The Principle of AbundanceWritten by Mandie Crawford
One of first great things I learned when starting my business, is that there are two ways of thinking. You can believe that there is more than enough business to go around or you can have scarcity mentality. Either way you believe you are probably right.The principal of abundance promotes belief that not only is there enough business to go around, and that universe has room for us all to benefit equally, but also commands us to give away what we have. This means giving referrals, ideas, assistance and any other thing you can think of to help others. It means that we build people, relationships and help others because we know and believe that somehow, some day it will all come back to us. It also promotes win-win situations. The scarcity mentality advocates holding onto whatever it is you have for fear that someone else may take it. That means holding onto your cash, your ideas, your time and your clients as tightly as you can. It means that when you find a client you do everything within your power to hold onto that client for fear that ‘competition’ might take them away. In fact people who operate under scarcity mentality often base many of their decisions on what their competition and others do. And that is operating out of fear that someone will get more than you will or will succeed before you do. I have learned that only shortages we face are in our own minds. And that more we give of our approval, our time, our smiles, our energy, our wisdom and our ideas more accepted, less stressed, happy, energetic, wise and creative we become. Building people and relationships can serve both ‘giver’ and ‘getter’. There is enough for everyone!

It sounds simple- right? You are where you THINK you are! And it is simple but do we practice it? Of course we are where we think we are! The question is where do YOU think you are? It’s a principle I talk about all time. Everything we do, we create in our minds before we do anything. The cars we drive, house we live in all began as a thought in someone’s mind. Our minds are incredible tools, machines that are efficient and creative. But did you know that all things we do, even things as simple as tying our shoes, our brain completes before we do them. It may be as simple as your brain replaying tape that tells you how to tie your shoe, that we do not notice playing in background of our consciousness. It is simple. We manifest what we think. How often have you struggled on your journey to reach a goal or a dream? Many of us spend time planning how we will achieve our ‘success’. And we trudge on, keeping our eye on goal, or reward of reaching goal. We make progress, year after year we get closer and closer. However, what we do not realize is that instead of spending so much time concentrating on what is going on around us in each small situation, we need to realize and see that what we want to become we already are. And wherever we want to go, we are already there. “I want to open a chapel where I can perform marriage ceremonies in a non-denominational setting that is serene and beautiful, and reminds people of their creator”, is what my friend told me. We talked for a while about where she wanted to be. Then I looked her right in eye and told her, “You are already there.” She looked at me at first in disbelief. She told me she could see place in her mind, she could smell it, feel breeze outside chapel. There was no doubt she had achieved visualization part. However, visualization is only part of it. What she needed to do, was to involve her belief.
