“Human behavior rooted in scarcity thinking is what has led us to crisis-level global warming, environmental degradation, mental-health deterioration, authoritarianism, and warfare.”
Financial Planning and Coaching can help people remove the roadblocks that trap them in scarcity.
Listen to this podcast about our old Money Scripts that trap us in scarcity thinking.
Vision: Financial planning and coaching shall be a bridge to a better world.
When we develop a healthier relationship to money, we can shift to a prosperity mindset. We can live better, be secure, have dignity, have choice, and have the time and energy to live on purpose and devote to our deepest commitments.
Social Transformation stems from Personal Transformation
The world is literally on fire and it’s because we’ve been greedy and caught in scarcity thinking. Corporations and leaders exploit people and land to turn a profit. Nations make war for power and resources.
But we individuals also contribute to the scarcity thinking - stuck in old ways of thinking and doing, old stories, dead-end jobs, wasting money and resources, competing for status, kicking the underdog, disconnecting and fighting - instead of coming together. If we stay “asleep” to our own complicity and how we are each individually contributing to the problem, these large issues will never be solved.
We can transform our relationship to scarcity. When we are stuck in scarcity mode, we are too busy surviving, grasping, and being angry and frustrated. We’re forced to make tough choices between bad options. We don’t have the bandwidth and freedom to make the best choices.
By taking responsibility to improve our personal relationship to money and prosperity, we can take a first step in “waking up.”
Breaking the cycle of greed and exploitation requires each and everyone of us becoming accountable for shifting away from scarcity mode, and becoming better stewards our personal and collective resources.
Collectively, we can make a difference. The more personal agency and freedom we have, the more we can embody prosperity principles of inclusivity, nurturance, wisdom, and empowerment.
Learning to have a consistent prosperity mindset is what will enable us to steward our communities and nations towards a culture of prosperity, where we desire to bring forth racial, economic, social, and political justice. When we embrace prosperity thinking as a culture, we will begin to embrace the principles of generosity, care, and love, and our politics will reflect these new priorities, and our economic systems will adapt to make these priorities a reality.
