Do you operate from a state of lack or abundance?

I suppose it depends on different things, I usually assume I can and will get what I want. That means that sometimes I blow things off or people off and think I can just get around to it when I want it. I don't do it to be mean, but I am a bit selfish I guess. I just find it hard to focus on things outside of my view...like I have a sense of when I get to a certain point, then I'll get in touch with people or put effort into doing extra things.

But then sometimes what happens is that by the time I've gotten around to that thing or person, they're not available or the offer is not valid anymore.

Does this happen to you? And if you set your mind to something and it doesn't happen when you want it to, do you completely let it go, do you keep trying to work on it or do you settle for second-best?

 

Wow. I think I know what you mean but I'm not sure I'd make a lack or abundance comparison out of it.

My brain is tired for the day though.

 

Yeah...well I was thinking of it as 'am I assuming everything I want will always be there' or somehow I'll be able to get everything I want...or with other things, do I have the idea that there is very little of what I want and I'd better snatch it up before there are none left...

Also, I'm tired too, I'm surprised the OP makes sense at all.

 

I get you...but I'm probably too tired to explain my understanding of it, lol!

 

I think I get that you mean abundance vs. lack is not related to getting what you want or having people or things available to you when you want them...but, what I'm saying is from my perspective, from the way I approach certain subjects or topics in my life, I give precedent to things that I feel will be available in abundance and maybe I'm doing that with the wrong things.

 

Or more like I give precedent to things I feel are lacking...I'm really not sure right now. Maybe this really is just a completely illogical assessment altogether.

 

Right...Like the saying "Strike while the iron is hot!".

 

Yes...I suppose. I guess it's interesting to consider which things I strike while it's hot and which things I let get cold or strike while cold...hahahaha, this is getting to be too much. It'd make a good journal entry if I could be bothered to journal.

 

Usedtobehoney, do you mean that you kind of take things for granted because you normally have things available to you, so you overlook things until you feel like getting around to them, but then when you get around to them, it is to late?

 

That is basically what I mean wcw. I take things for granted because I feel like there are so many things to focus on and I can't prioritize everything. I wouldn't say it's always too late when I get around to things, but it's just different when I return to things and it's been sitting there neglected for awhile. It's as if I expect things to be just the way I left them and then it's somewhat shocking when they're not even remotely the same when I go back to them.

 

i do not operate from a state. but i do observe reality as an infinite diversity, which i attempt to avoid the error of narrowing by self deception.

 

i operate from ohio. so i guess that would be lack.
