Where Abundance comes from, by David Kane of Raptitude.com

Everyone who was once a school kid knows the two different phases of summer holidays.

Waking up on the first Monday of summer holidays is a feeling of unparalleled abundance.

School seems light years away.

It really feels like you have a limited time.

This feeling continues until one morning in August when you look at the calendar and have the opposite

feeling because there are only 10 days left before school starts.

These two feelings, abundance and scarcity, are ever-present forces in our lives.

Often whole weeks or months or even years take the general tone of one or the other.

But we also swing back and forth between them throughout each day.

You look at the clock, expecting it to be six something and it's 748 a feeling of scarcity descends immediately

you remember this coming Monday is a holiday a whoosh of abundance

you arrive at the show there's a huge lineup for tickets.

Your girlfriend says she doesn't want fries,

but we'll have some of yours.

Scarcity.
