And How To Strengthen Our Belief In Abundance?
The law of abundance is one of the universal laws, that states that there is an unlimited source of everything we want or need in the world. And the key to using these unlimited resources is to focus on divine energy and take the right steps to use its possibilities.
The history of these beliefs goes back to many years ago and even to some Christian and Buddhist teachings have these concepts too.
Throughout history, the concept of positivity and ideas related to the universal law of abundance have evolved and developed in various ways.
However, the concept of abundance and universal laws flourished with the New Thought movement in the United States in the 19th century, and the popularity of belief in abundance peaked after the publication of the book The Secret (by Randa Byrne) and then it’s movie. They introduced people to two of the most important global laws and claimed that everyone can benefit from them. (Read this book to see how much our beliefs overshadow our success and achievements in life and why we should take the development of abundant belief seriously!)
An Abundant Mindset and Its Principles:
Some say that the people who grew up in unfavorable conditions will be left behind in life if they have inherited the limiting beliefs of those around them and their parents, teachers, society did not teach them to have a growth mindset or an abundant mindset.
But we all know stories of successful people who have made their way out of the mentality of ‘lack’ and shifted their reality to became a successful star in their fields. If you look at their life stories, you can see that they all have similar things: Those who changed their attitude and belief in abundance, could transform their lives and achieve great wealth and success even after facing very difficult challenges in their lives.
The Main Principles Of An Abundant Mindset Are:
- Anyone can become wealthy and successful, including me
- Self-improvement and daily personal growth will lead me to success
- Only I am the only person responsible for my own life conditions
- Money and wealth are the best components of life
- I can overcome any problem and obstacle
- I have my own chances and opportunities to be successful and rich, I can be happy for them
- If another person has what I wish for, it will not give me less chance and opportunities to achieve them as the universe has endless resources
- Opportunity does not knock on my door all the time, but I am the one who has to open the door when it knocks on my door, otherwise I will search and find it
- Failure is another way to learn
- I will allow myself to learn the things I need to learn
- I can handle everything I dream of, I allow good things to come to my life
- Time is my most valuable asset. I have to use it efficiently and be careful not to waste it, by having a realistic mindset
- I need to remove toxic mindsets from my life and surround myself with successful and supportive people
- I will cultivate a growth mindset even if it is difficult and time consuming at first.
- My growth is a path, I can grow solely and I can grow with others. If I help others succeed, I will succeed myself. If there is no-one to help me succeed, I will set a positive example
- I must always exceed the expectations of others and myself when it comes to facing failure
- I have control over my thoughts and feelings
- Success takes time and is not achieved overnight
- I should save by avoiding unnecessary expenses and invest my savings on my dreams and goals, but I should not fall to the mindset of greed and poverty
- A am always trying to be the best version of myself. I am only in competition with my own past
- I am amazing and unstoppable even if some people don’t see it in me
(Success, just like anything else, has its own principles.
Although an abundant belief system in our mindsets makes our path to success smoother, other principles are also important in this field and should not be forgotten.)
How Can An Abundant Mindset Transform Our Lives?
Your beliefs and attitude will have a significant impact on your life. The way you think about yourself and those around you determines how you deal with stress management, improving your social standing, emotional relationships, flexibility, and success.
When you tune your attitude to the frequency of abundance, you believe that there are enough resources and successes to share with others. In this way, you will stop destructive competition with others and instead of spending time on things that require a lot of energy and time, you will focus on your goals.
When we talk about belief, we mean that you imagine your desire in your mind and believe that one day what you have in mind will come true. In fact, imagining and dreaming along with our beliefs have a positive effect on our activities to achieve our goals.
Cultivating an abundance mindset will help you live a full and satisfying life, and move towards your goals and dreams with strength, no matter how difficult the circumstances may be, cultivating this mindset and belief will help you on the way.
In addition, you will make the most of the opportunities that will be presented to you for success and progress.
Another important and positive effect of having a lot of faith in the universe law of abundance is that you will give a lot of love to the world around you, and because of the laws of karma, in return of giving this unconditional love, you will receive a lot of positive karma and abundant energy in different ways and forms from the universe.
An abundance mentality makes you consider the success of others as your own success and happiness, and as a result, you will experience a meaningful and memorable life as an individual.
How To Strengthen Our Belief In Abundance?
If you haven’t had a great attitude up to this point in your life, it’s time to change! By using only a few simple strategies, you can easily strengthen the attitude of abundance in yourself:
1. Examine and revise your beliefs
Having the mindset of ‘lack’ is a result of deep and rooted beliefs that have been formed in you about yourself and your performance in life. Therefore, the first step in changing the attitude of scarcity and ‘lack’ to the mindset of ‘abundance’ is to be aware of your own beliefs.
When thoughts of inadequacy and lack come to your mind or you feel fear and anxiety in your body, write them down and then decide what positive thoughts you can replace them with, or what solutions you can have to fix them. You have to be mindful about your own mindset, and constantly develop it in the positive way. As our mind can easily be trained and we can adapt to the energy and frequency of abundance by being mindful about our thoughts and feelings.
(If you don’t know where to start to revise your beliefs and attitudes, you can start by reading this article about ‘developing a growth mindset’.)
2. Practice letting go
When we really want to achieve things such as love, career, wealth and success, we often get attached to the result and wait for the promised day.
So if the conditions do not go according to our wishes and according to what we have planned, we will be disappointed very soon and we will come to the feeling of ‘lack’.
The key to an abundance mindset is to let go of any expectations about how, when, and what will happen in the future and focus solely on taking the actions you must take at the time.
3. Focus on your past good experiences
Undoubtedly, we all have experienced abundance in our lives:
The job situation that you never thought about having.
Recovering from an illness.
An investment that had a lot of returns
Getting to know someone whose relationship was a dream for you
And many more examples that can remind you how abundance has been present in your life.
By relying on these experiences, specially when faced with crises and failures, you can still maintain your positive attitude and gain its benefits.
4. Read inspiring stories
To strengthen the belief in abundance, read the life stories of people who have been able to overcome adverse conditions and achieve abundant wealth and success. By observing the experience of others, it will be proven to you that the law of abundance is not a lie and is true.
In addition, when things don’t go your way, you won’t easily lose your attitude of abundance.
(Phil Knight is one of those people whose success story in launching the famous Nike company can inspire you in this regard. It would be good if you read the book Shoe Dog by Phil Knight.)
5. Celebrate your success and wish good for others
It is amazing to be successful and celebrating your own success. But you have to keep the whole package and be happy for others too. As negative feelings takes away the opportunity for growth and success from you and will trap you in the whirlpool of rumination about proving that the other people do not deserve success and happiness as much as you do!
Instead of wasting your energy, celebrate the success of others and focus on achieving your personal goals.
This will not only increase your chances of success, but also make you aligned with the frequency of abundance!
6. Practice gratitude
There is a subtle difference between satisfaction and contentment! Belief in abundance tells you that you should be satisfied with what you have right now, and since everything good in the world is in frequency with the abundance the appreciation will keep you in that frequency, yet you still can be satisfied with your current conditions or try to improve the situation based on your goals and desires.
Many people feel this way, when they get their desired money, house, car and relationships, they still feel that it is not enough and without enjoying what they have and without remembering one day it was their own dream to have that thing in their life, they put pressure on themselves to get more things and forget to see the worth of their life blessings at the time.
Practice gratitude to feel the miracle of gratitude in your life by counting and appreciating your current blessings to keep yourself with the frequency of abundance.
7. Strengthen your mindset
When the situation is going in such a way that you feel that everything is against you, you may find a negative attitude and deviate from the road of abundance. In this case, you must have tools that can pull you out of this abyss. And return you to the abundant mindset.
Naturally, everyone’s tools are different from others: One person feels better by walking, meditating, and reading books, and another person finds a new life by watching movies, doing artistic works, and being in nature.
The world is full of abundance and things like love, wealth, energy and success are infinite. The only way to benefit from these abundances is to have an abundance mentality.
An attitude that tells us that we have the same opportunity to achieve our desires as others, and the success of others will not take away our rights. I talked with you about abundant mentality and provided you with solutions to develop a mindset that believes in abundance.
With that being said, do you think you have an attitude of abundance or not? Have you ever felt the miracle of abundant thinking in your life? (You are welcomed to write to me about your personal experiences of becoming successful and abundant in life. I always enjoy reading your kind emails!) 🙂

Do Only Unfortunate Or Unsuccessful People Have The Mindset OF ‘Lack Of Abundance’? (What About The People Who Became Fortunate And Successful?)
We can have many answers to such questions, as everyone’s point of view and experiences are different in such subjects.
But facing poverty is really hard! I doubt if anyone says that they enjoy living in difficulties unless they are ‘yogi’ and not normal people. As the misery of the real hunger or real sickness is not a joke to anyone when it becomes real and we find ourselves in situations where we lack recourses that we need, and the confusion it brings with it, about our life goals, hopes and the future… Poverty, makes anyone shake when it comes to them in reality!
And sometimes being in these situations even for a while, gives us so much pressure and difficulties that we may loose our strength, hope and beliefs, even our own perspective on our life path and success…
But people become to two groups in these times:
- Some will loose their beliefs all-together and stop looking forward to the new horizons that life provides them and start living in the same energy frequency as we call it the frequency of ‘lack’.
- Some stand up after falling down, and start over, start stronger, and no matter how hard it seems them them, the cultivate the abundance mindset. They grow out of that ‘lack’ frequency and therefore they shift the energy of ‘lack’ to the energy of ‘abundance’!
It all comes back to our own mentality and mindset. As many of us know that sometimes facing challenges and difficulties in life are tests from the universe, and after such stormy periods in our lives, a period of peaceful abundance will enter our life. (There would be no forest without rain but as Dolly Parton says: “Storms make trees take deeper roots.” too!)
Many people see the difficult periods of their lives as stepping stones towards the better future as after facing hardships we all become the stronger and wiser versions of ourselves and when we come out of hardships and start building amazing lives! And I’m sure if you think right now you can come up with examples about the people who loose many things in life and start over and use their past lessons to achieve even greater things in life, with changing their own beliefs and trusting in their own will-power and the abundance that is in the universe has stored for them, to achieve any good thing in life that they wish for. And when they talk about their success after facing hardship, you always can see true pride in their own achievements and an honest belief that they gained from the abundance that life has for them and everyone else.
If we are currently blessed to live in abundance, it is a personal decision to use the blessings and resources that life has given us, to empower or support or guide others if we can, and while we can, as we are temporary guests of this planet anyways.
So some people do use their abundance for their own growth, and also use some of these resources to help others in their growth paths too, and some people don’t make these decisions, and they have other ways of thinking -which is not to be discussed in this article- as we are not here to judge people and their personal decisions or their actions, we never know what a person has in their heart and mind unless they share them with us, and even those ideas can be subject to change, as change is an inevitable part of our lives.
What we ‘can’ do as individuals is to see and count our own life blessings, believe in the endless abundance that is in the world, and do our best, as much as we can, and wish the best for everyone in the world, while we are on the path of becoming the best version of ourselves.
Even if you are not a very spiritual person, you may believe that everything in the world including us is ‘energy’. And abundance like most of the good things in life is energy too, you only have to know the universal language to activate this energy in your life! (If you think deeper goodness and kindness are energy too, and they multiply by sharing…)’Even if you are not a very spiritual person, you may believe that everything in the world including us is ‘energy’. And abundance like most of the good things in life is energy too, you only have to know the universal language to activate this energy in your life! (If you think deeper ‘goodness’ and ‘kindness’ are energy too, and they multiply by sharing…)
