“You are to become a creator, not a competitor; you are going to get what you want, but in such a way that when you get it every other man will have more than he has now.”

— Wallace D. Wattles

Getting what you want by taking away from others is a scarcity mindset.  Scarcity mindset will produce scarcity.  The better way is to adopt an abundance mindset, which will produce abundance.

Scarcity mindset says “There’s not enough, so I must take away from you to get what I need.”  It is self-fulfilling.

Abundance mindset says “I receive what I need through infinite supply.  I can give freely because my supply will be replenished.”  It is also self-fulfilling.
