The Meaning of Abundance Mindset
The term “abundance mentality” was first made popular by Stephen Covey in the famous book he wrote called “Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.” The mindset or mentality of abundance requires us to accept the premise that there is “enough” for you and others. Enough time, money, and resources. However, most of us have been trained by well-meaning others and the news media to focus on the apparent lack of time, money, and resources. We are often well-trained to see the lack and shortage in most situations. This can be called the “scarcity mindset.”
The Powerful Mind
I will ask you to be open to the idea that the human mind is a very powerful idea conduit and creator. The mind, however, isn’t as objective as we like to think it is. It tends to look for evidence that supports its preconceived beliefs. If you feed it opinions and news slanted toward scarcity, the human mind will look for more lack in life. But you can train your mind to see the underlying abundance in your life. And you can have fun doing it! That is what the abundance mindset is all about.

If I can do it, you can too. My mind is a better friend to me these days. After rediscovering my abundance mindset, relationships, finances, and health have all turned more positively.
