An old Italian parable tells of a poor man who goes to church every day and prays before the statue of a great saint, begging, "Dear saint - please, give me the grace to win the lottery." After months, the exasperated statue looks down at the begging man and says, "My son - please...buy a ticket."

With our October’s theme of Abundance still guiding us, we ask: which is more important in bringing abundance into our lives; Effort, or Chance? Does it matter more that we keep ourselves open to the forces of luck and synchronicity, or that we put in the hard work needed to build something of our own willpower?

The truth is, Abundance is the result of both. We are in constant co-creation with the universe. Letting go to the flow is beautiful, and leaves room for many a possibility, and yet, sitting back to wait for the universe to bring us exactly what we want means that we may be waiting a while. Working hard to create our success means we achieve much in life, but disregarding the role of visualization, manifestation, serendipity and divine alignment means we are ignoring a vital resource.

This New Moon, take time to contemplate; Are you more of a Grow-Er or a Flow-Er? If your tendency is to fixate on a certain pathway to success and 'grow it alone', ask yourself what can you do to open up to new potential and divine synchronicity? If your tendency is to fixate on a certain pathway to success and 'grow it alone', ask yourself what YOU CAN do to open up to new potential and divine synchronicity?
