So I've found myself more and more, you know, pretty much inadvertently pulled into this area of advising people and coaching people and starting things and starting businesses.

And one thing that I've really noticed recently just the past six months as I've gotten really into this is there's this weird thing about scarcity thinking

Right this this idea that there's not enough there there's not enough time, not enough money, not enough

resources, not enough experience, as opposed to an abundance mindset, which is, you know,

there are so many opportunities and resources everywhere you look.

And what I've noticed is this weird thing where,

like the way scarcity thinking works

is we assume anything that's scarce is valuable,

and we assume that anything that's scarce is valuable. And we assume that anything that's abundant is not valuable.

Right, so it's the basic way that our mind operates.

If you have little bread, you go, oh, bread is really, really valuable valuable if you have little money oh money is the

thing whereas if you have something abundant you don't think much of it right if there were

gold coins scattered out on the street everywhere we would go oh you know

gold coins no big deal.

But the effect that this weird, it's almost like a mental heuristic or something,

is that the very resources that people have in abundance they think are not worth

very much.
