Abundance: The World Beyond the Door

In Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, the pirates are cursed with eternal life—but at a terrible cost. No matter how much they eat, they are never full. No matter how much they drink, they never get drunk. No matter how much pleasure they seek, they are never satisfied.

Their suffering has nothing to do with how much they possess. It is the frequency of lack—the feeling of an insatiable void that can never be filled.

But aren’t we living under a similar curse?

"I’ll be happier if I have xxx."

"They have a better life because they have xxx, and I don’t."

And how many times have you finally gotten what you wanted, only to feel that fleeting moment of satisfaction slip away? Soon, another "if only" takes its place. It’s just like the pirates’ curse—you have everything, yet it’s never enough. When you live in the frequency of lack, you’ll always be asking yourself: “What else am I missing?”

The Illusion of Control: Getting Comfortable with Brokenness

The feeling of lack is uncomfortable, so why do we stay trapped in it? Maybe because we’ve grown used to it.

It’s like having a broken cabinet door. You’ve figured out that if you slap it three times and give it a hard kick, it will shut—at least for now. It’s not fixed, but you know how to manage it. This gives you a sense of control: “At least I can still close the door.”

But deep down, you fear the day when this trick no longer works, when no amount of kicking will make the door stay shut.

This is the illusion of control. It keeps you stuck in a cycle of constant fixing rather than true resolution.

The Identity We Build Around Struggle

At some point, closing that broken door becomes more than just a habit—it becomes part of your identity. You start to take pride in it. "Look at how well I can handle this!" Closing the door becomes a ritual, a performance, something that makes you feel accomplished.

You even earn a title: The Master of Closing Doors.

But what happens if the cabinet is fixed?

If the door works perfectly, then your story as "The Master of Closing Doors" is over.

And if that story disappears—do you disappear too?

So, maybe you need to break another door.

That voice inside you—the one clinging to control, fear, and struggle—is the voice of lack. It keeps you locked in a cycle of grasping, believing that suffering is necessary, that pain is inevitable. Every ounce of exhaustion, every moment of dissatisfaction, every frustration—it all comes from this attachment.

The "Master of Closing Doors" is always searching for another broken cabinet. And if there isn’t one? They’ll break something just to keep the story going.

Abundance: Stop Fixing the Door, Open It Instead

True abundance isn’t about fixing broken doors—it’s about knowing you have countless other options.

You can grab a tool and repair it.

You can call a professional.

You can replace the cabinet altogether.

But what if the door itself was never the point?

You look up and realize there’s another door in the room—a real door.

You take a deep breath and open it.

Sunlight floods in.

Beyond the threshold, there’s an endless beach, warm sand beneath your feet, the sound of waves crashing in the distance.

You step outside, feeling the golden sunlight on your skin, dancing barefoot on the sand, laughter bubbling up from deep within.

This is abundance.

It’s not about struggling to fix the same old problems.

It’s about realizing there is an entire world beyond them.

Do you dare to believe that just outside this room, there’s an open beach waiting for you?

Trust: The Final Leap

The last step in this journey is trust.

You have to trust that this entire story has a bigger picture.

That the broken cabinet wasn’t meant to trap you—but to reveal your ability to move beyond it.

Your higher self isn’t the "Master of Closing Doors." It’s the part of you that feels alive, expansive, and free.

Listen—can you hear it?

The waves rolling in, the cry of the seagulls.

Everything is happening at the perfect time, gently guiding you toward the door.

All you have to do is open it
