When you have a scarcity mindset, you find it reasonable to hold on to what little you have. Because you think that giving away means having less.
However, there’s a paradox that comes with generosity. That the more you give, the more you receive.
From my previous post, I explained how generosity compounds. And the amazing thing about living a generous life is that you are remembered for your generosity. Because admit it or not, we remember generosity.
So, if you are tempted to isolate yourself out of the fear that sharing with others what you know diminishes your worth, here’s something from The Practice: Shipping Creative Work:
A scarcity mindset simply creates more scarcity, because you’re isolating yourself from the circle of people who can cheer you on and challenge you to produce more. Instead, we can adopt a mindset of abundance. We can choose to realize that creativity is contagious–if you and I are exchanging our best work, our best work gets better. Abundance multiplies. Scarcity subtracts. A vibrant culture creates more than it takes.
