Thought of the Week: January 28

"The world is full of abundance and opportunity, but far too many people come to the fountain of life with a sieve instead of a tank car... a teaspoon instead of a steam shovel. They expect little and as a result they get little."
    ~ Ben Sweetland
Good morning !  By many external measures, Americans have tremendous abundance.  The poor in America today have more than many middle class Americans had 50 years ago; enjoying cable TV, cell phones, AC and a host of comforts that most of the world can't even imagine.  So why then do so many people possess such a pessimistic view of the world and conclude that it so full of scarcity? Why are so many people so stuck and so complacent? Why so much fear? Have you ever thought about how abundance and scarcity creep into our thinking? In this weeks video of the Best Year Possible, I discuss how this way of thinking can really derail us.
Your "Check Engine Light": Abundance or Scarcity
Check Engine Light
In part 4 of our Series: The Best Year Possible, we will examine the first of three ways of thinking that are indicators we are veering off course. Learn how to detect this warning sign in your thinking before you end up where you don't want to be.
The Book you MUST read THIS YEAR
Contrary to opinion of modern news programming, the world is getting better.  This book should change the mind of any reasonable, thinking person who has embraced the worlds pessimism. You will be amazed at just how far things have come even in the last 20 years, and how it is possible to solve what used to be considered unsolvable problems. Imagine what can change if we began to possess hope.
Abundance
16 minutes that will alter your worldview- I hope.
See the TED talk
If you won't read the above book, at least watch this video. Watch Peter Diamandis give a tremendous talk on TED.  You need a counter weight to the news you will watch later.  If you are not aware of TED.com, let me introduce you now.
