Chris' Travel Lounge: On Horseback in the Andes

Life's Abundance

By, Dr. Christopher Pierce

Written at West Bay Estate, Fair Haven, NY, and read at the Wedding of Chris and Mindy Colloca at West Bay Estate on August 7, 2010.

Abundance is an attitude.

It is the result of action, persistence and adaptability in the face of a challenge.

It is a passion for life and confidence in one’s self and others.

An abundance of knowledge does not make one wise.

An abundance of money does not make one rich.

And an abundance of grapes does not necessarily make great wine.

Genius is an abundance of life, health and happiness.

A life filled with abundance is available to all and simple to have, when your beliefs, thoughts and actions come from a place of love.

Abundance doesn’t begin with having a lot of something.

It begins with the belief that you can contribute a greater life experience to more people than just yourself.

When trust guides your beliefs, thoughts and actions, you become free to express who you really are, and how you truly feel for those people you care most about.

Fear consumes abundance.

When you put others first in your life, you earn trust, build respect, cultivate love and are awarded with the honor of integrity.

Mindy, Chris, Melia and Kai, friends and family, may each of us here today enrich one another’s lives by practicing a life full of abundance.
