We have all heard about the scarcity mindset, but why does it come about? Many times, it has to do with our upbringing and what we learned as young people. But regardless of why, it creates in us a fear of not having enough. Last week, I was without power at my house and it made me feel a bit of scarcity for myself. It gave me some insight into why folks who have "way too much stuff" have way too much stuff. They likely have lived without the things they needed and now live in the fear of scarcity. It is good to be prepared but not to the point of creating the very thing we fear for ourselves.
