Abundance Mindset

Growing up, my dad had a tradition of eating black eyed peas and corn bread for New Years. Us kids hated this tradition. One New Years I asked my dad why we have this tradition and he said, "You start the year humble (poor) so you end the year rich."

Because we started the year poor and ended the year poor, every year, my child brain did not understand how this scarcity mentality somehow worked in the opposite.

As an adult, I tweeked this tradition. I start the year with a nice steak and I end the year with a nice steak. I believe and I live in an abundance mindset throughout the year.

You can't plant a weed seed and expect a fruit tree.
