I’ve recently found myself reflecting more and more on abundance thinking versus scarcity thinking.

I came across this awesome chart from Aaron Endré this morning that breaks down the differences between the two:

In abundance, we thrive. In scarcity, we rot.

It’s so important to live with a mindset of abundance rather than rotting in the valley of scarcity.

This world is bigger than we think it is, more broken than we could ever imagine, and in need of more love than we could ever give.

But that means our capacity to make a difference is greater than ever before.

How will you give freely today?

I’m interested to hear your thoughts on abundance thinking versus scarcity thinking. How has a mindset of abundance helped you in your endeavors? Have you been negatively affected by someone’s mindset of scarcity?

Please respond to this story + let me know!
