Hi my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

What's an abundance mindset?

An abundance mindset is the belief that there is nothing truly scarce.

So we grew up as a human species in scarcity and our physiology and our

physiology and our the way our brain is wired for scarcity and so an abundance

mindset I'll give you two simple examples and then go into more detail here.

If I have an orange tree, I'm 5-5, I grab the oranges from the lowest hanging branches,

all of a sudden orange tree, oranges are scarce again.

Until I invent a piece of technology called a ladder that gives me higher reach,

now I've got axe to oranges again.

If you've got a pie and you've got you know

a family of four coming over for dinner but then all your neighbors here about and

they all come for dinner you have to slice the pie in a thinner and

thinner slices and an abundance mind says like bullshit we're going to go bake more

pies. Right. Right. So the realization is technology is turning whatever

used to be scarce into abundance. Another great example.

We used to go kill whales on the ocean to get whale oil to light our nights, right?

Then we ravaged the mountainsides to get cold and we drilled

kilometers in the ocean ground to get oil and now we're living on a planet

that has 8,000 times more energy from the sun than we consume as a species in a year.

8,000 times.

2022 is the first year that will have more electricity added to the grid from solar than any other form.
