As I gather fruit and berries in the fall, I am reminded that nature is abundance itself. The blackberry bushes are full. The apple trees are so loaded that branches are bending and touching the ground with their bounty. The things that are out of my control are doing great, and the things I try to control, like my garden, are not doing as well.
It seems there's a lesson there. When I give up the need to control the outcome, things have a way of working out. So when we are moving forward on our life path, being willing to let go of how we think it "should" be, or what we think we "should" do, may be the key to reaping an abundance of joy and fulfilment on our path.
The seeds of abundance are everywhere in our life, both in nature, and in our own day to day experiences. But when we are gearing our actions on fear, or doubts, and trying to control the outcome, we block the flow of abundance that is naturally present. However, being willing to give of ourselves "abundantly" -- our time, our love, our compassion, our money -- those are the seeds of abundance in our life.
