Cutting to The Heart of the Abundant Mindset

One of the key assumptions of limitation is to try to 'get' - get understanding, get money, get enlightenment, get the house... Limitation is therefore defined by good or bad, right or wrong, deserved or undeserved.

Why is the idea of trying to 'get' something limited? How do you feel when your motive is driven by this need to get? It's restrictive, reactive and confining. A mindset built on limitation creates feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, anger, depression, stress or misunderstanding. 

As we dissolve limitation, we're left with space - space in which to use and craft our talents. Because there's simply no sense of limit, this mindset is very fluid, flowing, soft, yet focused. 

There's a zen koan that cuts to the heart of the expansive mindset: "be still as a mountain, flow like a great river." 

Because the expansive mindset transforms resistance, it's non reactive and non judgmental. Instead it asks; "how can I participate wholeheartedly from the perspective that best utilizes my natural gifts and skills to make a difference?"
