Abundant Life!?

What does it mean to have an abundant life? How do you have an abundant life when it seems as though things are not going right. How do you really acquire an abundant life? How do you keep an abundant life even when things are bad? I have heard many times "God came to give you life and to give it more abundantly" How do you attain that abundant life?

Any thoughts on this subject? I would really like to hear your opinions or maybe you have some scriptures to share on this subject.
