Sufficient Leading To Abundance

I had learnt about the concept of "Sufficiency" from the book "Soul of Money" by Lynette Twist about a month ago.

Practising sufficiency in my daily routine have been a great experience so far. Some of the area that I practise sufficiency is like when I wake up, I tell myself "I have sufficient sleep" gives my day sufficient energy, even though I wake up early.

I also practise sufficiency in my meals, especially taking dishes from mixed rice stall. I only take amount sufficient for my consumption for lunch, dinner and tea break. This helps me alot in weight control for I do not over eat.

In short, with practising sufficiency helps me to feel contented, blessed and grateful with almost everything I have, yes, including money! Try it for yourself! Just tell yourself, "I have sufficient money for my lunch today!" (with the feeling of contentment and with no worries about how little or how much money you have in the wallet - that's the detail)

Yesterday, I have a distinction! I was taking MRT and transferring to bus to my office (has been trying out new routes to see which is the most efficient way, or shortest time to the office). When I was alighting from MRT, I saw the bus that I wanted to board left...how frustrating especially when I only have 10mins to reach my office to clock in and I estimate the bus travel time is 10 mins and walking from bus stop to office takes about 3mins to 5mins (that's the usual first reaction, but hold on and read on).

So I told myself (in my head or else the crowd in the bus stop will be thinking, "What's up with this crazy guy?") "I will have sufficient time to reach my office in time". Now, this affirmation has been usual for me in my practice of sufficiency and has not failed me so far.

Then this thought came to my mind. I have been sufficient so far, why not think abundance? So I re-phrase my affirmation, "I will have sufficient time to reach office 5mins earlier".

The outcome...I was late for 2mins when I was in the elevator! Yet, I wasn't frustrated nor impatient as sufficiency affrimations have been working well for me and I have faith in it.

When I was at the office door, I saw 2 other colleagues waiting outside the door and they told me the door was still locked because the person with the key wasn't here yet. By the time the door was open, I reckoned I was about 3mins early! (I did not check my watch although my "C" is high). I gave a silent thank you for the affirmation that works!

I was a little late but the keyman is later than me! So relatively, I am early...Savvy? (Must have picked it up from Captain Jack Sparrow, kekeke)

Test out sufficiency and abundance mentality for yourself! I challenge you to do it for 1 month and see the miracles of it!
Note: At the beginning, you may encounter distractions but push on! Maybe our sub-concious is testing our conviction to the new thing. All the best!
