25+ Abundance Affirmations to Keep You Grounded in Your Own Greatness

“Abundance” is one of those pseudo-literary words everyone knows but few people actually use day-to-day. Merriam-Webster defines it as, “an ample quantity” or, “affluence, wealth.”

It might be easy to think of abundance as the pursuit of more: more money, more material goods, more friendships, and so on.

But if you’ve ever spent any time pursuing more of something, you’ve probably felt yourself moving farther away from who you are and what you want in life.

What does abundance mean in the context of personal growth?

Abundance is a really old concept in the context of personal growth. So old, in fact, that it’s earliest mention can be found in the Bible:

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

John 10:10

I’m not a religious person, but in a sense, the Bible is one of the world’s first self-help books.¹ This verse, written from Jesus’ perspective, explains that his purpose is to provide a more abundant life for all people.

If you know anything about Jesus, you know he’s not the kind of guy to covet material possessions.² Then what was he talking about?

The concept of abundance revolves around the appreciation for the abundance that already exists in your life. In other words, gratitude.

Especially in modern society, there will always be more. Widespread consumerism has given rise to the notion that no one can ever truly be happy with what they already have. And in that sense, we can never be truly happy.

Buddha was perhaps the first to flip the script on this when he said:

Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot at least, we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful.

Buddha

To have an abundance mindset is to live life with a deep appreciation for the abundance you already have. Thinking this way allows you to let go of the endless desire for the next shiny object or the next big promotion. Because once you get these things, you learn of something else you need.

If you never break this cycle, you’ll never find true happiness or fulfillment in life.

Footnotes

1. In the earliest days of civilization, religions gave people a shared framework for self-improvement. For better or worse, it was the first human institution to outline the specific behaviors that make someone good or bad. Similarly, you can think of modern personal development as espousing the same thing. The only exception is that now, we understand that “good” (or “happy” or “fulfilled”) looks different for each one of us, so we need less prescriptive frameworks that can help us find our own unique paths in life. ↩
