Monica Erosa This morning when pouring my smoothie from the blender into my glass there was not enough room in the glass. I drank a little and then filled the glass to the brim with what was left in the blender. As I sat down to enjoy my delicious blend and again noticed how it flirted with the edge of the glass, I began to question my perception of the universe and my life. Do I look at life as if it is partially empty, partially full or overflowing to the point of not being able to ask for a single thing more in this very moment?
I’ve had a bad habit throughout my life of perceiving lack, always feeling like something was missing even though I couldn’t put my finger on exactly what that something was. Through this simple observation of my overflowing smoothie I had a visual of how full and fulfilling my life truly is. With this realization I also instantaneously understood why so many teachings encourage a daily gratitude practice. When we truly appreciate the vast cornucopia of life, we attract more and more, creating a snowball effect of abundance.
