In nature, we frequently see the law of abundance being demonstrated. All that is needed to prosper is there when and where needed. For example: a wild rose plant shows that the law of abundance is evident in nature. The rose grows and lives for only 5 or 6 months out of the year and remains dormant the rest of the year in during the cold months. During the spring and summer months the rose takes advantage of the sun's warmth and soft rains and blooms everyday.

And nature takes it course and the plant produces hundreds, if not thousands of blossoms. These blossoms supply nectar for bees and provide seeds for birds, squirrels and other small animals to eat. This eventually leads to thousands of new rose plants scattered across the fields. The rose doesn't waste energy trying to grow through the snow and ice of winter but uses that time to rest and regenerate.

This very law of what is needed when it is needed is something that all animals experiences as well. A rabbit is introduced to the world in early spring in a snug and warm burrow with its brothers and sisters. Its mother nurtures it until it is strong enough to venture outside the den to the splendor of bright, juicy green grass, ripening berries and glorious sunlight. All that the rabbit needs to thrive is right there in abundance.

But the animal known as human, is often blinded by what it doesn't have, rather than seeing what it does. The law of abundance is lost behind a veil of want-to-have. Humans cannot accept that what is needed will be available. Humans have a tendency to worry and concern themselves with what they don't have.... always looking at the wrong things.

Nature exists in the present. The past no longer exists and the future isn't here yet. That baby rabbit is not worried about winter and that she, or he, may have to forage longer and harder. The rabbit eats to its hearts content succulent spring ferns and summer flowers storing up fat and a thick furry coat that will naturally get it through the winter. A glass is not half full in nature, it is overflowing.

Our nature as humans is to be too caught up on preparing for the future and not see the abundance that we have all around us. If we focus on the lack of something, that is exactly what we will receive. We may think our glass is half empty, but actually, it's completely empty and will remain so until we start focus on attracting the fullness of life. If we want something we have to ask for it and then fully embrace it.
