Living From More Than Enough

The natural effort of every individual to better his or her own condition is more powerful than any obstacle that gets in his or her way. -- Adam Smith

Independent of any amount of resources, scarcity is an unexamined and false system of assumptions, opinions, and beliefs from which we view the world as a place where we are in constant danger of having our needs unmet.

There are three toxic myths of scarcity:

  1. There is not enough.
  2. More is better.
  3. That's just the way it is.

By buying into these myths, we lose the fullness of what we already have. It perpetuates a source of resignation instead of having a soul experience.

Instead, each day upon going to sleep, we should ask ourselves:

  1. What bounty did we get today?
  2. What do we want to celebrate about today?
