Deep dives

Overcoming a Survival Mindset

Many individuals are often trapped in a survival mindset, focusing solely on meeting basic needs rather than building a life of abundance. This mindset stems from early life experiences where scarcity was a prevalent theme. The transition to abundance requires a change in perspective, encouraging individuals to pursue aspirations that extend beyond mere survival. Acknowledging the need to serve a greater purpose or make a positive impact can be the catalyst for this transformation.
