Thinking About Sustained Abundance

I have been thinking about how to represent the basic stages of building abundance. As a mental exercise, a friend suggested I try to create a graphic image to make my ideas "real and visible". The result of the exercise is the new Sustained Abundance Logo. The stages of abundance I see as the sides of a perfect triangle in the logo. They are reflected in the development of true, lasting abundance as:

1. Survival
2. Self Sufficiency
3. Surplus

There are other points along the paths, some intermediate stops and some end goals. Reaching abundance is defined by a personal definition of what abundance is in the first place. In the real world a path to abundance is not linear and is reversible, you can have it and then lose it, fight for survival, reach a point of self-sufficiency or even surplus and lose that too.

The idea behind creating abundant thinking is to look at what people do to stay on the path longer, leave it only when they must and return to it full of hope and understanding that there can be a sustainable future, with abundance in many forms.

As a labor of love and a work in progress, I welcome your thoughts, comments and direction in this effort. Please contact me at lance@sustainedabundance.com .
