Abundance theory in practice
Stay tuned for a special announcement at the end of this post!!
Recently, I was enjoying time with my granddaughter as we engaged in a few games of the junior version of Monopoly. She is such a pleasure to spend time with but that isn’t the object of this post. As we played (by the way she trounced me three games to one!) the concept of Abundance Mentality came to mind. Dr. Stephen Covey speaks about this concept when he addresses his 4th Habit – Think Win-Win.
Now the junior version of Monopoly is much shorter than the marathon Monopoly games I played as a youth. As we traveled around and around the board, buying properties, paying rents and collecting rents as we went to enhance our wealth, it came to mind how easy it is for us to enjoy the thrill of success – receiving rent money – and the anguish of loss – paying out to the other person. We vascillated between Abundance and Scarcity as each of us passed GO! My monopoly dollars came and went as did hers, until finally one of us was out of money!
The scenario of this game is aligned with a Win-Lose mentality but what came to mind is how we react to the ebb and flow of abundance and loss. How we react when dreams are achieved and hopes dashed. How some people have big dreams – owning the board – while others DREAM BIG and plot a course of success as opportunites come to us.
We all have big dreams – owning Park Place or Boardwalk – which may come about but only with the right throw of the dice and being in the right place at the right time – a task that is not easy to arrange when we let someone, or something else – the dice, control our goals.
While most people have big dreams, others DREAM BIG and identify opportunities for personal fulfillment and success. Planning, exploiting opportunities along the way, setting little goals to acheive bigger ones and measuring out successes step by step will put us on a track of success. We may not have the Boardwalks, Park Places, railroads and utilities but we can enjoy still enjoy an abundance of personal wealth.
How do you approach a state of Abundance or the state of Scarcity? What goes into your planning to realize greater self-fullment, productivity, goals and dreams?
