Traits of an Attitude of Abundance

Having an abundance mindset for some people is not that easy. Most people are trained their whole life in the idea of scarcity. We learn about scarcity from our early days in school regarding natural resources, food, and money. The thing is, while that might seem true, the opposite is true if you just know what to do to make it so. 

Ability to Engage in Big Picture Thinking 

Setting audacious goals for your life, whether for work, business, or personal, is a key trait for those with abundant mindsets. They know how to break down the big hairy goal into small actionable steps that ensure success. 

Believes in Abundance Over Scarcity 

If you don’t believe that abundance is waiting for you in all aspects of your life, it will stunt your ability to get it. One way to gain an abundant mindset is to find positive stories of people who have accomplished what you want to do. 

Focuses on Happiness Over Resentment 

Everyone has bad things happen to them in life the difference for those with a mindset of abundance is that they focus on the happy parts rather than focusing on the resentment that can develop in life too. 

Embraces Change Over Fear of Change

Most people say they really don’t like change very much. But what someone does with an attitude of abundance is accept and even embrace change instead of succumbing to the fear of change. 

Sets Out to Be Proactive Instead of Reactive

One way to be more positive as well as practice your abundance mindset is to be proactive instead of reactive. That means that if you know something is happening in the future, you plan for it instead of just letting it happen. 

Nurtures A Lifelong Learning Mindset 

A person who thinks with abundance knows that they don’t know everything. They like to research and learn new things. If you want to increase your ability to think abundantly learn more about the topic that you’re unsure about. 

Focuses on What is Working Over What is Not Working

Sometimes you create plans that don’t seem to be working out, but something always works even when it’s not entirely right. Focusing more on what works, and less on what doesn’t is another way to be more abundantly minded. 

If you want to have an attitude of abundance, all you must do is look at reality. Look for stories of overcoming anything. When you see that one person has done it, then you know that you can too if you make the right plans and implement the right action to get you there.
