Ground Before You Grow: The True Foundation of Abundance

Ground Before You Grow: The True Foundation of Abundance

The Foundation of Abundance

True abundance needs a steady foundation. Stability provides the roots from which everything else can flourish. We can be abundant in love, finances, and even joy. Stability is that foundation from which we can build.

The Sacred Glow Boutique blog is mostly about financial abundance. When it comes to abundance in finances, I think that anyone can get started if they have the ability to put in the work. When our lives are grounded in practicing consistent, good habits like gratitude and mindfulness, we create a strong foundation for financial abundance, and any type of abundance.

Financial Stability

Achieving financial stability is possible for those who work towards it. For me, achieving any type of stability was not easy for many years. After graduating law school and passing the Florida Bar exam, I was certain that I did not want to be an attorney anymore. But I held on for a few months until I finally quit and retired from the legal profession. I was in my mid-20s and not sure where I was going in life. Five years later, I have a thriving and successful career in the tech industry, where I feel like I truly belong.

Financial stability often begins with a few essentials: a steady, reliable source of income, careful management of resources, discipline, and a lot of patience. By showing up consistently, budgeting wisely, and making small, intentional choices, anyone can create a stable financial base to build the life they envision.

The Power of Compounding

Just like small amounts of money can grow into an empire, so can small, consistent actions.

• Gratitude: Always take at least one moment a day to be grateful for everything you have. Gratitude for all the good things in your life invites more good things into your life.

• Meditation: A healthy portfolio starts with a healthy mind. Take a few minutes daily to close your eyes and focus on your breathing. Don't try to avoid any thoughts; simply let them pass and shift your focus back to your breathing. Do this often to maximize the benefits.

• Affirmations: Think, "I am worthy of financial abundance." Or something like, "I am building wealth, one day at a time."

• Opportunities: Keep your mind open to all the amazing opportunities there are out there. If there are none, create one. You are unique, you are powerful, and you can do anything.

• Saving: Start by setting aside some money from each paycheck as a cushion to fall back on in case of an emergency. Then, keep adding to your savings account every month, and save up for wonderful things like trips, a house, a car, or whatever you want. Open a high-yield savings account (HYSA) and watch your savings grow. More on this to come.

• Investing: Wise investments can be a great source of wealth. It is a tool to grow your money and sustain long-term prosperity. More on this later.

Before abundance can appear in its fullest form, it needs a steady home. Build your foundation with patience, intention, and daily effort, and you’ll discover that the life you desire isn’t just possible, but inevitable.
