[Monday Motivation] From Scarcity to Abundance

Last week I recorded this video, that explained that your perspective is your reality.  The way you choose to perceive anything that happens in life, is your reality.  


The same thing applies to abundance.  What does abundance really mean?  It means what you believe it and perceive it to mean.  To one person it may mean, to have a shelter over head and loved ones in their life.  To another person abundance may mean being wealthy and having more material belongings than they know what to do with.


​So many of us have a scarcity mindset.  We are always looking ahead to what we want to obtain in the future to give us a feeling of abundance, and when we achieve or maintain certain things, then we'll be happy.  Think about how much better we would feel if we appreciated the things that we have in life currently.  If we perceived our current life as abundant, it would give us less anxiety, stress, and disappointment, and more space and clarity to continue to grow and expand.

So what is the quickest way to change this, and go from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset?  Although this may seem difficult at first, and is probably the last solution that comes to your mind, trust me, this will change your life.

When you feel like you're lacking something, give that thing to someone else.  The action of serving others creates happiness and abundance in your own life. 

For example:

• When you're feeling depressed, reach out to a friend to cheer them up.
• When you're feeling lonely and unappreciated, contact a loved one and express your appreciation for them and let them know that you're there for them. 
• When you feel like you're in need of money or material things, donate money or material things to someone else who is in need. 

The great thing about this, is that the more you do it, the more abundant you feel, and the easier it becomes!  I wish you happiness and abundance.  Have an awesome week!
