Abundance Mentality

An "abundance mentality" is more than having a positive mental attitude, although a positive mental attitude is very important. When you have a positive mental attitude, you look at how things can be done rather than why they can't be done. You believe that "where there's a will there's a way." You look at possibilities and opportunities rather than obstacles and problems. This mindset is important for success in any endeavor. An abundance mentality will take you beyond a positive mental attitude. It will eliminate the small thinking and offset negative energy. It can mean the difference between success and failure, excellence and mediocrity, and prosperity and despair.... People with an abundance mentality believe there are enough resources available to accomplish their goals. They also believe that their success doesn't mean failure for others. On the contrary, the more successful they are, the more others are affected in a positive way.... Abundance starts in your mind. The more you think abundantly, the more abundance you can enjoy, the more success you will enjoy. --Ray Houze

Ray Houze is a smart guy. I have never heard the importance of that type of mentality phrased in that way. Thanks for the quote.

I couldn't agree with you more.

Keeping positive spirits and staying away from negative thoughts isn't always easy (even more so if you spend time with negative people).

The positive outcome from having a positive attitude on life is so worth the effort.
