Abundance or Scarcity?
One of my Compass Questions (questions that point me to what is truly important) Am I coming from, making a decision from...Abundance or Scarcity?
This question is part of my current practices, and it helps me be a better person.
When I make choices from abundances, I feel expansive...warm inside, connected, free, fearless...Abundant!
There are a lot of times when my first reaction is not to share. A contraction inside, a withering fear that diminishes my glow. Just noticing this...I get to choose a new.
I have had ideas used by others without getting credit. Money stolen, my prized pizza left overs eaten, and when I think about it...I am sure I have used other peoples ideas without credit. Take the picture above. I found it in google images. Not sure who should get proper credit. Thank you.
For myself I realize I have a lot of scarcity programming and I believe most people do. Yes, we have been programmed, and we have a choice to perpetuate the program or power up a new one. I still have scarcity issues around Pizza...the primal issue of food. Sometimes I growl inside. :) Sometimes I growl out loud. I might have even bit somebody. :)
Try the question for yourself if you choose. Notice how you feel. It feels wonderful when you feel abundant!
I hope you choose.... the scarcity programmed part of me is really ok with you not choosing abundance...for then... you will never know the true power of this question and I will. LOL
Am I coming from Abundance or Scarcity?
Please let me know how it works for you?

5 年I had to retrain my brain to think abundantly and now I know I come from an abundance mindset. Asking the right questions helps - Am I giving or taking in this situation? Am I coming from a place of love? Abundance has nothing to do with money nevertheless it shows up due to a mindset of abundance- I’ve always said “money rains on me” it’s true because I give unconditionally with no strings attached -

5 年I had a conversation with my son last night. He said he related wealth with money. I said you can be wealthy in happiness, joy, peace. Money is just one way you can be wealthy. Same with abundance. Abundance isn’t just stuff. It can be non tangle able things as well. Gratitude seems to be a sibling of abundance. Where you find one you usually find the other.
I would love to hear your thoughts.
