The Universe is Abundant

I was reading about Cambrianhouse last night. A very cool concept/model for a new company. One part that really struck a cord with me was the first post in their blog.

It talks about ideas and values that I believe (or try to believe) and have read about often in books. In a nutshell it is about changing your view of the world/universe to think that there is an abundance and not a scarcity of everything. It touches on ideas that I read about in The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success (an easy read and interesting book).

Here is some of the post:

>##We will never run out of pie
>
>Believing the universe is abundant means not seeing the world as one of scarcity. Instead of fighting for the last piece of the pie, we believe the supply is endless.
>
>It means not living and operating our company from a basis of fear.
>
>It means not being afraid to:
>
> * share our best ideas because there is an infinite number of good ideas
> * let more people contribute to and benefit from our success because there is no limit on success
> * let people, even competitors, download and see our source code because it’s not our code to begin with, it belongs to the community

>##The alternative
>
>Even if you don’t believe the universe is abundant, consider the alternative – a universe of scarcity.
>
>When you view the universe as one of scarcity, your actions begin to follow your thoughts.
>
>You donate less to charity.
>You are less giving of your time to others.
>You hoard things and share less.
>
>When you view the world as one of scarcity you begin a self fulfilling prophecy.
>
>Your world becomes scarce because you BELIEVE it to be scarce.
>
>If you see a world of scarcity – you will live in a world of scarcity.
>If you see a world of abundance – you will live in a world of abundance.
