Abundance or Lack?

Are you really in control? Are You Inside Out?

Abundance or Lack?

What are YOU thinking about today?

This poster really caught my eye. Your mindset determines how you view the world and what you expect to happen to you. This is very important to pay attention to – which one describes you?

Abundance mindset

Have a sense of gratitude

Compliments others

Forgives others

Reads every day & talks about ideas

Wants others to succeed

Sets goals and knows who they want to be

Exudes joy

Scarcity mindset

Have a sense of entitlement

Criticizes others

Holds grudges

Watches TV every day & talks about people

Hopes that others fail

Does not set goals and does not know who they want to be

Exudes anger/anxiety

Do you realize each item on this list is a CHOICE? People tend to think of themselves as the victim of their circumstances or other people’s choices, but in reality we get to CHOOSE what to do with what life hands us. We can cry about how sour life is or we can make lemonade from the lemons we are handed. The choice is ours to make.

Action step: Choose 1 item from the Scarcity mindset that sounds like you (there’s probably at least 1 that you fall into from time to time … or daily). Look for the opposite characteristic in the Abundance mindset. [There are more on the poster than just the ones I listed above. Pinch the screen to enlarge it.] Determine that from now on you will make a different CHOICE. You will choose to BE a different person … it’s all based on your choices, you know. You get to CHOOSE who you will BE – did you know that? No one can MAKE you be the person with the Scarcity mindset just as no one can MAKE you think like the Abundance mindset. It’s completely up to YOU.
