The wonderful thing about a blog is that it is ever-changing and ever-growing (as long as the writers don’t lose focus; or disappear into another dimension of course). In the past few years the blog community has grown at an exponential rate. Blog content can range anything from priceless information to a day in the life of a centipede. The amount of content out there is incredible. We as bloggers have formed a strong community where we can share, develop, and communicate with each other through a new and remarkable channel that has endless potential.
For many bloggers who do not have an abundance mindset the fact that there are so many blogs out there at this moment can be intimidating. I would like to say the opposite. Blogs, no matter if people like it or not are by themselves a community. There is a community of blogs and blog readers. People are presented with an endless and flexible means of information. The beauty is that blogs have the ability to grow and change with the times. As new Ideas spring up, and the creative processes of authors kick into overdrive we are presented with informative and interesting bits of writing. Readers have the option to chose which sources of information suit their needs best. They can read one blog, and then carry on right to the next to find different information, or possibly a different opinion about the same topic. The term “surfing the web” has not been created because users are stagnant and still. They surf, they move around. A persons interests change frequently if not daily.
A surfer catches many waves in a day. The surfer is not satisfied after the first chosen wave; always looking to push further, receive more from the flowing oceans. The surfer knows that there are more waves out there. Each pause only gives time for the next wave to gain momentum. 
This is how the blog community works. Readers will go from blog to blog, surfing around reading what others are putting out there. We are all here for ourselves and our readers. We connect to each other and all provide a portion of the information that people want and need. We survive as a community, and the more one grows the more all grow.
This goes for anything in life. There is an abundance of everything. If you assume that there is only a fixed amount of money in the world and there is not enough for you to have a lot, consider it as something in motion. People don’t just have money. They SPEND IT! It moves around, always changing hands, flowing, and perpetuating the economy. That is why we all can have our fair share. Whenever you feel that there is not enough of something just remember that everything is in motion, going through cycles. What is gone one day will be there the next. Stay positive! Keep motivated! Bring your dreams into reality by remembering that one simple point. Find the passion inside you and begin chasing your dreams. The resources are out there for you, waiting to be captured with your unique style and approach. There is enough out there for all of us to realize our dreams!

Brett: I like most of what you said in your blog about the abundance of all things. But I take issue with some of your ideas. What bothers me most is the mantra, “There is an abundance of everything” (or something like that).
First of all, the sentence is too “new wavy” (to coin a phrase). Pthh, sptt, plat. It doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue either.
Moreover, there is NOT an abundance of everything. There may indeed be abundances of some things, but not all things.
Where did this sentence come from? Why do you and Matt like it so much?
The other bone of contention I have with your beautifully written piece is the philosophy behind it. It’s the same old same old — think right and be happy. Think that nothing is difficult, nothing is tragic, no thing (space intentional) is beyond my figurative reach. All will be well! I promise! C’mon.
Life takes hard work. Sorry, I don’t like doing it either. Life is not easy. These things we all know are true.
Furthermore, its hard to be human in today’s unstable multi-culture; hard to lend a hand when you don’t understand how to help, the problem being too complex (like many problems today). It is hard to buy that street person a sandwich, say, because it costs ten bucks at SBARROs. We cannot easily fulfill tzedakah.
Tzedakah, you will recall, is a Jew’s religious obligation to perform charity and philanthropy. The word means “justice”, not “charity” by the way. Justice is just plain right. but it’s hard to affect, taking work. Justice is not abundant, it’s rare and therefore we must work, perform tzedakah or be secular about it or catholic about it or whatever. The point is to add more justice to the world. Charity … well, cheap-o charity … is as easy as dropping a quarter into a cup. Justice is a concept sadly lackinig in our world. Again, we have to fix that.
Hey Dan,
Thanks for the insight. I understand that almost all aspects of life are challenging, and can even get extremely rough and overwhelming. Life can throw may different challenges and tasks at all people, even those with the best intentions. There is, however a certain “power” behing belief, passion and persistence.
Many people decide within themselves that there is not enough of certain things (whether it be wealth, love, or in this case justice). In my opinion these are all terms of the mind. Each term is a definition created as a thought by society and therefore can be conquered and overcome by thought. With enough persistence, you can take an idea and bring it forth into the physical reality.
As for justice, there are, in a sense, two ways to look at this issue. One would be in the ways of Plato and the discussions of Socrates. He argues that justice is good and good can only be attained through self-knowledge. For this he used critical analysis and questioning so that his “students” could find the answers for themselves. So from his point of view there is a universal justice which can only be found when a person looks deep inside their own self and discovers the good.
Today we live in an extremely faced-paced society where people are always rushing about trying to tackle 50 tasks at once. For most people who do not have a strong belief in the theories of “self-knowledge” this task will never be undertaken. Therefore I believe that the only way to perpetuate justice is for those who are willing to perform good and just acts to do so. Making small sacrifices can open others eyes to the power of good and justice. We must start with “baby steps” and we can soon begin to perpetuate justice in a much larger scale.
This is an age where information, culture, and ways of life can spread at exponential rates. As this is a human growth blog, issues of good, justice, and positivity are of substantial importance to us. We believe this starts within each of us as individuals.
Along with others in the blog community we hope that with our small steps we can contribute to society, bring about awareness, and add value to others lives. Thanks again for bringing this issue to my attention. It is one that needs to be discussed time and time again, so that we can all find a better understanding.

Brett: Your reply trumps my blog entry. It’s fantastic. You say some profound, and profoundly wise, things. For example, you say that there is a power behind belief. There is. Belief is a kind of power and it bestows a kind of power too. You’ve taken the pebble from the Master’s hand. You speak of the importance of self-knowledge. Right on-point. Dripping with truth and potential to help those struggling with life. I think your blog has contributed to society; however large or small is irrelevant. Kudos to you, BK.
