Why inspirational t-shirts? Learning to live in...

As someone who has never been motivated to create an empire or amass wealth, it may appear unusual that I'm designing inspirational t-shirts featuring the word "abundance" on them.

“So why do it” you ask?

That’s a fair question.

The truth is, I’ve come to understand that abundance isn’t something we acquire—

it’s something we accept.

It’s already within us.

What we perceive as necessities in life are not attained by pursuing or accumulating them, but by recognizing and embracing them as elements of our inherent wholeness.

I learned this during one of the hardest seasons of my life.

During that period, I resided in a small, dilapidated apartment with my wife, our two children, and our dog. The building was in a state of disrepair.

Trash lined the streets. Crime was common.

I was afraid. 

I was ashamed. 

I was lost.

I felt like I had failed.

I had given up a secure job and a comfortable home to embark on a new business venture and start a new chapter in life. However, the business did not succeed. Our home became too expensive, and we had to relocate. I worked several jobs, but they still weren't sufficient to provide for my family, and the pressure started affecting my marriage.

It felt like everything—my work, my home, even my relationship—was slipping away.

So I did the only thing I knew how to do.

I tried to connect to the Source of my life. I prayed.

Not the kind of prayer that repeats memorized words and hopes for an answer, but a deep, searching kind of meditative mindset—a reaching for something that felt distant but true.

In that stillness, I remembered something.

Years ago, I was freed from addiction by something I can only describe as gentle, yet powerful, sense of Love.

And I wondered—where had it gone?

Had it left me? Had I lost it?

As I sat with those questions, something became clear:

Love hadn’t gone anywhere. 

It had always been here. 

I just hadn’t been acknowledging it.

And as I leaned back into that truth, a simple but profound idea came to me:

“We must accept that we have, before we can get, abundance.”

Of course.

Abundance was missing—I was blocking it with fear—the fear that I didn’t have it.

It’s like receiving a gift. The present has already been given, but it's our job to unwrap it and enjoy what's inside.

For me, “unwrapping” meant accepting that we are expressions of something greater—that we are already connected to a source of love, completeness, and supply. But we can’t experience it fully until we accept that it’s already ours.

As I began to shift my thinking, something changed.

I started trusting in what I couldn’t yet see—but deeply felt.

I leaned into Love.

And slowly, steadily, my life began to transform.

Not just internally, but outwardly too.

Opportunities arose. Financial backing emerged from unforeseen sources. We managed to move into a home that suited our family perfectly. The appropriate vehicles became available just when we needed them. My health got better. My marriage started to mend as I discovered a level of humility and understanding I previously lacked.

Life started to rebalance.

But more importantly, I began to see that Love was the source of it all.

When I experienced poverty, Love showed me abundance. When I felt frail, Love provided strength. When I was fearful, Love granted me bravery. When I felt isolated, Love offered connection.

When the moment arrived to share with others, I found that I had an abundance to offer.

That’s what abundance means to me.

Not accumulation—but acceptance.

Love never leaves us.

And when we accept it as our own, it meets every need we have.

That’s why I created these shirts.

I want you to know and feel this love, too. 

They’re simple reminders of a truth that changed my life:

“We must accept that we have, before we can get, abundance.”

I put these words in quotes because they were given to me—they didn’t feel like something I invented, but something I received.

Each shirt comes with a mantra card with these words as a small gift—a reminder of where our true abundance comes from.

If you find yourself struggling with lack in any area of life, let this shirt, this card, this idea, remind you of what you already have. 

Welcome to your abundant life.
