So, what do you think?

What's Your Mind-Set?
Your mind-set is your way of thinking about anything. It’s the baseline for all your thoughts. It’s from your mind-set that all your conscious and unconscious thoughts spring. Your mind-set dictates the colors and flavors of your thoughts. Your mind-set is what tells you your place in your universe. Your mind-set is happily inhabited by your ego, which, by the way, hates change.


Take a look at your mind-set.

Do you have a scarcity mind-set or an abundance mind-set? 
Do you have an illness mind-set or a health mind-set?

Someone with a scarcity mind-set sounds a lot like Daffy Duck at his most possessively manic: “It’s mine! Do you hear me? It’s all mine! Mine! MINE!” In the scarcity mindset, you create fear, desperation, depression, and anxiety. You are stuck in the rut of lack and limitation with no hope of ever digging your way out. In fact, the scarcity mind-set loves to dig deeper into your pond-scum filled reservoir of fears, frights, frets, and anxieties. 

Resembling an out-of-control hoarder on one of those reality TV shows, you keep things you think are valuable. Before you realize it, you are trapped by all that “stuff” and negative thinking. “Never can tell when you will need a piece of string, can you?” asks the scarcity mind-set. “And save that rubber band with the thousands of others in your collection,” it implores. Your scarcity mind-set believes the universe will take away everything if you don’t hang on to it.

On the other hand, a person with an abundance mind-set knows deep down that the Universe is a place of giving, not taking. An abundance mind-set sees opportunities where others may not. An abundance mind-set sees life with a long-term outlook. Your abundance mind-set knows that your life is filled with opportunities and promise. And, yes cliché fans, that glass is half full. 

What kind of mind-set do you have?   


A very basic Unity teaching principle is:
 “To change your way of life, change your way 
of thinking.”
