About a week and a half ago we sold one of our vehicles. It was getting up there in age, and we decided it was time to find another one. I never really enjoyed the process of shopping for cars, but it actually was not all that unpleasant this time around.
When reflecting on the whole process, I can go back to one simple “shift” that has occurred overall in my thinking since the last time I shopped for vehicles that made all the difference in my life, and so I want to share that “shift” with you, so that it can help you and enhance your quality of life and reduce stress and anxiety in your future experiences.
The “shift” is simple — it’s merely moving from a “scarcity-based” mindset to an “abundance-based” mindset. It’s understanding that there is always more of something out there for you if you go looking for it. The universe will provide for you provided that you align yourself to receive the abundance that is waiting to be unfolded to you.
The significance of making this shift is that it moves you from a “fear-based” mindset and slides you right into a “spirit-based” one. It changes your personality and alters your perspective.
Take my vehicle shopping experience, for example. I’ll start off by saying I don’t usually buy new vehicles. I prefer to buy pre-owned cars. For those of you who also buy pre-owned vehicles, you know there are so many variables and so many things you have to consider, like the vehicle’s previous history, mileage, age, and so forth. It’s kind of like dating!
We found this one particular vehicle that we really liked. Everything was falling in line with what we were looking for — except the price. It was priced a little higher than we would have preferred. Negotiations were pretty simple in this case, because the dealer wouldn’t budge down and we wouldn’t move up much either. We just got up and walked away.
The reason it was so easy to get up and walk away is because we both knew that there were many more vehicles just like this out there for us to find. With all the available vehicles out there, we knew there was an abundant supply, and we just hadn’t found the right one yet. Because we dialed in to abundance and the “spirit-based” mindset, we opened ourselves up to that perfect vehicle that was out there waiting for us. Had we dialed in to fear and scarcity, we would have worried that we were going to lose this vehicle, and we would have negotiated higher than what we had planned to do.
Sure enough, the perfect vehicle for us was out there waiting. Actually, it was even “more perfect.” It was our favorite color — black. It was a certified pre-owned vehicle. Best of all, it was right there within the price range we wanted. We love it, and the kids love it. Everyone’s happy.
When you dial into abundance, you dial in to the opportunities that are available to you. You open yourself up to possibilities that are out there, just waiting for you. When you dial into fear, your perspective narrows. Your choices become limited, and you dial into the possibility that the few things you have can be taken away from you.
Just by making one simple “shift” from scarcity to abundance, it has turned my life around forever and the world has never looked the same since. I hope that by making similar small “shifts” in your life, you can find the blessings of abundance that are out there for you and you alone, just waiting to be found!

It makes all the difference in the world to our life experiences Victor, as amply experienced by you. Knowing the ideal is yours opens the door for ideals to pour through, be they of cars, homes, people…it’s an amazing system if we operate it on our behalf. Kudos to you and enjoy the fruits of your law work.
Elle,
As always, it’s wonderful to have you here today. Thanks for connecting here on the discussion board! 🙂
An “amazing system,” as you put it, is a great way to look at it. It can be a lot of fun when you realize the true power your thoughts can have on the physical world we live in. Thanks so much for stopping by. You know you’re welcome any time! Take care.
Great post Victor.
I agree with your thinking. I love knowing that what you want or need is available to you at any time.
Releasing yourself to that shift in thinking is so important. We have had some amazing trips these last few years with that exact mindset. We’ve been upgraded to penthouse suites right on the beach front several times. We have been upgraded from rental vans to high end fully loaded suburbans. We have had a fully paid expense trip to Europe.
All that without even working toward it. It is as you said, “Just by making one simple “shift” from scarcity to abundance.” I use the tools I have to get clear, and that’s it.
Amazing. And if I start to worry that our luck will run out I do some work on those thoughts to clear them as well realigning myself to abundance.
Thanks for sharing this!
I love hearing your stories Melissa! It’s a true testament to the fact that this can work if you allow it. Thanks so much for sharing and validating that this can happen if you believe in it! Come again soon!
I love your thinking and the interview with Evelyn was inspirational. I love dialling into abundance and it is so true that when we make the shift listen to our heart whispers magic happens and we are aligned to out true spirit. I am off to do some dialling
thank you
