The world is moving towards Abundance not knowing the real meaning of it. Abundance just like any other feelings like contentment and compassion is a quality and state of mind. But I want everybody to pause and think for a minute, is the world really moving towards Abundance or Excessiveness?
We earn more amount in currency now than 30-40 years ago, we eat more quantity than a few years ago, we weigh more than the generation before, we watch more movies than a few decades back, we are much busier than many years ago, we are more stressed than our last generation, we are more prone to lifestyle related diseases than our ancestors, we die early than our forefathers. Are these any indication of Abundance? Not at all. These are all the result of Excessiveness.
We accumulate more than what we need, we eat more than what we need, we work to satisfy our greed more than our need, we entertain ourselves much more than what our senses can take, we want to compete more with others than with ourselves. Excessiveness is killing us real fast.
Real Abundance is when we smile more, serve more, dance more, sing more, feel more compassionate, feel more gratitude, feel more devoted, feel more healthy, bless more, give more, share more, take care of people around us more and more. That is real Abundance. A person living with zero bank balance and still possessing all the above qualities is definitely more abundant than the people who are driven by Excessiveness! If we don't wake up soon and learn the Art of Living with Abundant state of mind, very soon the wave of Excessiveness will take over all of us!

Ramu, Excess of anything and everything for quite a few persons is making them useless. We are living in a world, where on the one hand even a meal a day is a luxury to most, while on the other hand, people are losing sleep as well as peace over excess of all that could be as easily given away voluntarily given away. This action gives the giver so much blessings and the happiness his entire wealth cannot ensure.
