Abundance in All Things

When we feel that something is scarce (time, money, or other resources especially), we start to behave differently toward that thing. Maybe we hoard it, or we end up wasting it because we’re so worried about how little there is, or we never take the time to enjoy what we have or live in the moment. All of this negativity brings us down. So what if, instead, we took an attitude of abundance? What if we expected the best from life instead of expecting the worst? How would our lives improve?

The basic idea of karma is that what you put out into the world, you receive back in turn. A similar concept is that whatever you’re looking for, that’s what you’re going to find.

The premise of the show is that two genetically altered lab mice share a cage (and are friends). Each episode began with the following dialogue sequence:

Pinky: “Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight?”

And thus the story began!
