Why on earth will anyone think of poverty and lack? Why on earth will people believe they cannot live in abundance but that they were born to be poor? You may be born poor but you can still rise from the ground and become wealthy. You can become filthy rich and wealthy when thoughts of plenty fill your mind.
Anything you want to accomplish or you will accomplish in this life starts from your thinking. The type of thinking you carry around will determine whether you will be rich or poor. You have to learn how to embrace plenty. Discipline yourself that you will think just plenty in a week or in a month.
If you want to be rich you must embrace plenty. Plenty can be many factors. From a man’s character, you can easily know whether his thoughts are empty or if his thoughts reflect plenty. Your actions show and tell people if you are someone who believes in plenty and if you are someone who has embraced plenty.
When you reject an untimely gift from a friend or from a colleague, it means you have not yet embraced plenty. You should never reject what someone gives you. Rejecting a gift is just like telling God “I don’t believe in plenty”. You will live the rest of your life empty and void of friends. Because when someone gives you something and you reject it next time he won’t give you even when he sees that you really need it.
Even if you don’t want or need something when someone gives you just collect it unless you are fully convinced the person is an enemy that may hurt you or your children.
People reject gifts for many reasons. Firstly they may not be interested in what they are being offered so they turn it down. If you are not interested in something before refusing think and try to see if someone around you or your family may be interested in it. Then collect and give to the person.
Secondly, some people refuse gifts because what they are giving them may be small compared to what they needed. Don’t refuse a gift because it’s small. Always learn to appreciate the little things, only then will you open doors for bigger things. Refusing smaller things or gifts is the fastest way to shut down any other good thing coming into your life.
Thirdly people refuse gifts because they are afraid of being hurt or that gift may be poisoned. So they are suspicious of anyone that offers them something. It may be at times due to negative experiences from the past. So they become skeptical. Just know who you can trust and make sure you get the best of the friendship. In other terms take from those you trust.
One of the ways to show or know that you have embraced plenty is always to appreciate what others have. Don’t allow envy and jealousy to fill your mind to the point that you will start hating, backbiting, or fighting others. Learn to be grateful for the life of other people. Their lives should be a motivating factor for you and not a discouraging factor or a way to open envy in your life
