Lack the Lack Mentality🧠
I remember as a backbencher Sir Maqsood teaching an important rule of economics: wants are unlimited but resources are limited. Back then I thought that girls are limited but the guys who want them are unlimited #pervert
That is something that I noticed as soon as I finished school 🎒. So many students finish school to flood the university 🎓 doors, the concept of bottleneck in action. I thought working would be a better option, but many other students also thought the same. Well, I finally got a job as a help desk but at work, no one was ready to share with me any info, even the Wi-Fi 📶 password which they expected me to check but not be able to fix, well that’s coz if I was able to fix then I would be making someone obsolete with my new energies at work which were intimidating others or making them feel insecure.
Moral of my teenage life: Don’t Share what You have: money 💵, knowledge 📚, resources 🧸 and Wi-Fi passwords i.e. be stingy.
Many of us have experienced moments where we feel like we don't have enough. We may feel like we aren't smart 🧠 enough, attractive 💃🏼 enough, or that we don't have enough money 💰. This is known as a lack mentality.
To cut the story short you are a unique product of your exclusive experiences that no one else in the world has had, not even your siblings, even though they might have had similar resources 🧸
Your looks, you are a masterpiece, wear whatever you like and it will suit you in the end.
Stop saving a lot of money and start using it on your needs like getting a skill or art and spend on yourself and feel relaxed, I’m still working on this one to be honest.
Now, there are two ways that Lack Mentality affects us
No 1. It affects us directly, as already explained
No 2. It affects the people around us
We have to take care of people around us coz we were not sent to earth for procreation only (as believed by the father of Elon Musk who co-created a baby with his stepdaughter 🤮). We need to share openly without any fear of being replaced, no matter what we do we will be replaced, but sharing will surely open up newer doors for you, and not sharing will surely close a few. The people who are still alive after their death are the ones who shared themselves or what they had: Moses, Jesus, Mohammad, and other writers and their amazing books that still live until this day.
How do you feel when someone gives you their keys ofsuccess?
One of the main dangers of not sharing is that you become a cheap individual, always hiding stuff.
Imagine a coach who gives all he knows and a coach who keeps to himself. Who will have a bigger Legacy?
People will reciprocate - if you don’t take care of people then they don’t take care of you as well i.e. don’t share their good stuff, new job possibilities etc.
People only become valuable by giving value in the first place, you are of no value if you don’t give something. This isn’t a bank 🏦 account but an exam sheet📜, the more you give the better status you will earn.
“The problem with hoarding is you end up living off your reserves. Eventually, you’ll become stale. If you give away everything you have, you are left with nothing. This forces you to look, to be aware, to replenish. . . . Somehow the more you give away, the more comes back to you.” —Paul Arden
