#scarcity mentality

Sometimes the beliefs you hold, end up holding you back. “I’m not good enough, I can’t, I don’t have enough time, I’m not as good as _____, I would if I had more money, this is how I am, I can’t change, if my circumstances were different I could”… etc.

These beliefs cause us to think with a scarcity mentality which in turn causes depression, comparison, settling, complacency, dependence, fear… etc.

Understanding scarcity mentality is a good first step in change. Even though we’re just average people, we have the ability to live extraordinary lives if we change the way we think and don’t allow ourselves to become victims of our thought patterns or life circumstances.

Animal Instinct Attracts Animals

Animal Instinct Attracts Animals Animal Instinct Attracts Animals. An instinct is an incredible gift to have. It is a gift that can change the course of your life. Yet, many don’t know what path to follow because our natural instincts are being bred from us. How? By scaring them off, making them feel inadequate, and keeping them at bay. The culprit is society. As human beings, we are programmed…

Do you feel blessed with lots of opportunities? Or do you feel like you're running out of choices, or opportunities in life? If you feel like there's not enough left anymore, then I'm afraid you're already showing signs of the dreaded “scarcity” mindset! Read on to find out the major tell-tale signs of the scarcity mentality.

You Struggle to Achieve Long-Term Objectives

If you regularly feel that you don't have enough time to get everything done, or you feel that you're no longer good enough for that job or business venture (or whatever it is you

are doing) then I'm afraid, I'm very afraid that you already have a scarcity mentality! 

If your mindset is constantly focused on what you don't have instead of what you do, then you're not alone because a lot of folks are feeling this way too, even if humans today are better off than at any time in history! 

You've Mastered the Art of Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop

Even if things are already going well for you, but you still keep on saying that the bad news is just around the corner, then you definitely have a scarcity mentality! And even if your closets are already bursting to the seams (and your place is cluttered) but you still find it tough to get rid of things because you never know when you may need them, then that's a sign or symptom of a scarcity mindset! 

You Love Hearing Others Fail

If you suddenly feel an affinity for listening to sleazy tabloid stories of celebrities and business tycoons who fall prey to sex scandals or wrecked marriages, then I am sorry to say that you are now manifesting the signs and symptoms of a scarcity mindset! 

You'd Rather Choose to Save Instead of Spend Money

While saving for the rainy days is indeed a good thing to do, those who espouse a scarcity mentality do so because they have this great fear that financial ruin or destitution is just around the corner. While your friends and family may call you frugal, I would choose to call you paranoid! 

You're Green with Envy Overt he Success of Others

If you over time get green with envy over the achievement or success of your co-workers or friends, and you keep trash-talking their expensive holidays or shopping purchases, then I'm sad to say that you've already been devoured by the scarcity mindset! 

With a  scarcity mentality a person's actions and thoughts often emanate from a place of fear, as it orients or poison's the individual's mind towards his or her unfulfilled goals and needs, instead of focusing on the things that they currently have, or wish to have. 

How the Law of Attraction works

So we talked about scarcity mindset last week and why it drags you down. This week is about abundance. As I was looking for material to share for today I found that the whole abundant and scarcity ties in with the Laws of Attraction. which is apparently tied in with the Secret which I have never seen but I will have to see about the book.

So today we are talking about the Law of Attraction. Many…

Why is it that scarcity mindset hold a person back? What make a person how has no money keep from having more? It's not because they keep themselves down

What mindset do I have? Simple question, yet it is one of the most important questions a leader can ask themselves. The mindset of a person dictates the success they are going to have. Leaders who have the proper mindset going into a project will have a vastly higher probability of achieving their objective when they have a particular mindset.

I’m send my heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to another MC.

For many years I have been Preaching the Gospel of Longevity to the small wedding MC industry.

This credo says we should regard each other as Colleagues not Competitors. In other words, work together to grow the cake so we receive a larger slice of this delicious sweet we call ‘the best job in the world’.

This is fine in theory – but not a sure thing in a niche market like wedding MCing –…

Pre-decisions: the most important decisions

“Pre-decisions . . . help you make the right decision when you have to make a tough decision.  If you don’t make pre-decisions, you’ll end up making lots of bad decisions, because you’ll cave into your circumstances instead of sticking to your convictions.”- Mark Batterson

As Mark Batterson continues Chapter 3 of Primal, he asserts that your focus determines your reality.  For example, do you focus on what you have or what you don’t have?  That determines whether you display gratitude or greed.  Or, do you focus on your wants or the needs of others?  That reveals whether you show selfishness of compassion, unhappiness or joy.

Most noteworthy, as your focus changes, your perspective changes.  And, as your perspective changes, your life changes.  Yes, you might still find yourself in the same circumstances.  But your heart has changed.  Also, along with your heart change, your motivations and expectations change as well.  Pastor Batterson continues:

“The bottom line is this: your focus determines your reality.  If you focus on your wants, enough will never be enough.  And your heart will get smaller and smaller.  If you focus on the needs of others, you’ll discover that you have more than enough.  If you focus on the here and now, you’ll try to hang on to everything you have.  But if you focus on eternity, you’ll give away everything you’ve got.”

In conclusion, Mark offers one of his core convictions: you cannot outgive God.  However, the author observes, it’s easy for us to operate based on a scarcity mentality.  We believe that the more we give, the less we’ll have.

Yet, in the kingdom of God, that notion gets turned on its head.  For in reality, if you give less, you’ll have less.  In contrast, the more you give, the more you’ll have.  And your heart grows larger for the things of God.

Today’s question: What pre-decisions help you to stick to your convictions?  Please share.

Your Better Self with Akanna: Overcoming the Scarcity Mentality

Last week, we spent some time trying to understand what the scarcity mentality is.  The belief that there will never be enough – whether it’s money, food, emotions or something else entirely. As a result, your actions and thoughts stem from a place of lack instead of believing that you have enough and there’s plenty to go around.  You cling to everything you have, out of fear of coming up short.
