"spirituality" videos - Part II

Discussion in 'Chit Chat' started by smallStops, May 1, 2013.

  1. interesting to read how the mind can shift into 'scarcity mindset', aka 'scare -mindset', aka 'fear-based mindset'. Never really thought of that before.


    I find it amazing that if not for trading, I would have never learned so much about psychology/spirituality. Now, I am learning how to totally remove this blockage of totally, fully accepting trading profits, when some people could say they are disproportionate to "efforts". But now, I am starting to understand that there are some activities where when the goods come, they come in floods , as long as 'I do not stand in the way' of this good flooding.

  3. Last few days, I have had the chance to listen very well to two people with psychological barriers and spiritual barriers for the other. I am very astonished that
    I was able to help one understand that it was time for him to go and see a psy instead of drinking his pain of being the result of a couple based on the 'wrong reasons'. Real eye opener to see the consequences 30 years later of greed and intimacy. Then the other was about getting her to shift her mindset from scarcit in the job market to the mindset of a 'producer'.
    Now, I can see things as my coach explains : when you ae trading, just see the profits as a good payments for all these free coaching you are providing. Obviously looking to the profits in this way, makes me see that the money is simply a very good payments for good service rendered to people who need it.
    I am also noticing that I actually gave freely of my time - around 12 hours - but now I am here all relaxed waiting little trades to do what they have to do, and I have plenty of time, while reading about scarcity mentality.

  4. The other interesting bit was to meet Peace Corps Volunteers on various programs.
    I am just so amazed to see how much these are doing , from running HIV prevention programs, to organizing conferences to boost business entrepreneurship, etc...
    I was just so amazed. Obviously I'll make some time to join a group on a mission of healthy eating 'training' lol. They are so imaginative. I guess that is the beauty of trading : free time, freedom and ... $$$$$. My difficult part is still to accept these $$$$. I really can't understand why till today, I still feel uncomfortable about these.

  5. Now looking to the $$$$ from trading as just a gift is OK.
    It is like a caricature from a marketing brochure for the trader to be lazing around trading... but is it ? :) .

  6. I did stop lately my free gifting of money while running, and I realise this was a mistake. It is about changing the mindset around money. I need to get back into that.

  7. Scarcity Mindset has to be compared to Abundance Mindset.
    Not a very easy concept to understand so here are some pictures :
    abundance or scarcity ?

    http://www.boxtheorygold.com/blog/b...r-Do-You-Have-a-Scarcity-or-Abundance-Mindset

    Do you have a scarcity OR an abundance mindset?

    '.... difficult economic times. ... lean business operation—cost conscious and careful with financial resources.
    a mindset of “scarcity” ... harmful ... mindset of “abundance” ....more prosperous times. Let me explain. "


    The Scarcity Mindset
    - sees winners and losers
    - dog eat dog world : see that there is limited supply, so if one gets , one gets less.
    - think that thi will allow them to be more secure, propsperou and happy
    - midnset to protect what they have worked had to accumulate

    The Abundance Mindset
    - see things in win-win
    - see unlimited resources
    - there is plenty to go around
    - if others are doing well, I win as well

    The Scarcity Organisation
    ...

    The Abundance Organisation

    - zig ziglar “You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want." ( so true)


    .....

    Table


    Abundance
    More than enough resources to go around
    vs Scarcity (Not enough resources to go around)

  8. outcome of abundance or value-oriented mindset : maximum utilization and development of people.
    Ourocme of the scarcity or ost-oriented mindset : maximum control of people.

    Brian Tracy :


    “We live in an abundant universe in which there is sufficient money for all who really want it and I are willing to obey the laws governing its acquisition.”


    Even true in trading :
    -respect var risk ( law governing good trading ) :D :D :D : took me time to accept...

    I am thinking that JFK Kennedy legacy will certainly be the Peace Corps. :)

  10. Met some volunteers here - they are just finishing their 2 years program. Discussing with them is a real eye opener for me on how the experience has 'improved' them. :cool:
