ABSENCE OF SCARCITY EQUALS ABUNDANCE


Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2020
 
 
When we are short on time, money, and opportunities, we are usually scrambling, distraught, and not thinking clearly.
 
But when we are enjoying an abundance of blessings, isn’t that a good time to be careful not to waste time, not to spend money just because it is available, and to be poised to take advantage of a great opportunity when we see it?
 
Abundance begets abundance.
 
Scarcity has us scrambling desperately.
 
But doesn’t all abundance and all scarcity exist on this planet at the same time?
 
We all know it does – so which do we want?
 
Which should we choose?
 
Is it just that simple, as choosing to see the world of abundance available to everyone vis-à-vis seeing the world as about scarcity to be avoided?
 
We all know the answers to these questions, so why don’t we act that way?
 
When we feel we have lots of time, who thinks about lost time?
 
When we feel we have lots of money, who thinks about the money they’ve wasted?
 
When we feel we have more opportunities than we can handle, who has time to think about the ones they’ve missed?
 
Isn’t that the best time?
