Why the More We Want Something, the Harder It Gets? 🫣

Why a Scarcity Mindset Makes Abundance Harder to See

Hi Reader,

Have you ever wanted something so badly that it became almost impossible to think about anything else?

Maybe it was money, a new opportunity, or finally getting to where you want to be in life.

I’ve experienced this myself....in several areas of my life. But the most striking one was my pursuit of the "ideal body" during my youth. It took me over 20 years (Does it really need to take that long?).

That experience taught me something fascinating about what happens when we become so focused on what we don’t have: we can end up overlooking possibilities that might help us move forward.

That’s the psychology of scarcity.

But there’s another layer to this that connects with something Neville Goddard taught about manifestation.

It’s not just about what you want. It’s also about who you believe yourself to be. You might be trying to create a new reality while still seeing yourself through the lens of your old identity.

And that’s where these two ideas meet.

In my new video, I explore the psychology of scarcity and how our attention can become trapped by what we fear losing or believe we lack.

I’d love for you to watch it and reflect on this question:

What is this thought making impossible for me to see?

Sometimes, the shift doesn’t begin with trying harder to get what you want. It begins with becoming aware of the inner story we’re living from.

Sending you abundance.😉

Namaste,
