to someplace else. Your completeness must be understood by you and experienced in your thoughts as your own personal reality. ~ Wayne Dyer
2. It is not only my right and my privilege to walk in the abundance God has for me, it is my responsibility…just as it is my responsibility to live the rest of my truth. ~ Jan Denise
3. Whatever we are waiting for - peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance - it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart. ~ Sarah Ban Breathnach
4. Expect your every need to be met. Expect the answer to every problem, expect abundance on every level. ~ Eileen Caddy
5. Abundance doesn’t follow giving until giving becomes its own reward. ~ Jan Denise
6. Riches are not from abundance of worldly goods, but from a contented mind. ~ Mohammed
7. When you are grateful fear disappears and abundance appears. ~ Anthony Robbins
8. Your most precious, valued possessions and your greatest powers are invisible and intangible. No one can take them. You, and you alone, can give them. You will receive abundance for your giving. ~ W. Clement Stone
9. People with a scarcity mentality tend to see everything in terms of win-lose. There is only so much; and if someone else has it, that means there will be less for me. The more principle-centered we become, the more we develop an abundance mentality, the more we are genuinely happy for the successes, well-being, achievements, recognition, and good fortune of other people. We believe their success adds to…rather than detracts from…our lives. ~ Stephen R. Covey
10. Life is a field of unlimited possibilities. ~ Deepak Chopra
11. Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into. ~ Wayne Dyer
12. You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might also pray in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance. ~ Kahlil Gibran
13. When you focus on being a blessing, God makes sure that you are always blessed in abundance. ~ Joel Osteen
14. The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper. ~ Eden Phillpotts
15. Pursuing your passion is fulfilling and leads to financial freedom. ~ Robert G Allen
16. If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can’t, you’re right.
~ Mary Kay Ash
17. We must have an expansionary vision, one that captures the imagination and diversity of the whole community, one which benefits a nation which has moved beyond the basics of literacy and numeracy and which wants to develop a learning culture. ~ Bob Brown
18. You are the most powerful magnet in the universe! You contain a magnetic power within you that is more powerful than anything in this world, and this unfathomable magnetic power is emitted through your thoughts. ~ Rhonda Byrne
19. People who have drawn wealth into their lives used The Secret, whether consciously or unconsciously. They think thoughts of abundance and wealth, and they do allow any contradictory thoughts to take root in their minds. ~ Rhonda Byrne
20. Even when you think you have your life all mapped out, things happen that shape your destiny in ways you might never have imagined. ~ Deepak Chopra
21. Decide what you want .. believe you can have it, believe you deserve it, believe it’s possible for you.
~ Jack Canfield
22. The mind is easily distracted; it loses its focus and becomes restless. If it is not directed positively, its power will be diffused. ~ Chin-Ning Chu
23. If you don’t like something change it; if you can’t change it, change the way you think about it.
~ Mary Engelbreit
24. People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be. ~ Abraham Lincoln
25. The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it. ~ C.C. Scott
26. Misery is a communicable disease. ~ Martha Graham
27. A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes. ~ Hugh Downs
28. Become a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see possibilities - always see them, for they’re always there. ~ Norman Vincent Peale

Thanks for posting these quotes, Lorraine! Each one holds a special meaning.
My favorite is Mary Englebreit’s quote. So many of us feel “stuck” when something can’t be changed and it’s out of our control. Changing the way we “think” about it is the answer!

Hi Lorraine. You know, I appreciate a good post sometimes where I don’t have to think about answers and just feel. This is a super list of quotes that I will save.
My favourite? Number 20 from Deepak Chopra. “Even when you think you have your life all mapped out, things happen that shape your destiny in ways you might never have imagined.”
Here is one from my collection by Wayne Dyer: “Everything you are against weakens you. Everything you are for empowers you.”

I like a bunch of them! #1, #7, #9 & #28 are standouts for me.

Quotes aren’t always accurately credited. It was Jack Canfield and I just corrected it!

Enjoyed the quotes here! Thanks!

- I really like the list Evelyn - it felt like a timely reminder.
I find that continuing to tap into gratitude really helps me to stay open to see life through the “eyes of love.”
- Thanks for adding your voice Ellesse. I forget about quotes sometimes. What I especially love is how they capture the essence of a message so quickly that invites an instantaneous shift of attitude or emotion.
