The abundance assumption

If you take a look at the media for any period of time, you can’t help but notice competition. Our society and economic models today are built on competition.

Now people only compete because they believe that there is a scarce resource. You compete for a prized position at a company because there is only one position available. You pay an exorbitant fee for a house because there is only one house on the block.

This competitive mindset forces you to see scarce resources. By focusing on the “one thing that matters”, you must compete in order to get it.

But, what if you assumed that there would be “more than enough” for everyone? How would you operate? How would you treat others?

I’m willing to bet that you would share more. You wouldn’t be concerned with competition because there’d be no need. You’d be happy to see another person win, simply because it’s fun to see people win.

The path forward then is simple: assume this abundance mindset. Believe in abundance and you get to see possibility where everyone else sees scarcity.

You merely need to say No to scarcity. And say yes to Abundance. 

Now will you?
