Change your Thinking

"Rather than feeling you need to do and experience everything now, accept that you can grasp some opportunities now and save some for later."

There's a difference between "scarcity thinking" and "abundance thinking".

Scarcity Thinking involves:
  • an idea that there isn't enough to go around
Abundance Thinking involves:
  • always trusting that there is plenty
I think that most of us are a little bit of both thinkers...I know that I tend to lean more toward the scarcity thinking concept. I find myself needing to do things right away with fear of them not being around later. Fearing that I will miss some type of opportunity if I don't "get on it" right away.

Our thinking must change from:
  • If not now, when? to If not now, later.
  • If I pass this up, it may never come again. to If it doesn't come up again, it wasn't meant to be.
Jesus reminds us in Ecclesiastes that there is a time for everything. I know that it is hard to comprehend, and even believe, at times but God always keeps His promises! It is important to remember this and to keep in mind that He will provide and He will help you to balance your thinking and your life!

"Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"
           Matthew 6:27
