My Everyday is a Winding Road

YOU KNOW YOU’RE IN SCARCITY WHEN…

Your friend at work gets a promotion and you find yourself feeling jealous, rather than happy for him.

You see a person driving an expensive car and find yourself feeling resentful or judging her.

You make purchases on credit and live beyond your means, you’re dissatisfied with what you have.

You postpone important purchases that would add dramatic value to your life, even when you have the money to make them, because you can’t stand to part with your cash.

When your spouse or child asks you to buy something, more often than not your immediate response is that you can’t afford it.

You find yourself frequently wishing for a better life, yet you think that it would be futile to strive for something better; there’s never enough time and money to do the things you want to do.

You have ideas about how to make your life better, like switching careers or starting your own business, but are afraid to put them into action.

You keep your money in “safe” investments like Time Deposits and money market accounts because you fear losing it.

You pick the riskiest investments, cross your fingers, and hope for high returns, thinking that gambling and luck is your best path to wealth.

YOU KNOW YOU’RE IN ABUNDANCE WHEN…

Your primary focus in life is to lift, serve, and bless the lives of others.

You feel happy when others succeed-even those who may viewed as your competition-and you never feel threatened by others.

You feel satisfied, complete, joyful and calm.

The purchases you make align with your core values.

Your investments are wise; you’re not naive, nor are you overly skeptical.
You perform wise, patient research and make an educated decision.

Rather than saying “I can’t afford it,” you ask, “How can I afford it?”

You consistently overcome fear, through faith and courage, to pursue your dreams and a career that aligns with your passion and purpose.

You’re able to work with others to achieve things that you couldn’t do alone.

You take responsibility for your life and your work and use your internal strength to overcome all challenges and transcend external circumstances.
