I just spent about double what I had expected to spend on bright fuchsia athletic shoes with orange and green trim. I smile every time I look at them.
One sign of living abundantly for me is the ability to enjoy splurges without any negative consequences. And some of those past splurges have provided many years of pleasure.
One, an intricate, hand knotted rug from Tibet graces my living room floor. I didn’t need it, I wasn’t shopping for it, but I saw it and loved it. I get excited about lots of things, so I try to give myself some breathing time before committing to temporary attractions.
I saw the rug while wandering around shops in a small town. I told the proprietor “Maybe” and continued to shop, ate lunch and just kept thinking about the rug. If I had gotten distracted by something else, I would not have gone back. Staying focused on the rug was my signal that this was true love rather than infatuation. Years later, I still marvel at its’ beauty.
What does living abundantly mean to you? It might mean being able to buy things. It might be more related to having meaningful experiences occasionally or regularly. It might be related to privacy, or travel or not having to do chores.
