People with a scarcity mindset are often afraid of losing the good things in their life. They may be afraid of losing their job, relationships, and friends. That constant fear can lead to anxiety and depression. If you live with an abundance mindset, you believe that even if you lost your job, you could easily find another one. If you got a divorce, you could still find love again. And you have trust that your friends have got your back. We are not saying to stop caring about fostering those relationships. But releasing this fear helps you enjoy the moment with your loved ones a lot more.
The next time you feel afraid to do something, ask yourself, “What’s the worst that could happen?” Prepare yourself for worst-case-scenario and move forward. Once you take a risk and succeed once, you’ll begin to see how exciting that is. And once you fail and realize the world did not end, you’ll realize it’s not scary at all.
