Hello friends,
how are you doing today?
Alright, so there have been questions about this article How lack/scarcity/deficiency empowers and disempowers and now I believe you really want to know what is having an abundant mindset.
Righty, let’s get ourselves a cuppa, … I’ll skip over to the kitchen while you skip over to yours.

Back! How bout you?
Alright, I’ll wait for another minute (looking bored tapping my fingers on the table).

Ready! (with my excited face)
(Not so excited face) There are so many things currently happening to so many people right now. In times of crisis, things can get dark in a person’s mind and adopting an abundant mindset is crucial. If you’ve bumped into this article it’s because you’re meant to see it.
The number one obstacle to an abundant mindset is believing that you can’t get what other successful people have or that it’s not meant for you. You know that saying right? “What you believe, is the truth.” It is ultimately you that would need to change that belief to an optimistic one for it to become true just like if you were to believe in a negative opinion of yourself it’s you that will create its true reality. Basically, what you believe becomes the truth.
You know, the time before I got involved in the relationship that I often tell you about in my articles (yep, the one with you know who – nope not Voldemort, that toxic relationship ? ) I seriously manifested some seriously incredible thoughts before I started that relationship and I had to bottle a lot of my excitement because I was met with so many people that had a scarcity mindset, gosh if I knew about communities of entrepreneurs and action takers then I would have joined them a long time ago, in a heartbeat. The worst place to be was to be in a relationship with a person who was in a constant scarcity mindset, I reckon that killed it for me and what/who you surround yourself with most of your time, you become.
The one thing I am/was always, always, always, till this day, was/is that I’m a big thinker, and when you’re around scarcity mindset it will tell you that you’re bad for wanting to live awesomely, it will tell you you’re greedy, it will tell you every single thing opposing your big dreams not because the person is necessarily being nasty, it’s asking yourself what proof of abundance does the person have in their own life? Are they living with the glass half empty or full? Have they put a cap on their dream? An abundance mindset is uncapped baby!
Here are a few tips or signs of having an abundance mindset.
- Being audacious at your goals.
- People with abundant mindsets practise gratitude. They think more of what they have rather than what they don’t have.
- The abundance mindset is limitless.
- Have you noticed that people with an abundance mindset are generally happy and genuinely happy for others and their success but people with scarcity mindset are competitive and resentful when others are doing well?
- People with an abundant mindset share, teach, learn, and are generous and helpful.

People with abundance mindsets understand that they’ve been given the power of the authentic self to live up to their expectations. People who master the abundance mindset step up from perhaps once being a victim, a person of circumstance, a person who couldn’t choose, a person who once was bitter, resentful, angry etc. At some point, every person feels this but it’s only a very small percentage of people who really ask themselves the hardest questions, answer to themselves honestly even if they don’t like the answer, and decide to do something about it. When you bathe in short lived glory, no satisfaction or fulfilment, it’s not abundance it’s lack – T. Dench Patel, 12 October 2020, 17:01
Abundance allows you to be fulfilled in such a way where you can design your own life. Abundance creates abundance for others. I believe that the abundance mindset looks for the positives during the losses. So many of us, billions of us do not look at the positives when we’re going through bad dealings or losses. It’s so easy to get overwhelmed by the negatives.
To end, I found this article pretty helpful How to shift from a scarcity to an abundance mindset.
Let me know your thoughts.
