What does living an abundant life mean? It means being happy and content with the life you have. You do not need to have a lot of money to be happy in your life.
Money can buy big houses, cars, jewelry, and many more expensive things. However, it only gives you temporary happiness. After having all of it, you would always think that something else is missing in your life.
Having an abundant life does not require material things. Instead, you must learn to be content with what you have. Living an abundant life is everybody’s dream, and it always depends on your attitude.
If you want to learn how to have an abundant life, you can learn from the following:
1. Enjoy life.
To live an abundant life means you should enjoy your life and never let anyone or anything ruin it, including stress. You must do the things you enjoy the most no matter how busy you are. Allow yourself to enjoy the sport you have always loved every now and then. Give time to your book reading habit at least before going to sleep.  Or travel with your loved ones or on your own when time and budget allow.
2. Always wear a smile.
Smiling is the best way to brighten up your day. Your smile can make others feel good and may even motivate them to keep going on a hard day. Moreover, it can prevent you from looking old, tired, worn down, and overwhelmed. Plus, it can be an effective stress reliever. So keep smiling!
3. Stay connected with God.
One of the ways to live an abundant life is to stay connected with God. If you believe in God and that He is the source of blessings, then be faithful to Him. Studying the Bible can also help you receive both physical and spiritual blessings.
4. Start your day early.
Start your day early to get more things done in the day. Get out of bed earlier than usual to pray and thank God for the new day. Then, see to it that you warm up your body in an exercise to activate your sleepy self. Also, eat a proper breakfast so you will have enough energy to get going.
5. Celebrate success with gratitude.
You must celebrate every success you get in life. No matter how big or small it is, success is a success. Learn to appreciate every little progress you make. Doing so will help you to be more content and grateful in life.
Moreover, celebrating your success will motivate you to work harder to achieve the next level. Contentment does not include embracing mediocrity. While enjoying and being grateful for your current achievements, you should always aim to improve yourself.
6. Meet new friends.
Having a lot of good friends can help you enjoy life more. Moreover, you can have more people to turn to whenever you need help or someone to talk to. Therefore, do not get tired of people. Be friendly and approachable all the time.  Smiling is also one of the ways to gain new friends along the way as well.
7. Learn to forgive and forget.
How could you live an abundant life if you kept on hoarding bitterness and pain in your heart? Peace is an important element in having an abundant life. However, you cannot have peace if there is unforgiveness inside you.
Forgiving those who have offended you can help you heal and be a better person. In addition,  forgetting their mistakes can bring you peace and help you truly move forward.
