Introduction
Abundant thinking is a form of positive thinking. It is about creating a mindset of positive values that allow you to perceive your life as one of abundance, not one of scarcity3fear3lack. It teaches you to flip your mental attitude coin from negative to positive and appreciate how much you have in your life to be grateful for. .owever, it does not suggest that our gratitude should cause us to stop striving for more and 4ust accept our lot in life5 rather it teaches quite the opposite6 that by acknowledging how abundant our lives are already, our minds will embrace the concept that the good things in life are potentially unlimited when we allow them to be. Abundance means to be richly supplied5 to be over7supplied. This means that we should have no fear of asking for more because we can be confident in its delivery. Abundance is a store that never runs out of its goods. Abundant thinking is not 4ust concerned with money, although there is a strong financial aspect that can be applied5 it is a life philosophy. Where money is the issue, it is viewed as a tool that allows a better quality of life to be achieved 8 not 4ust the material aspects, yet most crucially the freedom to spend time doing the things that matter with the people who matter. 9imilarly, being a rich dad, or mom, may not relate to money at all. It can even negate the willful drive for e:tra finances, especially where that works against the more important aspects of life, such as love and family. We all know of rich, unhappy people. We sometimes read about them in newspapers and see them on the television5 people who have a clear abundance of finances yet who are lacking emotionally. Abundant thinking, which I call the ;#onsciousness <f Wealth;, is all about changing how you view your personal circumstances so you can change how you view the world at large. It is reali=ing you have been the cause of your sadness and struggle in life through your focus on what you don>t have, rather than on what you do have, as well as of all the good things, through your focus on them, the same way.

If this all seems a little otherworldly, here>s an e:ample of how this might happen6 'et>s say you are looking for work, yet your attitude is there are few suitable 4obs and you>ll never find one for yourself. In other words, your attitude stinks. You are thinking negatively. This may mean you take no action to find a 4ob. You don>t compile a resume, you don>t send email inquiries, and you don>t go knocking on doors. And if by chance you did bump into the person who could give you your dream 4ob, he or she would not offer it to you because you would not be viewed as the positive individual that employer seeks. A negative attitude can therefore be self7perpetuating, as it consistently produces negative results that further reinforce that negative attitude. In contrast, with your high #onsciousness of Wealth, your results are entirely different. Abundant thinking opens up possibilities and opportunities that we could easily have missed by harboring negative thoughts and thoughts of scarcity. It causes you to take positive actions because you firmly believe and e:pect they will produce the desired results. You take as your proof for this the fact that you are already more than blessed by the abundant gifts in your life. Abundant thinking is about focusing on what you have right now, and using that to build a brighter future. It does not let you dwell in the past, regretting mistakes and ventures that did not work out e:actly as planned. Eeople who think abundantly do not suffer guilt for their desire to attain more. That is is for two reasons6 They are already grateful for what they have, and they do not feel that asking for more will deprive anyone else. Abundance means there is plenty to go around for everyone.

Abundance Motivation
A key part of abundant thinking is abundance motivation, sometimes called appreciative7assertive thinking. This is the belief that we have more than the minimum necessary to get by. It says we have more than we need, and more than we could have ever e:pected. It requires that you dispel any assumptions about what you will receive in life, be that from Bod, nature, society, parents, peers, friends, or loved ones. Again, this does not suggest we have to stop wanting more. It is simply about establishing the correct mindset. Gnowing we have more than we need makes us feel happy and grateful. We appreciate what we have, and that means whatever else we get is a bonus. Thinking you deserve more, you are owed more, or e:pecting more, leads to resentment when it doesn>t show up. You have to remember how you came into the world 8 with nothing 8 and how you will end up leaving it 8 with nothing. #reating a healthy attitude toward your e:isting abundance relies on focusing on what your minimum requirements truly are. If you have your health, enough food to eat, and a roof over your head, then you have sufficient to survive and lots to be grateful for. If you also have love in your life, you should be ecstatic. .aving any or all of these things, even at their minimum levels, still puts you far ahead of billions of people in less developed countries who struggle every day for the basic necessities of life. Ironically, many of these people will lead happier lives than those of us who have plenty. It is all about e:pectations. The world does not owe you a living. It doesn>t owe you anything. Yet neither will it deny you anything if you honestly believe its abundance is 4ust waiting for you. The key is to be realistic, and not be influenced by our modern consumerist society. #ommercials will try to convince you that you need certain items to be happy.

You must have the latest designer accessories, the best gadgets, a bigger house, a lu:ury car. You believe these messages at your peril. You do not need these things, yet it is certainly <G to want them. This is because need is defined by a feeling of lacking something. 9traight away, that means you are focusing on what you do not have. Think about the way different children around the world respond to receiving gifts. The key is not how much they actually receive, but how much they expect to receive. The toys you may throw in the trash would make some other child scream with delight. Abundant thinking may appear to be a strange and contradictory concept. It says you should be grateful for what you have, yet it is <G to want more. It says you should be aware of your minimum requirements, yet place no ma:imum limit on what you can achieve because the world can always keep on giving you more. It is <G to feel confused about this. Abundant thinking asks that you give up the bad habits of a lifetime, and those can be heavy shackles to throw off. You are not even being asked to do anything difficult, and this can be part of the problem. Anyone who has spent years struggling may find it cra=y to be told they can more quickly achieve their goals solely by altering the way they think. At the very least, abundant thinking can help set your priorities straight. You may not want much more in life that you already have, yet you also may not be genuinely enthralled by all that you do have. Abundant thinking asks that you take stock and reali=e how fortunate you really are. It can also help develop a healthier and more realistic attitude for those times in life when plans do not work out, and upsets occur. With abundant thinking, we are forced to ask the question6 CWho said I deserved any better-D &ecause you must appreciate you absolutely doHHH

What we have to remember is that abundant thinking does not guarantee anything. If we start believing abundant thinking will definitely bring us wealth and riches, or anything else we strive for, we have arrived back at e:pectations again. All you have to do is accept the good things in your life, be grateful for them, and know that if you do want more, there is an abundance out there waiting to be tapped, and it is your positive attitude that will far more readily allow you to tap it.

This creates a faster recovery from the ill7effects of mis7using your power. Abundant thinking allows the person to quickly accept life>s difficulties and move beyond them to better times. In a business environment, abundant thinking focuses on the organi=ation s strengths and what is possible, not on what may have gone wrong. This is crucial in hard times, like those many are e:periencing at the moment. "As you can imagine, people who make the %ecision to have a high #onsciousness of Wealth are immune from any mass perception of an economic ;down7turn;, because we know we are the only ones who create our fortunes.$ Iany businesses have e:perienced huge losses and difficulties, and the temptation is thus to concentrate on what was and what might have been. This type of thinking is based on scarcity3fear3lack. 'eaders who take this attitude in business can instil negativity in their workforce and therefore e:acerbate any perception of problems that already e:ist.

even more annoying. Aither way, however, the stumbling block is the same6 e:pectations. These are what cause the disappointment and unhappiness. !ecogni=ing entitlement thinking is easy. It is feeling we are in a hole and trying to climb out. It is the sense that we are constantly struggling to keep our head above water. Although these situations may seem true now, they should not become who you are. A better way to think of things is to reali=e it could be a lot worse6 the hole could be your grave that you never get out of5 and at least your head is above water and you>re not drowning. With these new interpretations, it instantly becomes apparent you have a lot to be grateful for. %eficit motivation can cause serious harm to people. It can make them aggressive and negative to be around, even with those people closest to them5 or especially so. It can provoke a reckless attitude to life, where they take dangerous and uncalculated risks. <r it can people to feel so sorry for themselves they withdraw and give up, which can lead to depression or worse. %eficit motivation can cause people to miss some truly outstanding opportunities which do not completely conform to their preconceived ideas of how their main chance will appear to them. &y the time they reali=e they may have misconstrued the situation, their window has passed. To defeat entitlement thinking, we must ask ourselves e:actly why we believe we are entitled to anything at all. Iostly, that notion is because society promotes the idea anything is possible. If you re in the ?nited 9tates, you could call that the selling of The American %ream. Yes, almost anything is possible with abundant thinking, yet we have not been schooled in the workings of abundant thinking, we have been taught we are entitled, and this has created e:pectations for handouts without giving equal or greater value. You have to separate the ideal of entitlement from the reality of what you can honestly e:pect. We all believe we have the right to life, the basic

Eerhaps we feel we are entitled to two foreign holidays twice a year, yet that>s only thanks to the Wright brothers a hundred years ago. &efore that, trips abroad were far more arduous and e:pensive affairs. 'u:uries have become necessities, and our values have changed. We no longer look at the simple things in life that used to make people grateful. 9ome people instead tend to dwell on the things they perceive are lacking. They are teaching themselves to be unhappy, and to feel they are victims of some awful fraud. %eficit thinking can even create paranoid thinking5 that we are being CrobbedD of what we deserve. 9uch people who fall into that trap can start to view other people negatively and with deep suspicion. Anyone they perceive as having the things they want becomes the enemy. They cease looking inwardly for answers and instead focus on who is to blame for their scarcity3fear3lack.

Scarcity Thinking
9carcity thinking is the opposite of abundance thinking. This happens when people focus on what they do not have in their lives. They take what they have entirely for granted, show no gratitude, and choose instead to focus their energy on being resentful at the CgapsD in their lives. Eeople who live by thoughts of scarcity are creating the very circumstances that will cause further scarcity, because they are convinced there is a shortage of the things they want in life. They do not embrace the concept of abundance, and thus do not invite it into their lives through a positive attitude. 9carcity thinking can also produce more far7reaching negative repercussions. It can cause people to take things they don>t need, or too much of what they do need. <r it can make them hoard, which stops them from giving. Those who think abundantly, on the other hand, are happy to take only what they need, because they know there is a limitless supply anytime they want more.

Conclusion
The concept of abundant thinking can be pu==ling if you do not understand the message that lies at its heart. To summari=e, abundant thinking is about being grateful for what you do have rather than focusing on what you seem to lack. It involves having no hard and fast e:pectation of what you will receive based on some egotistical notion of what you deserve out of life. Instead, it says6 &e happy with what you have because it is all effectively on loan to you while you are here, and if you want more, then take the appropriate actions to achieve more, yet remain happy in the knowledge that it may not happen as you e:pect. All this serves to produce the correct frame of mind to ultimately accept the gifts the universe has waiting for you in abundance. This is where some people may struggle, because this asks that you make a leap of faith and believe there really is an abundance out there. The only way to get around this is to reali=e that the alternative view is there isnt an abundance, and therefore you would have to live your life in scarcity. The choice about what to believe should then be clear. Think of it this way6 It>s your birthday. It>s not written in stone you are entitled to gifts, so whatever you receive is a bonus and you should be grateful. .owever, you are more likely to receive better gifts the nicer you are, and nice people tend to have positive attitudes. A negative attitude means being not so much fun to be around, thus fewer people would show up at your party and they will likely hand you their unwanted gifts from the previous #hristmas, or come empty7handed and 4ust drain your boo=e cabinet.
