Abundant Thinking - Achieving the Rich-Dad Mindset

I n t r o d u c t i o n
Abundant thinking is a form of positive thinking. It is about creating a mindset of
positive values that allow you to perceive your life as one of abundance,
not one of deficit. It teaches you to flip your mental attitude coin from
negative to positive and appreciate how much you have in your life to be
grateful for.
However, it does not suggest that our gratitude should cause us to stop striving
for more and just accept our lot in life; rather it teaches quite the opposite: that
by acknowledging how abundant our lives are already, our minds will
embrace the concept that the good things in life are potentially unlimited.
Abundant means to be richly supplied; to be over-supplied. This means that we
should have no fear of asking for more because we can be confident in its delivery.
Abundance is a store that never runs out of its goods.
Abundant thinking is not just concerned with money, although there is a
strong financial aspect that can be applied; it is a life philosophy. Where
money is the issue, it is viewed as a tool that allows a better quality of life to be
achieved - not just the material aspects, but most crucially the freedom to spend
time doing the things that matter with the people that matter.
Similarly, being a rich dad, or a rich mum, may not relate to money at all. It can
even negate the willful drive for extra finances, especially where that works against
the more important aspects of life, such as love and family. We all know of rich,
unhappy people. We read about them every day in the
newspapers and see them on the television; people who have a clear
abundance of finances but who are bereft emotionally.
Abundant thinking is all about changing how you view your personal
circumstances so that you can change how you view the world at large. It is
realizing that you have been the cause of your sadness and struggle in life
through your focus on what you don’t have, rather than on what you do have.
