Post Abundance Mentality

Hi,

Please could someone, in lay man's terms, explain what the expression "abundance mentality" means?

Abundance mentality is the attitude that you can get a girl any time you want, and so you don't regard any particular girl as special. You have an 'abundance' of possibilities.

It's a generally held view that men who have this attitude do better with women as they don't seem needy.

Or maybe a bit better said (IMO)... you have the attitude that any girl you want you can get, so they are ALL special!

It is not about judging others, it is more about allowing yourself to know that you can do and be anything you want. There is nothing and nobody out of your liege.

Abundance mentality means there's more than enough of the good stuff in life, be it women, friendship, creativity, money... that it if you are aware of this, and expect to get all the good stuff, then the good stuff will flow, and that you are entitled to as much of it as you can handle, with no strings attached.

Question How about those who live in poverty stricken areas?

Thanks for responding.

I have a problem with your line of reasoning though -> people in third world countries that lack basic amenities. Are you saying it's their mentality that causes their lack?

Your answers to that are on the Intention Manifestation section of this website.

I like the concept of having an abundance mentality for areas where it makes sense. Things like friendship and dating, where possibilities really are endless.. even if most people don't consciously realise it. Once you see that you can make new friends quickly you'll be less likely to stick around with people who bring you down, for instance.

No amount of abundance mentality, however, is going to get you water if you live in a drought stricken area in Africa.

Part of abundance mentality is that life is full of possibilities. (provided you have the basic means for survival) and so opportunities are everywhere it's just we're too in our own confined interpretation of the world to realise that all these possibilities are out there.

does that make sense?
