Understanding Abundance and Scarcity
Abundance and scarcity are two contrasting feelings that affect our lives daily, influencing our emotions and perspectives. The feeling of abundance often manifests during the beginning of summer vacations, where time appears limitless, while scarcity sets in as the end of vacation approaches, instilling anxiety about returning to school. This emotional experience transcends material wealth, as people in different economic situations can experience these feelings differently; rich individuals may feel scarcity despite their wealth, while some with few resources may feel abundant. Recognizing that our emotions regarding abundance and scarcity do not always reflect our actual circumstances is crucial to understanding how we navigate our lives.
