What Is Abundance To You?
Posted on July 7, 2009What Is Abundance From Your Eye?
Abundance is a concept often debated in spiritual and
entrepreneurial circles.
Entrepreneurs commonly use the catch-phrase “thinking
BIG,” but they really mean the same thing.
Abundance is tough to define because it’s one of those
unique ideas that must be experienced to really be
understood … it can’t just be explained.
Yet the most encouraging part of adopting an abundance
mindset is how it can connect you to people with totally
different set of beliefs and values.
It instantly sustains inclusivity even with people who
are dramatically different.
POP QUIZ: What do Mother Theresa and Donald Trump
have most in common?
The answer is their abundance mind-set.
Donald Trump says, “If you’re going to think anyway,
you might as well think big.”
Mother Theresa said: “The more we discover the
magnitude and abundance of God’s gifts, the more we
will find ourselves.”
Again, the abundance mindset creates connections.
Bucky Fuller had this to say about the abundance mindset:
“The condition of planet earth is abundance. Our belief in
either scarcity or abundance determines how our financial,
legal, political and military systems are set up or exist at all.Scarcity and abundance are foundational and contextual ideas.
They each give rise to a distinct system of thought and a number
of rules, characteristics and measures which only make sense
within their own system.”
Above all, the abundance-mindset is a choice. In other
words, you choose to look through the lens of scarcity, or
through the lens of abundance. There is no in-between.
“Do … or do not. There is no try.” ~ Yoda
Because there are are so many differing opinions about
abundance, my colleagues and I have decided to conduct
this worldwide survey get more opinions – your opinion – on
this highly debated topic.
My JV partners, Alex Mandossian and Scott Martineau are
hosting the Virtual Abundance Expo this week, so I figured
this a great opportunity to host a survey and attract the
best single sentence that clearly defines abundance.
What to do now: Please use the comment box to write your
definition of abundance.
So what do you say … are you game?
If you are game, then take a peek at these 8 abundance quotes
to get your heart and mind moving…
“The only factor becoming scarce in a world of abundance is
human attention”~ Kevin Kelly in Wired
“Nothing amuses me more than the easy manner with which
everybody settles the abundance of those who have a great deal
less than themselves.”~ Jane Austen (1775 – 1817)
“Abundance is, in large part, an attitude” ~ Sue Patton Thoele
“Abundance of knowledge does not teach men to be wise”
~ Heraclitus (540 BC – 480 BC)
“The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the
abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide
enough for those who have too little”~ Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882 – 1945)
“Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something
we tune into”~ Wayne Dyer
“Expect your every need to be met. Expect the answer to
every problem, expect abundance on every level”~ Eileen Caddy
“Not what we have, but what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance”
~ Epicurus
Now it’s your turn … type in what you feel abundance means to
you. Go ahead … the simple act of thinking about it will instantly
improve your day.
” Abundance Is …
~ You
