People who live in scarcity may make decisions based out of fear. Even if they get an opportunity, they take it because they think this is their one and only chance to accomplish that thing. For example, maybe they jump at the first job offer they get because they’re afraid of being unemployed for too long.

People with an abundance mindset know that there’ll always be more to come their way in the future as long as they are still doing everything they can to accomplish their goals. So they can be a bit more mindful of making sure they choose the right opportunities instead of getting distracted with something that’s not a good fit.
