From road tripping to impromptu silence breakers, my kids and I love to play “Two Truths and a Lie.” I don’t know if their interest is sparked by learning something new or catching Mom in a lie, but in each session, someone is guaranteed to walk away with an “Aha!” or a “Wow!” moment at the expense of learning something new, so let’s play!
Scarcity is reality. This is a lie. The belief in short supply and limited options is often based on a fixed and predetermined mindset. In tasty yet visual terms, let’s start off with a buttery pound cake (one of my specialties by the way 😉). With each slice shared, the opportunity to share and consume becomes limited, potentially thrusting one into a scarcity mindset without thought to the ability to make more. Through self-preservation, life often conditions us to live a life of scarcity, blinding us to the options, availability and opulence that life holds. Scarcity is a surmountable mindset, and it only becomes reality if we allow it to. A mindset based on generosity, profusion and unlimited supply can dismantle the scarcity stronghold. When releasing strongholds, we must maintain boundaries, as they are necessary to promote balance, but we should never allow them to fertilize scarcity. Balance combined with focus, determination and open mindedness opens up an amazing Space of Fruition.
Abundance is real. This is a truth. Abundance based on a growth mindset delivers freedom. Submersion into an environment supportive of abundance through: the gracious identification of what you have, enveloping yourself with people who share an abundance mindset, pursuing positive energy, and training your mind to see through obstacles to possibilities, will unlock the gates of wealth. To keep it short and pound cake sweet, You Receive What You Believe, and this truth will definitely set you free!
Here is the final truth. Scarcity and abundance have probably both occupied space within your mind at one time or another. The brain does not work well when forced to process contradictions. Ultimately, something will get thrown out. When you choose abundance, scarcity will fail to exist, as a gain does not impose a loss in that space. Each success is unique to its successor, yielding the opportunity for Everyone to Win. But remember, you don’t just sit in abundance; it is an active mindset that is aware of scarcity but chooses to be governed by opportunities, not limitations.
From resumes to relationships, focusing on what you have will overshadow what you lack. Appreciate and enjoy life as it is and anticipate plentitude on the horizon. The game that we just played is definitely through my eyes, and this amplified view through the shades of abundance is guaranteed to make you a winner!
