Abundance or Scarcity? I’ll take abundance please!

Which would you like… Abundance or Scarcity? Uhhh… I’ll take abundance please!
I just got an email from an Article Underground member. The basic thrust of what she was asking centered around her paranoia that by posting in the Article Underground blogs that she would be revealing her niches and the keywords she was targeting and that other people would “steal them”. (her words)
Now… what’s funny was she closed with saying “I don’t want to sound paranoid”…
Well… isn’t it funny how sometimes we tell what we don’t want to be like, however we do exactly that?
She may not have wanted to come across as paranoid but that is exactly what she was.
My advice instantly shifted to trying to get her to change her perspective.
There are just some things that are not worth worrying about.
Face it – we could get hit by someone who did not stay in their lane while driving – but hey – do we really need to drive in fear that is going to happen? Being aware of the possibilities is one thing – but living with negative thoughts only brings you closer to that negative stuff.
First of all we all need to open our minds up to ALL of the possibilities and imagine that there is an infinite amount of success to go around for everyone.
I’ll spare a lecture on positive energy, but let me just say that one of the things I regularly tell myself is:
“I am surrounded by abundance” and “I intend to surround myself with abundance”.
Wayne Dyer is to be thanked for that!
Do you want abundance??? Or do you want scarcity???
If you think about scarcity – that is exactly what you will get.
The things we think about bring us closer to them in our lives. Not every time, but often enough to be serious about this.
Why focus on something bad or negative, when there are so many possibilities for good.
We all need to stop MICRO analyzing the details. We’ll get stuck if we over analyze. Too much analysis causes what I call “over analysis paralysis”.
Instead of thinking of all the reasons something might NOT work – it’s much better to go out there and just do it!
It’s all about NUMBERS. Not one keyword or one article or one niche.
There are lots of queries on search engines that we can get ranked for and pull in big traffic.
If you find this kind of discussion interesting, I suggest you read some of my articles on this area:
>>> When you change the way you look at things – the things you look at change!
>>> Stop Over Analysis Paralysis!
>>> Is Adsense Dead?
I hope you enjoy them! They have some golden nuggets in there that might help to inspire you!
Hello Mike,
Thanks for this. I like Wayne Dyer, too. I usually affirm that I’m one with the Source of everything, and that what ever my Source is like, I’m like that too.
Hello Mike,
Thanks for the great information. If you sit on the ground level, the only way you can go positively is to stand up and reach for something better.
Life is a learning process and should not grow stagnant. It is all up to you.
The desiny is yours. You create for a large part where you’re heading. What will your make over future look like? That is the question we all must ponder, like a klonk on the head.
Humble Regard.

Hi Mike,
I too choose abundance over scarcity and it does take some work.
The mind set or perspective is very important. If left to itself it tends to gravitate towards the negative or scarcity.
This observation has been made before a long time ago for example in the book Think And Grow Rich. And I can observe it in myself too.
Being positive doesn’t come naturally to most people which is why reading uplifting books like those from Wayne Dyer and posts like this one from you is very helpful.

It can be difficult to keep a positive frame of mind, but you reap the rewards. The subconscious doesn’t distinguish between what we want (abundance) or what we don’t want (scarcity), it just strives to deliver what we think about the most. SO if you keep thinking I don’t want xxx you’ll get xxx. Re-frame your though to a positive and things will turn around for you. Mother Teresa recognized this and it was why she refused to support any Anti-War rallies (because it had the word War in it), but would happily support Peace rallies.
That is food for thought, if you live in Abundance mentality, you will never be afraid.
