How often do we find ourselves stuck in patterns of scarcity thinking? In this episode of The Caffeinated Musings Podcast, we dive deep into how shifting from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset can transform our lives, leadership, and relationships. We’ll explore the root causes of scarcity thinking, share practical strategies to foster abundance, and uncover how mindfulness plays a pivotal role in cultivating gratitude and joy. Through personal anecdotes, actionable insights, and relatable examples, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways to help you embrace abundance and unlock new possibilities in your life.

[00:00:00] Hello and welcome to the Caffeinated Musings podcast. I'm your host Bilal and I'm absolutely

[00:00:04] thrilled to kick off this year's journey with you. But before we dive in, let me wish you a Happy

[00:00:12] New Year 2025. Here's to a year filled with growth, breakthroughs, and those little moments of joy

[00:00:19] that make life worth celebrating. Let me throw this at you. How often have you made decisions based

[00:00:25] on fear? Fear of not having enough time, money, energy, or even recognition. It's sneaky, isn't it?

[00:00:32] Like a shadow, always there, quietly influencing what you choose to do. But what if we could

[00:00:39] recognize that voice and choose to see possibilities instead of limitations? Think about it. Maybe it's

[00:00:46] why you hesitated on a passion project or kept saying yes to everything, driven by fear that

[00:00:52] opportunities are fleeting. We've all been there, haunted by that voice whispering,

[00:00:58] what if it's not enough? What if I'm not enough? But here's the thing, what if we could flip the script?

[00:01:05] What if instead of fixating on what we lack, you started seeing possibilities? That's the power of

[00:01:12] shifting from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset. And let me tell you, this shift isn't just

[00:01:19] a subtle change in thinking. It's a transformation that can redefine how we approach life, leadership,

[00:01:25] and success. Here's a secret for you. Starting this podcast was my own battle with scarcity thinking.

[00:01:34] It wasn't just about hitting a record. It was about stepping into a bigger, more vulnerable space.

[00:01:39] I'd hear the dark side whispering, what if no one listens? What if it's not good enough?

[00:01:46] But last year, I made a personal oath. To silence those doubts, to trust in my skills and expertise,

[00:01:53] and most importantly, to give it a shot. Even if failure was a possibility, I chose to try rather

[00:02:00] than let fear hold me back. And here I am sharing this with you. So in today's episode, we're diving

[00:02:08] deep into the scarcity mindset, what it is, why it holds us back, and how an abundance mindset can help

[00:02:14] us break free. Buckle up. This is going to be an eye-opener. Let's start with a truth bomb.

[00:02:51] The scarcity mindset doesn't just pop up out of nowhere. It's often planted early, watered by

[00:02:58] societal norms, and nurtured by our own fears. From a young age, we're taught to measure success

[00:03:03] by how much we achieve, earn, or win. Think about school, where grades or awards often define our worth,

[00:03:10] or workplaces where promotions feel like a zero-sum game. And if someone else is winning?

[00:03:17] Well, that must mean there's less left for us. This mindset is subtly reinforced, making us feel like

[00:03:24] we're constantly in competition rather than collaboration. It's that voice urging us to

[00:03:31] cling to every opportunity out of fear, convincing us to overcommit and exhaust ourselves because saying no

[00:03:38] feels like losing something forever. These patterns show how fear-driven decisions dominate our choices,

[00:03:45] even when we're not fully aware of it. And it's not just personal. Scarcity thinking creeps into

[00:03:51] leadership too. Ever micromanaged a project out of fear it wouldn't meet your standards?

[00:03:57] These scarcity-driven tendencies, such as hesitating to delegate, can affect both our leadership

[00:04:02] and relationships. Scarcity thinking is exhausting. At its core, it's about fear. Fear of losing control,

[00:04:11] missing out, or not being enough. Living in that constant state of grasping and guarding drains our

[00:04:17] energy and stunts growth. Let's consider how this shows up in relationships and team dynamics.

[00:04:22] In relationships, scarcity thinking can make us overly guarded, unwilling to share ideas,

[00:04:28] or support because we fear losing our edge. It's the colleague who hesitates to collaborate,

[00:04:33] thinking if I help them shine, it might dim my own light. Or it's the leader who micromanages,

[00:04:40] not out of malice, but from a fear that trust will lead to failure. These patterns not only strain

[00:04:47] relationships, but also hinder growth and creativity for everyone involved.

[00:04:54] I've seen this play out in my own life. There was a time when I hesitated to invest in my personal

[00:04:59] growth. I think, this money could be better spent elsewhere, or do I really have the time for this?

[00:05:07] But looking back, I realized that holding onto that mindset kept me stuck, robbing me of the very growth

[00:05:13] I needed to move forward. Understanding these roots is the first step to abolishing them.

[00:05:20] When we see where these patterns come from, we can start rewriting the narrative. And that's the exciting part.

[00:05:27] Deciding that we're no longer going to let fear call the shots.

[00:05:31] So how do we shift from a mindset of fear and limitation to one of abundance and possibility?

[00:05:37] That's where we're headed next. Let's make this shift happen.

[00:05:41] Leadership is a mirror. It reflects the mindset of the person in charge.

[00:05:47] And when scarcity thinking creeps into leadership, it can ripple across teams, projects, and entire organizations.

[00:05:54] Scarcity-driven leadership often manifests in two key ways.

[00:05:59] Micromanagement and fear of collaboration.

[00:06:03] Micromanagement stems from the fear that things won't be done just right unless we're controlling every detail.

[00:06:10] Fear of collaboration, on the other hand, comes from a belief that sharing ideas or credit

[00:06:14] might undermine our authority or recognition.

[00:06:18] Sound familiar?

[00:06:19] I've experienced this firsthand.

[00:06:21] As a meticulous and detail-oriented leader, my motto has always been,

[00:06:26] the devil is in the details.

[00:06:28] For years, this mindset led me to hold onto tasks that I should have delegated.

[00:06:33] I'd find myself thinking,

[00:06:35] if I want this done right,

[00:06:37] I'll have to do it myself.

[00:06:39] It's not that I didn't trust my team.

[00:06:41] I just feared losing control of the outcome.

[00:06:45] But here's the reality.

[00:06:46] This approach wasn't just exhausting for me.

[00:06:49] It stunted the growth of my team.

[00:06:52] Shifting from scarcity to abundance in leadership was a game-changer.

[00:06:56] I started by reframing my role.

[00:06:59] Instead of seeing myself as the person responsible for every detail,

[00:07:03] I began to see myself as the enabler of others' success.

[00:07:07] This shift allowed me to trust my team,

[00:07:10] foster collaboration,

[00:07:12] and give others the space to shine.

[00:07:14] And the results were remarkable.

[00:07:17] Not only did my team members grow in confidence and skills,

[00:07:20] but I also found the freedom

[00:07:22] to focus on higher-level projects

[00:07:25] and other work

[00:07:26] that truly valued my time.

[00:07:28] Abundance isn't just for leadership.

[00:07:30] It applies to personal growth, too.

[00:07:33] Consider how scarcity thinking

[00:07:34] often limits personal development.

[00:07:37] Take the story of J.K. Rowling, for example.

[00:07:39] Before she became the world-renowned author of

[00:07:42] the Harry Potter series,

[00:07:44] she faced rejection after rejection,

[00:07:47] battling the fear

[00:07:48] that she lacked the resources to succeed.

[00:07:51] Yet,

[00:07:52] she saw writing as an investment in her future,

[00:07:55] and her persistence

[00:07:56] redefined her life.

[00:07:58] Or think about a personal anecdote.

[00:08:00] Have you ever hesitated

[00:08:02] to sign up for a class

[00:08:03] or pursue a hobby,

[00:08:04] thinking it was impractical or indulgent?

[00:08:07] Shifting to an abundance mindset

[00:08:09] means recognizing these pursuits

[00:08:11] not as luxuries,

[00:08:12] but as investments

[00:08:13] in our well-being and growth.

[00:08:15] As Albert Einstein once said,

[00:08:17] creativity is intelligence having fun.

[00:08:21] Embracing personal abundance

[00:08:22] fuels our future success

[00:08:24] and unlocks potential

[00:08:26] we didn't even know we had.

[00:08:28] So how can we embrace abundance

[00:08:30] as leaders and individuals?

[00:08:32] It starts with redefining

[00:08:34] how we view success.

[00:08:35] Success isn't about controlling

[00:08:37] every outcome.

[00:08:38] It's about thriving alongside others

[00:08:40] and celebrating collective wins.

[00:08:43] When we stop equating

[00:08:44] success with personal control,

[00:08:46] we free ourselves to focus

[00:08:48] on what truly matters.

[00:08:50] Growth,

[00:08:51] collaboration,

[00:08:52] and impact.

[00:08:54] Delegation plays a key role

[00:08:55] in this shift.

[00:08:56] By identifying tasks

[00:08:58] that align with our team members' strengths,

[00:09:01] setting clear expectations,

[00:09:02] and providing the right support,

[00:09:04] we create opportunities

[00:09:05] for others to take ownership and shine.

[00:09:08] Stepping back is challenging,

[00:09:09] but it's also liberating

[00:09:11] for both leaders and their teams.

[00:09:14] Finally,

[00:09:14] it's crucial to recognize

[00:09:16] the importance of balance.

[00:09:18] Creativity,

[00:09:19] hobbies,

[00:09:19] and well-being

[00:09:20] aren't just nice-to-haves.

[00:09:22] They're essential ingredients

[00:09:23] for a fulfilling life.

[00:09:25] When you make time

[00:09:26] for activities

[00:09:27] that fuel your energy,

[00:09:28] whether it's pursuing a passion,

[00:09:30] engaging in sports,

[00:09:32] or simply taking a moment

[00:09:33] to breathe,

[00:09:34] you approach challenges

[00:09:36] with a renewed perspective.

[00:09:38] Abundance

[00:09:39] is about embracing

[00:09:40] these moments

[00:09:40] and recognizing

[00:09:41] their power

[00:09:42] to enrich both our personal

[00:09:43] and professional lives.

[00:09:45] Abundance in leadership

[00:09:46] and life

[00:09:47] isn't just about trusting others.

[00:09:49] It's about creating a space

[00:09:50] where everyone,

[00:09:51] including ourselves,

[00:09:52] can thrive.

[00:09:54] And when we model this mindset,

[00:09:56] it becomes contagious,

[00:09:57] spreading positivity

[00:09:59] and possibility

[00:10:00] wherever we go.

[00:10:16] Shifting to an abundance mindset

[00:10:18] doesn't require

[00:10:18] a dramatic overhaul.

[00:10:20] In fact,

[00:10:21] it's often the small

[00:10:22] intentional practices

[00:10:23] that create

[00:10:24] the biggest shifts.

[00:10:25] Here are some practical steps

[00:10:27] to help us get started.

[00:10:29] Step 1.

[00:10:31] Gratitude as the foundation

[00:10:33] of abundance.

[00:10:35] Gratitude is one of the simplest,

[00:10:36] yet most powerful ways

[00:10:38] to foster abundance.

[00:10:39] It shifts our focus

[00:10:40] from what we lack

[00:10:41] to what we already have.

[00:10:43] A simple daily practice,

[00:10:45] like writing down

[00:10:47] three things we're grateful for,

[00:10:48] can rewire our perspective

[00:10:50] over time.

[00:10:51] And it doesn't have

[00:10:52] to be monumental.

[00:10:53] Even appreciating

[00:10:54] a morning cup of coffee

[00:10:55] or a kind word

[00:10:56] from a colleague

[00:10:57] can make a difference.

[00:10:59] Step 2.

[00:11:00] Reframing challenges

[00:11:01] as opportunities.

[00:11:03] Life throws curveballs.

[00:11:05] That's a given.

[00:11:06] But what if,

[00:11:08] instead of seeing them

[00:11:09] as obstacles,

[00:11:10] we saw them

[00:11:10] as opportunities to grow?

[00:11:12] For example,

[00:11:14] a tough project at work

[00:11:15] isn't just a challenge.

[00:11:16] It's a chance

[00:11:17] to develop new skills

[00:11:18] or build stronger relationships

[00:11:20] with our team.

[00:11:21] Reframing takes practice,

[00:11:23] but it's a powerful tool

[00:11:24] to move from limitation

[00:11:26] to possibility.

[00:11:28] Step 3.

[00:11:29] Daily practices

[00:11:30] for abundance thinking.

[00:11:33] Building an abundance mindset

[00:11:34] is like exercising a muscle.

[00:11:36] It takes consistency.

[00:11:39] Here are a few

[00:11:40] manageable habits to try.

[00:11:42] Start the day

[00:11:42] with a positive statement,

[00:11:44] like,

[00:11:45] I have enough time

[00:11:46] and resources

[00:11:46] to succeed today.

[00:11:48] Instead of a to-do list,

[00:11:50] create a plenty list

[00:11:51] at the end of the day.

[00:11:52] A record of what we accomplished,

[00:11:54] no matter how small.

[00:11:56] Pause during the day

[00:11:57] to acknowledge

[00:11:58] the abundance around us,

[00:11:59] a supportive colleague,

[00:12:00] a productive meeting,

[00:12:01] or even a moment of peace.

[00:12:03] We end the practices

[00:12:05] with step 4.

[00:12:07] Focusing on what

[00:12:08] we can control.

[00:12:11] Abundance thinking

[00:12:11] doesn't mean

[00:12:12] ignoring challenges.

[00:12:13] It's about focusing

[00:12:14] our energy

[00:12:15] on what we can influence

[00:12:16] rather than

[00:12:17] what's beyond our control.

[00:12:18] By channeling our efforts

[00:12:21] into actionable steps,

[00:12:22] we're more likely

[00:12:23] to see progress

[00:12:24] and feel empowered.

[00:12:25] These steps

[00:12:26] aren't about perfection.

[00:12:28] They're about progress.

[00:12:30] By incorporating

[00:12:31] these practices

[00:12:31] into our daily lives,

[00:12:33] we can gradually shift

[00:12:34] from a mindset of scarcity

[00:12:35] to one of abundance,

[00:12:37] unlocking new possibilities

[00:12:39] along the way.

[00:12:40] Whenever we consider

[00:12:41] making a significant shift,

[00:12:43] like adopting

[00:12:44] an abundance mindset,

[00:12:46] there are bound to be

[00:12:46] challenges and misconceptions

[00:12:47] along the way.

[00:12:49] It's natural.

[00:12:50] After all,

[00:12:51] we're trying to unlearn

[00:12:52] years of conditioned thinking.

[00:12:54] One of the most

[00:12:55] common hurdles

[00:12:56] is skepticism.

[00:12:58] It's easy to think

[00:12:59] this abundant stuff

[00:13:01] sounds too good

[00:13:02] to be true,

[00:13:03] especially when life

[00:13:04] throws constant

[00:13:05] challenges our way.

[00:13:07] This skepticism

[00:13:08] often stems

[00:13:09] from fear of change,

[00:13:10] a deeply rooted hesitation

[00:13:12] to let go

[00:13:13] of what feels familiar,

[00:13:15] even if it's

[00:13:16] limiting us.

[00:13:17] Then there's impatience.

[00:13:19] We want results,

[00:13:20] and we want them now.

[00:13:23] Shifting to an

[00:13:24] abundance mindset,

[00:13:25] however,

[00:13:26] isn't an overnight

[00:13:26] transformation.

[00:13:27] It's a process,

[00:13:29] one that requires

[00:13:30] consistent effort

[00:13:31] and trust

[00:13:31] in the journey.

[00:13:32] Another misconception

[00:13:33] is that abundance

[00:13:34] is all about

[00:13:35] material wealth.

[00:13:36] While financial security

[00:13:38] can be a byproduct,

[00:13:40] true abundance

[00:13:40] is about so much more.

[00:13:42] It's about feeling

[00:13:43] rich in relationships,

[00:13:44] opportunities,

[00:13:46] personal growth,

[00:13:46] and moments of joy.

[00:13:49] Oprah Winfrey,

[00:13:50] a notable advocate

[00:13:52] of gratitude

[00:13:53] and abundance,

[00:13:54] once said,

[00:13:55] be thankful

[00:13:55] for what you have.

[00:13:57] You'll end up

[00:13:58] having more.

[00:14:00] If you concentrate

[00:14:01] on what you don't have,

[00:14:03] you will never,

[00:14:04] ever have enough.

[00:14:06] This mindset highlights

[00:14:07] the real essence

[00:14:08] of abundance,

[00:14:09] appreciating what's

[00:14:10] already within our grasp.

[00:14:12] So,

[00:14:12] how do we overcome

[00:14:14] these challenges?

[00:14:15] The key lies

[00:14:17] in reframing

[00:14:17] our perspective

[00:14:18] and taking small,

[00:14:19] consistent steps.

[00:14:21] Start by acknowledging

[00:14:22] skepticism

[00:14:23] as a normal part

[00:14:24] of change.

[00:14:25] But don't let it

[00:14:26] take the wheel.

[00:14:27] When fear of change

[00:14:28] arises,

[00:14:29] remind yourself

[00:14:30] of times when

[00:14:31] stepping out

[00:14:31] of your comfort zone

[00:14:32] led to growth.

[00:14:33] Patience, too,

[00:14:34] can be cultivated

[00:14:35] through simple practices.

[00:14:37] Treat the shift

[00:14:38] to abundance

[00:14:38] as a journey

[00:14:39] rather than a destination.

[00:14:40] celebration.

[00:14:42] Celebrate small wins

[00:14:43] along the way,

[00:14:44] like noticing a moment

[00:14:45] of gratitude

[00:14:46] or letting go

[00:14:47] of a limiting belief.

[00:14:49] These moments,

[00:14:50] however small,

[00:14:51] are proof

[00:14:52] that progress

[00:14:53] is happening.

[00:14:54] And when it comes

[00:14:55] to misconceptions

[00:14:56] about material wealth,

[00:14:57] it helps to redefine

[00:14:58] what success looks like.

[00:15:00] Focus on building

[00:15:01] connections,

[00:15:02] savoring experiences,

[00:15:04] and finding fulfillment

[00:15:05] in everyday moments.

[00:15:06] This broader view

[00:15:07] of abundance

[00:15:08] is far more

[00:15:09] sustainable

[00:15:09] and rewarding

[00:15:10] than chasing

[00:15:11] external markers

[00:15:12] of success.

[00:15:28] Abundance and mindfulness

[00:15:29] are two sides

[00:15:30] of the same coin.

[00:15:32] At its core,

[00:15:34] an abundance mindset

[00:15:35] thrives on presence,

[00:15:37] on being fully engaged

[00:15:38] in the here

[00:15:39] and now.

[00:15:41] After all,

[00:15:42] how can we appreciate

[00:15:43] what we have

[00:15:44] if we're too busy

[00:15:45] worrying about

[00:15:46] what we don't?

[00:15:46] A great example

[00:15:47] of this connection

[00:15:48] comes from

[00:15:49] John Kabat-Zinn,

[00:15:50] the founder of

[00:15:51] Mindfulness-Based

[00:15:52] Stress Reduction.

[00:15:53] He emphasizes

[00:15:54] that mindfulness

[00:15:55] isn't about

[00:15:56] escaping life's

[00:15:56] difficulties,

[00:15:57] but about

[00:15:58] facing them

[00:15:59] with clarity

[00:16:00] and compassion.

[00:16:01] In the same way,

[00:16:02] abundance isn't

[00:16:03] about denying

[00:16:04] challenges,

[00:16:04] but about choosing

[00:16:06] to see opportunities

[00:16:07] amidst them.

[00:16:08] Personally,

[00:16:09] I've found

[00:16:09] that incorporating

[00:16:11] mindfulness

[00:16:11] into my day-to-day

[00:16:12] life amplifies

[00:16:13] feelings of abundance.

[00:16:15] Think about

[00:16:16] the simple act

[00:16:17] of choosing

[00:16:18] one moment

[00:16:19] in your day

[00:16:20] to pause

[00:16:21] and breathe,

[00:16:22] a mindful breath

[00:16:23] where you do

[00:16:24] nothing but focus

[00:16:25] on its rhythm.

[00:16:27] This isn't about

[00:16:28] fixing something

[00:16:29] or completing a task.

[00:16:30] It's about

[00:16:31] experiencing the

[00:16:32] present fully.

[00:16:33] For instance,

[00:16:34] the next time

[00:16:35] you're eating,

[00:16:36] try slowing down

[00:16:37] and noticing

[00:16:38] the textures,

[00:16:39] flavors,

[00:16:39] and sensations

[00:16:40] with each bite.

[00:16:41] And I'll be honest,

[00:16:43] this is one

[00:16:43] I'm still learning

[00:16:44] myself,

[00:16:45] as I tend to

[00:16:46] eat quickly

[00:16:47] no matter

[00:16:47] what's on my

[00:16:48] schedule.

[00:16:49] But when I do

[00:16:50] manage to slow

[00:16:51] down,

[00:16:51] it transforms

[00:16:52] the experience,

[00:16:53] turning something

[00:16:54] routine into

[00:16:55] a moment to

[00:16:56] remember.

[00:16:57] This practice

[00:16:58] connects us

[00:16:58] to the moment,

[00:16:59] reminds us

[00:17:00] of abundance

[00:17:01] in the simplest

[00:17:01] acts,

[00:17:02] and reinforces

[00:17:03] the idea

[00:17:03] that mindfulness

[00:17:04] is a pathway

[00:17:05] to experiencing

[00:17:06] richness

[00:17:06] in everyday life.

[00:17:08] Mindfulness

[00:17:09] also helps us

[00:17:10] cultivate gratitude,

[00:17:11] my personal

[00:17:12] favorite.

[00:17:13] Gratitude is

[00:17:14] the foundation

[00:17:14] of abundance.

[00:17:15] By being present,

[00:17:16] we notice

[00:17:17] things we might

[00:17:18] otherwise overlook.

[00:17:20] A kind gesture

[00:17:21] from a colleague,

[00:17:22] the laughter

[00:17:22] of a friend,

[00:17:23] or the beauty

[00:17:24] of a sunset.

[00:17:25] These moments

[00:17:26] remind us

[00:17:27] that abundance

[00:17:28] is often found

[00:17:29] in the simplest

[00:17:30] things.

[00:17:31] When we combine

[00:17:32] mindfulness

[00:17:32] with abundance

[00:17:33] thinking,

[00:17:33] we create

[00:17:34] a powerful

[00:17:34] feedback loop.

[00:17:36] Being present

[00:17:37] enhances our

[00:17:37] appreciation

[00:17:38] for what we have,

[00:17:39] and appreciating

[00:17:40] what we have

[00:17:41] deepens our

[00:17:42] ability to stay

[00:17:43] present.

[00:17:43] This cycle

[00:17:44] not only fosters

[00:17:45] gratitude,

[00:17:46] but also

[00:17:47] builds resilience,

[00:17:48] helping us

[00:17:49] navigate life's

[00:17:50] ups and downs

[00:17:51] with greater ease.

[00:17:52] As we come

[00:17:53] to the end

[00:17:54] of today's episode,

[00:17:56] let's take a moment

[00:17:57] to recap the journey

[00:17:58] we've been on.

[00:17:59] We started

[00:18:00] by exploring

[00:18:00] the roots

[00:18:01] of scarcity

[00:18:01] thinking

[00:18:02] and how it

[00:18:02] holds us back.

[00:18:04] Then explored

[00:18:05] actionable strategies

[00:18:06] to embrace abundance,

[00:18:08] from leadership

[00:18:09] and personal growth

[00:18:10] to practical

[00:18:11] daily practices.

[00:18:12] Finally,

[00:18:13] we connected

[00:18:14] the dots

[00:18:14] between abundance

[00:18:15] and mindfulness,

[00:18:17] discovering how

[00:18:17] presence amplifies

[00:18:18] gratitude

[00:18:19] and joy.

[00:18:21] Reflecting on

[00:18:22] my own journey,

[00:18:23] I can say that

[00:18:23] shifting to

[00:18:24] an abundance

[00:18:25] mindset

[00:18:26] has been one

[00:18:27] of the most

[00:18:27] transformative

[00:18:28] changes I've

[00:18:29] made.

[00:18:29] It's not about

[00:18:30] being perfect

[00:18:31] or having it

[00:18:32] all figured out.

[00:18:33] It's about

[00:18:33] showing up

[00:18:34] each day

[00:18:34] with a

[00:18:35] commitment

[00:18:36] to see

[00:18:36] possibilities,

[00:18:37] trust the

[00:18:38] process,

[00:18:39] and celebrate

[00:18:40] progress

[00:18:40] no matter

[00:18:41] how small.

[00:18:42] So,

[00:18:43] I encourage

[00:18:44] each of you

[00:18:44] to take

[00:18:45] that first

[00:18:45] step.

[00:18:46] Maybe it's

[00:18:47] starting a

[00:18:47] gratitude

[00:18:48] journal,

[00:18:48] embracing

[00:18:49] a new

[00:18:49] challenge,

[00:18:50] or simply

[00:18:51] pausing

[00:18:51] to savor

[00:18:52] a small

[00:18:52] moment

[00:18:52] of joy

[00:18:53] today.

[00:18:54] Remember,

[00:18:55] abundance

[00:18:56] isn't something

[00:18:57] we find,

[00:18:58] it's something

[00:18:59] we cultivate.
