The advantages of an abundance mindset
114: My favorite mentality tool
We’ll cover markets this week with a few other posts but a quick detour given the number of DMs we have had on the topic.
There’s a lot of material out on the web and in circulation about how to improve your life.
We wrote an in depth piece on 10 ways to improve your life but didn’t focus on the concept of abundance mentality. An abundance mentality or abundance mindset as it’s known in some literature and corners of the web, is a way of approaching life by acknowledging that there is an abundance of everything in this world including chance, resources, relationships, wealth to be had, adventures to be had, and opportunities to seize.
I can’t exactly remember when I first stumbled upon this concept, perhaps it was after my first girlfriend, my first job I left, or some other life challenge I got through but throughout my journey on this rock in space I have formed an aggressive abundance based mindset — abundance has been spoken in about by the stoics, in internet red pill dogma and in PUA pick u artist circles throughout the web.
Tony Robbins even speaks about abundance frequently in his speeches.
Abundance mentality is the opposite of a scarcity mentality — in which someone thinks that there are limitations to their life, they approach most ventures with a negative attitude and a victim mentality.
Having and implementing this mentality will drastically change your life if you commit to it.
Given my audience is primarily young men — this piece will be geared towards how men can apply abundance mentality and mindsets to their lives to see success and great results in a. number of fields.
That’s not to say this can’t be helpful to women as well, but wanted to at least mention that before we dive in.
So many men these days suffer from neediness and insecurity which ends up holding them back from achieving the things they want in this life.
So who should practice abundance mentality/mindset?
People who know they are meant to do more with their life
People restless in their current position, job, or relationship
People who are dating and trying to find a good match/partner
People who are in sales, business, trading, and other professions with targets/goals/revenue KPIs
Anyone who feels they could be more confident and bolder in life
The good news is — most anyone can benefit from implementing the concepts surrounding having an abundance mindset vs. someone who views life through a lens of scarcity.
Some of the benefits of abundance mindset include:
More confidence (not the fake kind, true confidence)
Life typically presents you more opportunities if you use this mantra
People will view you differently — see you as someone with more value
Ironically by practicing abundance you will make more money, have more sales, and find new business opportunities
Dating and relationships will become more fulfilling and you’ll waste less time with shitty people
Financially, with trading and investing, you’ll likely see better results and have a healthier relationship with money
The goal with this post is to give you the examples an d tools required to make positive changes and tweaks to your life. If implemented consistently you’ll notice you start to view the world and everything that happens to you in a different light — a light that shows you opportunities are virtually limitless.
You can accept the state of the world but combat it with the proper mindset and principles.
When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself - the people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous and surly. They are like this because they cannot tell good from evil.
