What is scarcity?  What does it mean to have a Scarcity Consciousness? What are the tell-tale signs of operating and living from a Scarcity Consciousness?

Scarcity means there’s a PERCEIVED deficiency, shortage or absence of something.  A Scarcity Consciousness is a mindset or pattern of thinking that supports a life outlook or life perception of deficiency, shortage and “never enough.”  And this mindset often pervades all areas of your life, not just the areas  related to money and your money matters.

Now go back and count up your YESSES.  How many do you have?  If you answered YES to 4 or more of these statements, then a Scarcity Consciousness instead of a Prosperity Consciousness is most likely dominating your life.

Your journey from scarcity to prosperity begins with you waking up and bringing your current thoughts and beliefs about prosperity out of the dark and into the light so that they can be examined.  You must begin with bringing your current thoughts and beliefs out of the dark and into the light so that they will no longer be transparent and elusive to you, but can become apparent to you.  What you don’t know that you don’t know, you can’t change. But when you become aware, then you can acknowledge, and when you can acknowledge, you can begin to choose differently. And it is this process which results in change.
