How can you develop an abundance mindset when social and economic opportunities are limited?That question is a contradiction, as I explain in the latest Danger & Play Podcast.
An abundance mindset is gratitude for what you have. A scarcity mindset is jealousy for what you do not have.
It doesn’t cost any money to build your mindset.
Spend more time alone. Become more mindful. Meditate. Free of charge.

The Dos and Don’ts of an Abundance Mindset
Do this to be more abundant.Turn off all electronic devices. Five minutes is good. Five hours is better.
Recognize that someone will always have more.
Ask what game are you playing. How do you keep score – more money, more toys, more women?
Watch a reality TV show. Study the savages who “star” in those shows. Ask yourself if those people are happy.
Keep a gratitude journal. What are you grateful for?
Don’t do this or you will lack abundance.
Do not read magazines. They exist to sell you ads and false narratives about the world.
Do not hang out with people who are obsessed with social status.
People who are afraid of offending others are notorious social climbers.
Vain and narcissistic people are also obsessed with status.
Do not watch television. Television exists to brainwash you.
