The principle, the order of the universe, is simple:

Life expands.

This truth runs through everything that exists – from the largest galaxy to the smallest seed. Nothing stands still. Everything grows, unfolds, strives for more being. This isn’t a coincidence. It’s the underlying pattern of all life. Expansion is not a luxury; it’s a law of nature.

Life Wants to Spread

Look at the universe. It didn’t just explode from a Big Bang – it continues to expand. Galaxies move apart, space is created where there was none. This dynamic is not only physical but also spiritually relevant.

A seed knows nothing about economics, dogma, or to-do lists. And yet, once the conditions are right, it pushes upward, toward light, toward life. It wants to grow – not out of ego, but out of nature.
Just like the oranges on this tree!

Children, ideas, relationships, even money – all follow the same principle. Where there is life, it wants more life. More expression, more depth, more experience.

Everything Moves in Cycles – Yet Toward Expansion

Life doesn’t move in straight lines. It moves in waves, in phases. Inhale, exhale. Day, night. Growth, rest. Withdrawal is part of expansion, not its opposite. Winter isn’t the end – it’s preparation for new growth.

Our own processes, whether personal or professional, move in similar cycles. We experience phases of clarity, stagnation, breakthrough. But when we zoom out, we see: life moves forward. And it will, as long as we allow it.

Abundance Is Not a Luxury – It’s a Prerequisite

Here’s the key point:

Abundance isn’t the result of fulfillment – it’s its prerequisite.

If we want to live fulfilled lives – internally and externally – we need space, resources, possibilities. Fulfillment is not the same as frugality or minimalism. Those can be part of it. But true fulfillment requires more than the bare minimum. It needs space, variety, depth, nuance.

A person who’s constantly at their limit – financially, emotionally, or time-wise – can’t make fulfilling choices. Where there’s scarcity, survival mode rules. There’s little room for creativity, love, generosity. Abundance is the soil in which a fulfilled life can grow.

Spiritual Order Is an Order of Generosity and Abundance

In many spiritual traditions, lack is considered virtuous. Poverty, asceticism, renunciation – all meant to bring us closer to ourselves. And yes, sometimes that works. If someone’s too attached to the external, they may need a reset.

But to live permanently in scarcity is not spiritual. It goes against the very principle of life. The divine order, if you will, is not austerity. It’s abundance. Diversity. Splendor. The jungle isn’t a place of restraint – it’s wild, lush, overflowing.

God – or whatever name we give to the higher – doesn’t create sparingly. Life constantly produces more than needed. Millions of seeds, though only a few take root. Color, even though black and white would suffice. Fragrance, though no one demands it.

Why? Because life doesn’t think in terms of efficiency – it thinks in terms of abundance.

Money Is Also Part of This Order

Many people struggle to see money as a spiritual factor. But money is energy. A reflection of value. When we want to bring ideas to life, start projects, support others – we need resources. Abundance. Not just in the heart, but in the bank account too.

A business that’s barely staying afloat can’t do much good. An artist fighting to survive can’t fully express herself. If you want to give, you have to receive first. If you want to shine, you need power.

So no – striving for abundance isn’t selfish. It’s wise. It shows trust in life – and in your own contribution.

Fulfillment Happens When We Make Space for Expansion

We’re here to unfold – not to shrink. Fulfillment happens when we follow that inner movement outward. When we stop holding back, shrinking, minimizing ourselves. When we go with the flow – and that flow is growth.

Abundance isn’t a destination we reach one day. It’s a state we invite, allow, cultivate. And the more we do, the more fulfilled our lives become. Not because we have everything – but because we have enough to give. To create. To truly live.

Conclusion:

If you want to live a fulfilled life, don’t think in terms of lack. The universe lives through expansion. Abundance isn’t the exception – it’s the order. And when we embrace it, we honor life itself.
