Abundance Mentality: Do You Have It?
The term “abundance mentality” is credited to author Stephen Covey, although it appears in many, many other places since it has been popularized in wealth and success circles. It is another way of describing the same type of mindset that success masters like Napoleon Hill and Wallace Wattles, [Name Withheld], and many other modern success communicators illustrated. The good news is, it’s not overly difficult to have, as long as you can keep focused on the fact that you want the abundance mentality.
Plenty To Go Around
Here is a good basic summary of the abundance mentality, courtesy of Wikipedia:
“…a person believes there are enough resources and success to share with others…It is commonly contrasted with the scarcity mindset, which is founded on the idea that, given a finite amount of resources, a person must hoard their belongings and protect them from others. Individuals with an abundance mentality are supposed to be able to celebrate the success of others rather than be threatened by it.”
If you think of this mindset in terms of creating wealth, it’s easy to see how developing an abundance mentality will be more beneficial than maintaining its opposite, the “Scarcity Mindset”. Apply it to the Law of Attraction and think about what you will be drawing to you—abundance, success, mutual respect and goodwill. Consider applying its opposite, and I fear to think how much struggle you’ll be inviting into your life!
Taking Sides
It’s not hard to figure out how people come to live life in the scarcity mindset, but it is a sad state of affairs. Think how much happier we would all be if we all believed in the abundance mindset, and all lived life with a positive and generous spirit. That’s the world I want to be living in—and so it’s the world I work hard to create!
