The opposite of a scarcity mentality is an abundancy mentality.
With an abundancy mentality we say: "There is enough for everyone, more than enough: food, knowledge, love ... everything."
With this mind-set we give away whatever we have, to whomever we meet.
When we see hungry people we give them food.
When we meet ignorant people we share our knowledge; when we encounter people in need of love, we offer them friendship and affection and hospitality and introduce them to our family and friends.
When we live with this mind-set, we will see the miracle that what we give away multiplies: food, knowledge, love ... everything.
There will even be many leftovers.
‑ Henri Nouwen
