It’s hard to get all your ducks in a row when there are just so many ducks. Abundance is great, but sometimes it would be a lot simpler if there were fewer choices, fewer options, fewer demands.
What helps you to simplify when the sheer number of ducks gets overwhelming?
Sometimes our greatest sense of abundance comes from the privilege of being able to share with someone we love.
When has sharing brought you joy?
[Those] who cannot rest, cannot work; [those] who cannot let go, cannot hold on; [those] who cannot find footing, cannot go forward.
—Harry Emerson Fosdick
What helps you find your footing so that you can move forward?
“The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much. It is whether we provide enough for those who have little.”
–Franklin D. Roosevelt
What does economic progress look like to you?
Somewhere on the other side of abundance lives gluttony, a state in which we grab all that we can in a frenzy of desire, out of touch with what we really need, with what would truly make us feel satisfied.
What helps you to get in touch with your genuine needs in the moments when gluttony threatens to overtake you?
