How Witches Navigate the Paradox of Gratitude and Wanting More

“What do you want more of?” my friend, Cindy, asked me.

“Peace,” I replied.

A lot runs through my mind. Am I taking good enough care of my elderly parents? What are the results of my latest health-related tests? Did I listen with enough attention to my husband and friends?

Some days it would be nice to have the feeling of peace and calm … for once.

I have three insights for you.

1. You do not have to pick “this or that.”

    Focusing on gratitude does not mean you need to let go of making progress to have more and better in your life. In his book on the subject, the author Tom Marcoux wrote: “It is an AND-Universe.”

    “Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.” – Eckhart Tolle

    You can have both gratitude for what you have and a desire for more. Abundance is about more than enough. You can have an abundance of friends, family time, money, and more.

    2. Consider “gratefully going for more.”

    Being grateful is a powerful source of energy. With our magickal skills, we can achieve the bigger and better facets of our cherished dreams.

    The Gods want us to be happy. They want us to have what supports us in creating meaning in our lives.

    People use whatever source of energy they can. I know someone who uses anger-energy to jump into action. Okay. And, it can be good to shift away from that energy once one is in motion.

    Gratefully going for more is positive, healthy … and often fun.

    3. Ask Goddess to soothe your feelings about lacking.

    I like this phrase “Send lacking packing.”

    How can you do that?

    Connect with the Goddess. Use a prayer like this or something similar.

    Gracious Goddess,
    Ease my feelings of lack.
    Grow my abundance of _______.
    So that I may be at peace with myself,
    And the world around me.
    So Mote It Be.

    May these insights support you.

    Blessed Be,
    Moonwater
