Abundance Mindset: How to Shift Your Focus and Attract More

All right, welcome back to the Daily Mastermind, George Wright III with your daily dose of inspiration, motivation, and education. Let's go ahead and get your week started out with the quote of the day from George Shin. And the quote is, growth means change and change involves risks, stepping from the known to the unknown. Growth means change and change involves risks. The question really becomes, are you taking risks? Are you doing what it takes to create your best life? Or are you just living inside your comfort zone? That's something to think about. Well, today I want to talk to you about, and I'm going to get your week started, with this idea of abundance as a mindset. See, you know, abundance is something we hear a lot about these days. In fact, I'm just out of town this week. I'm down in Las Vegas. And I've been listening to several things, been catching up a little bit. You try to disconnect from the day-to-day once in a while so that you can raise your awareness and your creativity around what it is you're trying to create. It's been a common theme, a common message that I've heard and I've seen through a lot of different things that I subscribe to. Abundance is something that's super, super important. However, it's definitely much easier said than done. So many times we ask ourselves, are we thinking abundantly? How many times do you feel like you're being positive, but life still just doesn't seem to be going your way? And over time, I've realized that there's a real difference between positivity and abundant thinking, and that sometimes we really just don't understand what it is that we're creating in our life, even when we're trying to be conscious of it. I think it's super important in both your business and your life to recognize what it really takes to become an abundant thinker. Otherwise, we're living in this perpetual state of grind and working towards the future that is never arriving, even though we've got a great attitude. And so I wanted to talk to you today about this abundant thinking and how it really boils down to you living in a state of creativity and vision for your future or your focus on your future greatness. The greatness that we're all capable of attaining. because when you can live focusing your attention on the future greatness that you already have now, but the vision of who you want to be, you're going to attract these things that you need in order to continually evolve into that state. So one of the keys is that when you focus on your current limitations and your circumstances and dealing with what you're currently dealing with, it's truly more difficult to have that law of attraction helping you in your life. And so I want to talk to you a little bit about that today. I want you to really focus on what you can do to raise your vibration, your frequency, the state that you operating in to be your future version versus just the current things that you have So let talk a little bit about this because at the end of the day I really I want you to find ways find ways that you going to be able to help to get your focus moving so that you can get more of that future version of yourself in your life. Because when you focus on that current state, like I said, your problems, your current skill level, you know, I'm only this good, I only know this much, I've got to learn more, you're getting more of what you already have. Does that make sense? When you're focused on your current circumstances, even if you take a positive approach to those circumstances, what's happening is you're going to get more and more of what you already have. Whereas when you're focused on that vision, that creativity, that vivid picture of where you're going, the greatness that you're becoming, the future version of yourself, you're going to get more and more of that in your life. It's a little counterintuitive, and so you've really got to think through it. I've had to spend a lot of time realizing in my life, in my career, that focusing on all the positive things, the gratitude, the positivity of what you currently have is good. It's a good state that it could put you in, but it's also keeping your focus where you are rather than where you're going. And so that idea that Ed Milet talks about with blissful dissatisfaction is no joke. You have to be happy, you know, and satisfied with who you are and what you're doing, but you always have to have your focus moving towards a future that is something you want to attract into your life. You know, too many of us argue for our limitations. Too many of us are so excited about wrestling down a problem that we currently have just to take care of it and overcome it. When we look up afterwards and we realize that the problem that we just solved is just still keeping us in the current moment. So too many of us are focused on our current problems, and this is why we don't have that abundance in our life. You fight so hard to solve the problems you currently have that you're missing the big picture, and that's the part I love. That's what, you know, Wayne Dyer talks about when he says, when you step back, you know, as life goes on and you step back and look at the tapestry of your life, you can see what there is that you've learned, but you've still got to keep yourself focused on the future. And you can't create abundance from scarcity. So we got to start first off by just asking you, where are your thoughts right now? Where are your thoughts going every day? Analyze what your thoughts are about. Analyze what you're focused on. Analyze where it is that you are putting most of your energy, because scarcity manipulates you at times. Scarcity will make you think you're making progress when really all you're doing is focused on what you don't want. And you've got to learn to break that cycle. You've got to learn to recognize that being positive about problems you're dealing with are still keeping you focused on the problems. What you have to learn to do is create that abundance. And abundance comes from focusing on solutions not problems Abundance comes from focusing on your future greatness and living it today as opposed to solutions to just problems you dealing with today So there some subtleties there but I want you to really explore what it is you can do to maintain the abundance that can attract you into the life that you want to have. And you've got to have obviously the key with that is you've got to have clarity on where you're looking. And you know I had somebody the other day talked to me about the difficulty of dealing with situations and I said to him I said the clearer you are about the future vision or version of yourself that you want to have in your life the less those short-term problems will bother you the reason short-term problems bother us more is because we don't have a vision bigger than the situation and so as Dyer talks about when you look back on the tapestry of your life and you have perspective which sometimes you can only have in hindsight, that perspective is going to help you to realize that you gave it far too much in the moment. Does that make sense? So what do you need to do in order to truly start to create the abundance in your life? Well, the first thing you have to do is you have to understand the difference between faith and belief. Beliefs are things that you're going to create through your experience, but faith is a decision. Faith in your future self, faith in your ability, and this is the key, your ability to handle situations. Because you can have faith in where you're going. You can have faith in what you're doing. You can have faith in your abilities, even if your beliefs have not caught up yet. So there's, you know, faith is there, is basically knowing that there's enough. And I want you to ask yourself from an abundance standpoint, do you believe there's enough? Or do you feel like, you know, it's difficult to be able to do things, that only certain people get certain, you know, lucky breaks. Because in order to have an abundant mindset, you have to just make the decision that you believe there's enough for you and that you are going to accomplish what you want to do, that you do have the greatness that's growing inside of you. And you have to have faith that you deserve, faith that you deserve to have the abundance. Because if you don't, those are those subconscious beliefs that are going to hold you back. Those are those limiting beliefs that are going to keep you from moving forward. So sometimes in order to recognize how you can move forward with abundance and an abundant mindset, you've got to recognize what limiting beliefs are holding you back from doing that. Maybe your beliefs that you've learned or you've had through your experiences in life and business and relationships are the things that are holding you back from being abundant. So really recognize that. Really recognize that it's time for you to do things that through a decision you've decided are going to be abundant for you. So there are ways that you can do this with affirmations, with gratitude. Make statements as to you and your confidence and your belief. I am this future version of myself I am a successful business person I am a great communicator Whatever it is the leadership position you want to have Find affirmations We not going to get deep into those today but find affirmations that you can continue to repeat to yourself so that through repetition and frequency, you can begin to believe and program your subconscious mind as well as your mind. Your mind is a tool that you have to train to work in your benefit. And then the other thing I want to suggest to you is to prepare your responses to situations before they happen. You know things are going to come up where you suffer setbacks. You've got to train and be prepared for when that happens. Maybe you have on ready access powerful, uplifting, motivating music, or you have pictures, or you journal entry, or just know how you're going to respond to challenges when they arise. Because when you're prepared for situations as they arise, then your energy and focus doesn't have to go towards that situation. You'll just by default through discipline be able to deal with it. When you can deal with things quicker because you're prepared, you're not going to be distracted. And that's a super, super important thing. And then the last thing I want to recommend is that you really learn to practice this idea of gratitude. Because gratitude is going to be your secret weapon in keeping you positive. When you're dealing with situations, when you're dealing with problems, when you're dealing with opportunities in disguise, then you can practice gratitude. Because gratitude is an abundant mindset. Gratitude is the ability for you to recognize what is and can be and your appreciation level. And it puts you in that same vibrational state that you'll need in order to have more. If you're not grateful for what you have, it's doubtful you're going to have more. So that's one of the things maybe I'd like you to do this week is just think through and maybe make it a practice each day to write down just a couple things you're grateful for. It's a break from your normal day-to-day grind. What are you thankful for? Write it down. Program your mind to see the positive. And learn this week. Just find different ways that you can find more of an abundant mindset throughout your week. Because if you're going to be working hard, the best thing you could do is also train your mind, your subconscious mind, your surroundings, the people you surround yourself to be more abundant thinking and have that other influence be able to attract things into your life. So that's my message for today. Let's learn to really create that abundant mindset by continuing to focus on the future. And do me a favor. Share this show. I'd really appreciate it. mean the world to me, but I know that there are others that can really benefit from the type of information we're learning and growing as well. That's my message for today. I hope you have an amazing day. Once again, this has been The Daily Mastermind. Talk to you soon. Thank you.
