An Abundance mentality is based on the belief that the Universe is so rich that it will impart sufficient resources for everyone. The present messages you may receive from the media and other people at times convey a sense of lack and scarcity when in fact we have a Universe that has a potential for endless opportunities.
When you have an Abundant mentality you celebrate the beauty of mankind. The possibilities for tapping everyone’s potential. The beauty to be found in each individual person. The awe and respect you must have for life that presents you with so many challenges and opportunities to grow as a person.
In our fear of losing out in life we may tend to be distrustful of life, believing that only material riches can provide us with security and satisfaction. We may cynically comment that the Golden rule of reality is that only those who have most gold and riches in life will be able to have successful and happy lives.
This mentality can only foster a paradigm of Scarcity and lack of opportunities. With such a mind state our fear of loosing out will restrain us from taking risks to succeed or to help others out.
Success requires a change in the way we view life, a shift to a state of mind that is free from restrictions of a Scarcity mentality. People with a scarcity mentality tend to believe there is only so much resources available in the world; and if someone else has it, that means there will be less for them. On the other hand people with an Abundance mentality, are genuinely happy for the successes, achievements, and good fortune of other people.
If you have an Abundance Mentality you do not guard your boundaries and hoard your knowledge or your skills – you are not afraid that others will steal your status. You do not live in fear; because there is enough out there for everyone. Your success doesn’t mean failure for others. On the contrary, the more successful you are, the more others are affected in a positive way. You are happy when friends and associates prosper.
In situations which can lead to potential conflict or confrontation you look for a “win/win” solution.
An abundance mentality will take you beyond a positive mental attitude. It will eliminate small thinking and offset negative energy. Rather than dwelling on what you do not have you will start simply to appreciate what you already have.
This will not only turn a sour mood into a more positive one but it can also help you notice possibilities you have missed or forgotten.
People with an abundance mentality believe the following:
- The more I give, the more I will receive and the more there is to give.
- The more I use time effectively, the more I find time.”
- The more I know, the more there is to know. – People are great. They will help me reach my goals. – If I need ideas, the ideas will come.
With an abundance mentality you take responsibility for your own growth. Neither good nor bad events are mindlessly attributed to external causes or blamed on other people. Rather than trying to find blame on others you question why a situation happened and get to the root cause. You then gear your mind towards solutions not problems. Such a mentality will pave the way for you to willingly contribute and put yourself in a resourceful state not only for yourself but also in the service of others. But how can you create an Abundance mentality?
Well for one thing, avoid associating with people who have a scarcity mentality. Be selective with what you put into your mind. Do not listen to trash programs that tend to spread negative vibes around. Create your own environment of abundance. Even if it feels like you have a scarcity right now, you can turn that around by reminding yourself of all the things to appreciate in your life.
Act as if you are already experiencing the benefits of abundance. Treat yourself to things you enjoy- even if you cannot afford them regularly, but at least enjoy an abundance moment once in a while. Go to a very good restaurant and enjoy a gourmet meal, take a holiday and stop thinking about your wallet for a while. Do not focus on the idea that you are short on money – focus on the benefits that you have and the opportunities that you are abundantly attracting. This does not mean that you go out and overspend yourself. Responsibility is always a virtue. However do not Scrooge yourself into a scarcity mentality. Live life to the full and know that Providence will provide to those who live a life of gratitude and expectation.
If you catch yourself being guarded with others and trying to protect your knowledge or information, try and fight this tendency. Be generous and share your information. You will feel so much bigger and better for it.
Read, listen to and watch personal development material. These are the fuel that will nourish your Abundance mentality. Have a positive attitude to the abundance and success of your friends, family and co-workers.
As you build your levels of Abundance in your mind you will find it easier to contribute to others and to a Higher Cause. Your sense of abundance will spill over and positively affect those around you; and finally it will flow back to you again.
