Spending the last few hours, trying to tweak the dependencies for a coding project that keeps failing I took a break. I started a journey down the overlanding rabbit hole and fell back into the idea of “I would like to buy a camping trailer”, which ultimately led to my usual “Well then we need a new vehicle and might as well get a camper too”.
Surely many of you have experienced this when looking at things you enjoy and making a wish list for your hobbies. I know I’m not alone. However, a little voice made itself known. It was down deep, echoing through the chambers of my sub conscious rising to the top, faintly heard.
It’s message: “You will never afford that”
It shook me and stopped me in my tracks, that same message I worked years to suffocate and destroy from my vocabulary. A message I never told myself in years. I replaced it with, “you can afford it if you prioritize it”. Some how it snuck back. Which is further validation of my previous post on needed to find balance.
Taking a moment for mental masturbation and stroking my ego, I have worked my ass off to get where I am. Daily grind sessions, reading, learning cultivating myself. Always seeking to improve me as a person and as a professional. Here I am slipping back into the rut of scarcity.
Scarcity Mindset is the killer of dreams and the bastard son of failed endeavors
As we grow and build our life and our futures, we need to be vigilant of the demons locked deep inside. The ones that want us to fall into the abyss with them, their voices echoing as a faint whisper. So low we barley hear them, and our subconscious pics them up.
Moral of this short post, listen and reject these voices as they will slowly and surely limit your true capacity.
