This is one of those posts I should write all of the time. Copy, paste and edit with the latest examples when I think of it in my own life I suppose. But I digress.
The scarcity mentality is something that holds back anyone that engages in it - a great hero, a hard worker, a good person - all succumb to this trap if they don't make the choice to live consciously or if they slip out of conscious living. I know because I've been there. Over and over, I've been there - then I snap out of it and life gets good, better, real good and then I feel like I do when my chest tightens from sheer joy, choking even my laughter and giggles with a feeling so bright and divine. Like after you walk away from your first kiss. Land your first true to life success.
That feeling is the opposite of what we are talking about here (at first).
Scarcity mentality is the idea that there is not or may not be enough. Enough for you, enough for them, enough for the other creatures. It's may not be a conscious effort, but perhaps a sub conscious fear of loss or deprivation. This enables some to be takers and others givers (yes, givers may still have a scarcity mentality, based on their personal outlook). If you look up the word 'scarcity' you get responses like 'insufficient' or shortage. Even dearth (which I've never read before and have no desire to look up).
To get that which you know you deserve - yes, you deserve what you do - you have to know it, envision it-then you have to work. Keep going, stay flexible and ask that which is beyond you always to keep tugging you in the right direction. To break free of the feeling that there may not be enough for you, go to work for your purpose, your ideal and then let it go. Know also what you want - I want a jet - and then go to work with the honest faith that you can and will earn what you deserve while serving your purpose.
Will there be changes? Yes, years ago, I wanted a lot of things and now I want a jet. I don't want it for the privilege of owning one or for the status, but merely because I travel a lot and would like my girls to travel with me without the discomfort that has caused me to write, interview and complain. Right now, for example, I have some sort of illness that I know I caught on the way back from Miami. So I am sequestered and none too happy with the ice, vitamins and gross feeling. Plus I'm uneasy about my kids getting microwaved to "speed up" the process of search. But I'm on a tangent again...
See yourself free and happy. See yourself doing what your values represent in your world and freely present your gifts. As one very wise woman once told me "who are you to hold back from what you are to the world" and I would charge the same to anyone believing that they may not have enough.
It is, so it is enough.
Make the best of something even if it is nothing in your current state of mind. Gifts of the right kind will follow. I'm sure of it. I've read about it and experienced it, seen it and in times as hard as they are, I hope to rid just a few more of their scarcity mentality. There is enough, but it the type of enough that lies in our soil or in a mother's belly. It is a potential everything that we have to see, enjoy and grow before it will be actualized. But it will be. We have to see our own success and light in the world.
In life, in business, in personal endeavors, have gratitude for what is to come, the trust in yourself to do what is needed to get there and once it knocks, boldly open the door.
I'll be lecturing and / or coaching at an upcoming entrepreneurial event in Cedar City. Contact me if you'd like your paradigm shifted there or in general.
To your success, cheers.
