Developing an Abundance Mindset
As dream builders we are not concerned with the success, or failure, of others. We can certainly learn from others, but we run our own race. We live our own life. Our only competition is ourselves.
The goal is to become as free as possible. Free from false limitations. Free from choosing unempowering thoughts. Free from jealousy and comparison.
Recognize Jealousy
One of the ways we can reject jealous thoughts is to tap into a deep inner sense of a personal calling. If we have a personal calling we have access to all the resources we need to live out our calling. Therefore, why be jealous of anyone? It is infinitely better to be free from jealousy. Freedom is empowering.
If jealousy creeps in, it is good to simply remind ourselves that we are free, and have no desire to join the jealous club.
Resist Comparison
Comparison is just another form of jealousy. Sometimes we wish we were more talented. Sometimes we wish it wasn't so hard to achieve the results we want. It looks easy for others. Some people achieve what we want in a shorter amount of time. So what. That's none of our business. We are neither ahead nor behind anyone. We have our own timeline.
As long as we are exercising our talents to whatever degree we can, we will grow. This is a choice, a wise choice I believe.
We are just fine the way we are. And not only are we fine, each day we're getting better.
Finally
Removing jealousy and comparison from our thinking is the twenty percent that gives us eighty percent of the results. Practice this, and we build an empowering mindset that can recognize other forms of thought that may attempt to limit our freedom.
If we can be happy with the success of others, then it's a clear sign that we have an abundance mindset. If we catch ourselves feeling jealous or comparing ourselves to others, remember it is infinitely better to be free than join the jealous club.
Hold firm to your belief in your own personal calling and purpose. No one was left out when it comes to the ability to make a positive difference. We all have strengths and talents. No eloquent arguments or debates are needed to justify our beliefs. Belief is a choice.
Avoid the temptation to direct what is beyond our control. Allow people to be themselves. We have our own life, our own calling, our own talents. We have plenty to do!
An abundance mindset is freedom. Freedom from jealousy, competition, and false limits. Freedom to be, freedom to create, and freedom to express the light we have. Nothing holds us back. This is the life we enjoy. Freedom to live a great life.
To your success!
