A
thought by John C. Maxwell (2015-10-06) from his book, Intentional Living: Choosing a Life That Matters (p. 226). Center

I love the
word anticipation. It is to me a gift
from God in which we look into each day with God’s possibilities in
mind.

That’s one
world. John then says, “People who live
in the world of abundance think very differently. They know there’s always
more. As others scramble and try to grab their slice of pie, people with an
abundance mindset think, That’s OK. We’ll
just bake another pie.”
He goes on, “Abundance
thinking is the mindset of people of significance, and it has nothing to do
with how much they have. They may not have financial wealth. They may not live
in great situations. But whatever they have, they are willing to share because
they don’t worry about running out. They can be their brothers’ keepers,
because they believe there is more to be found, more to be created. If there
isn’t a way now, another one will be invented.”
He
continues, “What may surprise you is that two people who occupy the same space,
face the exact same circumstances, and receive the same opportunities can live
in these two different worlds. One person can be restricted by thinking in
terms of scarcity. The other can have an abundance mindset that makes nearly
anything possible. Their thinking, more than almost anything else, has an
impact on whether they live as haves or have-nots.”
So what
world are you living in today?
