Part One of Three: Scarcity Thinking Yields Scarcity Results
The scarcity mindset - What is it? Why do we feel it? How do we overcome it?
In life, our mindset determines which road we travel on. One road is paved in scarcity and the other road is filled with abundance at every turn. At any moment, we can choose to change which road we want to travel on.
A scarcity mindset is when you are so tunnel vision focused on and obsessed with a lack of something - usually time or energy or money - that you can't seem to focus on anything else, no matter how hard you try.
The scarcity pathway leads one to experience a life not fully lived. This life can only be described as overflowing with strong and negative reactions like the high tide that creates waves in a rock pool - not to mention the countless missed opportunities and experiences. The abundance pathway allows those who choose it to experience a completely different life - opting to live life to the fullest potential and taking full advantage of and enjoying the wave of opportunities that come their way, along with countless memorable experiences.
One of my favorite quotes is, “The mind is everything - what you think, you become.” It is so true. Mindset is a critical component of success in business and life in general. Your mindset can prolong your life!
Another way of looking at this phenomenon is in terms of a scarcity mindset versus an abundance mindset. A scarcity mindset is what keeps many of us from achieving our goals. An abundance mindset refers to the paradigm that there is plenty out there for everybody and you are worthy of good things.
The question is, how can we make the shift from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset? Stay tuned this week for parts two and three to find out.
