While I am someone who will always preach about the abundance of the Universe and how to attract abundance, I also want to teach a very simple and valuable lesson: Learn to be happy with less. That is not to say that you should deprive yourself of what life has to offer or to scale down your life goals. By all means, I think everyone should be striving for the best in life and not set any limitations. However, what I am saying is to actually take the time to enjoy the littlest of things and practice more gratitude for what you have achieved so far and what you currently have in life.

So often, you will see people compare themselves to others and be like, “Oh I am so jealous of that person for having that house” or “Why can’t I have a nicer car?” There is nothing wrong with feeling that way. There are ways to project this feeling into a more POSITIVE and happier mindset without feeling like you lack something. It is crucial to actually be thankful for what you currently possess at the present moment as opposed to complaining that you don’t have what you want right now. You will have plenty of time to also receive the same things from the Universe if you focus on these things consistently and your gratitude will actually attract more things into your life. It is also important to be HAPPY for others and their achievements. By seeing that others have certain things–instead of feeling jealous, it should be a reminder to self that if someone else is capable of having something then guess what–so are you and it is just a matter of time.

I think when you learn to be happy about the little things and without needing to have so much in order to create personal fulfillment, you bring an overall sense of joy into your life. Oftentimes, less is actually MORE and this is a good mindset to implement. This adds more meaning to the smaller things and then when bigger things are attracted into your life, you have an extra sense of gratitude because you weren’t necessarily expecting it or depending on these things.
