The opposite of a scarcity
mentality is an abundancy mentality. With an abundancy mentality we
say: "There is enough for everyone, more than enough: food, knowledge,
love ... everything." With this mind-set we give away whatever we
have, to whomever we meet. When we see hungry people we give them
food. When we meet ignorant people we share our knowledge; when we
encounter people in need of love, we offer them friendship and affection
and hospitality and introduce them to our family and friends.
When we live with this
mind-set, we will see the miracle that what we give away multiplies:
food, knowledge, love ... everything. There will even be many
leftovers.
Henri Nouwen
