Look at your life right now, and assess how you're faring? Are you a success? Or a total failure? Well, believe it or not but how you condition your mindset can lead you either to succeed or fail! According to psychologists (and motivational speakers) your mindset is defined as to whether you believe qualities or traits like talent and intelligence are changeable or fixed. Let's try to compare two types of mindsets that are common in many people today, and it's the “scarcity” mindset versus the “abundance” mindset.
Positive Versus Negative When I'm trying to compare scarcity vs. Abundance, I'm not just trying to compare words like deficiency versus excess, because when I say abundance, It's not all about excess, but it's actually about gaining a feeling of deep satisfaction in our mind, and in our heart and soul. In simple terms, the battle between scarcity vs. Abundance could be described in two simple terms – Positive versus Negative. An individual who possesses a mindset of abundance chooses to think in positive terms about everything that happens in life, and places more focus on the limitless possibilities that exist in their life. A person who has an abundance mindset attracts more wonderful experiences an opportunities into their life, whereas the individual who has a scarcity mindset keeps on dwelling on what is wrong, or what is not working with their life. These poor individuals also have a victim mentality, where they blame everyone else for their failures. Risk Takers Versus Playing it Safe You could also simplify the debate between scarcity vs. Abundance as a battle between those who take risks versus those who just play it safe. The men and women who espouse the abundance mindset often believe that in order for them to grow or prosper, they need to escape their comfort zones, and take the risk in order to achieve their objectives. However, the dudes who adopt a scarcity mindset are often pulled back or paralyzed by fear, as they dare not get out of their comfort zones, think small and avoid taking risks at all costs. And because of this fear, they dig their own hole and hide in it! Deficit Versus Plenty The debate between scarcity vs. Abundance also boils down to much simpler terms as deficit versus plenty. An individual who wholeheartedly espouses the abundance mindset firmly believes that there's always more of everything in life, regardless of whether it's good luck, opportunities, resources, relationships or wads of cash. On the other hand, the poor bloke who espouses the scarcity mentality almost always lives in fear or insecurity. The fear can be boundless, whether it's the fear of losing money, or losing good health, losing a loved one or losing time. And because people who have the scarcity mentality always believe that there will never be enough, they always remain in bitter competition to stay on top! So, in the debate between scarcity vs. Abundance, where do you stand?
