The devastation that has rocked the Gulf Coast recently is almost unimaginable, is not it? I know these are extraordinary circumstances, but the looting that took place made me reflect on why some people take what they want and why some people only take what they need.
It seems that those who come from a place of scarcity take what they want, perhaps in spite of what they need. But those who come from a place of abundance in their hearts and minds, take only what they need.
As a coach who helps service professionals only attract plenty of customers, I think there was little a lot '. (I myself faced monster that at one point!) A disaster like Katrina can move our thoughts almost immediately by the fear of never being enough to be overwhelmingly grateful for what they have. I'm sure many of you can check thanks for your health, your loved ones, your home and your pantry full, at least.
What do you think scarcity is not to us:
Scarcity thinking makes us treasure. For example, you "save" some clothes to wear only for special occasions? Yet, when it is decided that the opportunity is "good enough" to wear it, it is fashionable or not is in some form or another state which makes it more wearable? Why not just take it out and enjoy it now? Because there is that little voice that says you might have something to replace this one if you spilled something on it, or got torn or otherwise damaged, right?
Scarcity thinking prevents us from giving. And not to put a plug in everything that the universe wants to send our way. One of the mantras in the Client Abundance coaching programs is "Giver's Get." In other words, the more you give - your time, your skills, your compassion, your help and support, and yes, your money - the more you get back. It may not always take the same form, but it's true ... more you give, the more you get.
For example, some years ago there was a family in our community who lost everything in a fire. I did not know them and things were tight for us right now, but I wrote a small check and a note with my prayer. A few weeks later, I received a project that was three times the fees I had ever received to date.
What do you think is plenty for us:
And this is what I think is plenty for us. Opens up possibilities and opportunities that would never be able to know if we were not open to receiving them, to accept the concept that there is enough for everyone, and that we are good enough to merit not only abundance, but to want it as well!
The best part of 'donors get' conviction is not even have to believe it happens in your life.
Now, think about what would you do if you found yourself in similar situations, like Hurricane Katrina has devastated so many people. Would you take only what you need? Want to give everything he had left for another? Want to try to restore everything that was "borrowed" in some other way? Recognize when your thoughts come from a place of not having enough, or know that there is always more than enough.
At the moment, decide to live life with the thought and action abundance. Complete the following exercises and watch the abundance flow your way:
1. What is an action that could take to move from scarcity thinking to abundance thinking?
2. You need a physical reminder to change your thinking? An elastic wrist shot that whenever you find yourself falling into scarcity thinking can do wonders in a very short amount of time!
3. Repeat every morning and evening - with feeling!: Embracing the richness and abundance embraces me.
You feel a change in your thinking already? Well! Now, there's something - money, blood, time, clothing - that would give the relief effort that may feel uncomfortable, as you make this change in thinking but you know that feel good once you've done so ? Commit today to just one thing. I promise you will return to you in ways that you can not even imagine.
