I don't think itis merely having plenty of everything, or being super-rich. I think it is those kinds of things, and having lots to share, or having riches and being able to use them fully and wisely. I also think that abundance is having, and being in the best-possible circumstances for yourself at a certain time.
But what do YOU think?

1. A great or plentiful amount.
2. Fullness to overflowing: "My thoughts . . . are from the abundance of my heart" Thomas De Quincey.
3. Affluence; wealth.
4. Chemistry The amount of an isotope of an element that exists in nature, usually expressed as a percentage of the total amount of all isotopes of the element.
You CAN have an abundance of "negativity" and crappy - bad things... you can have an abundance of negativity, bad luck, misery, despair and hopelessness. So NO it doesn't apply to having the best possible circumstance.
I think it is having too much of something, more than you can deal with. Be that nice things or not.

Abundance is defined by the circumstance. For Paleolithic Hunter-Gatherer Man, abundance was having a natural shelter to get in out of the elements, a sustainable fire, and enough meat and greens for 3 to 5 days. Abundance to Neolithic Farmer-Man is having the crops put up safely in the barn and the cellar and enough stacked wood to heat and cook your way thru the winter. Plus some extra crop for next year's seed and a bit left over to trade for a pig. For Industrial-Man it means credit at the bank. Abundance gets fatter as life gets both longer and easier - but one truth stitches all forms of abundance together: we do not give easily until we have what we need for ourselves - and that keeps changing with the way we live our lives.

Abundance is a feeling of having more than what you personally consider to be enough

At one time we lived in a cellular domicile and that i assumed we've been unfavourable, I longed for a "real" domicile. we've got a captivating domicile. All that i wanted. i like my domicile. however the abundance of that's the relatives I proportion it with, their love. residing the plentiful existence is being grateful for what rather concerns. God knows we prefer nutrition and shield, and as quickly as we've those issues we are blessed, as quickly as we proportion those issues we are showing our gratitude. existence without my relatives does no longer be well worth residing. Having issues to savour is great, having relatives to proportion those issues with? The plentiful existence. Mark Twain positioned it superb: Happiness is desiring what you have, no longer having what you prefer.

Abundance is having a surplus above what you need and enough to share with others as needed.

It is what you feel. A small child with just two toys can feel that two is an abundance.

Abundance is when you have more than you need...and needs differ from person to person while greed has no end.
