The Law of Attraction says that what you think about and focus on and is what will come back to you. Like attracts like so if the energy you give off is negative, you will get negative back and if you are positive, you will receive positive in return. Your mind, like the magnet in the picture above, collects all sorts of things. The magnet doesn’t know the difference between a shiny new screw and a rusty old screw. Either will stick to the magnet if it is in the vicinity of them. Your goal is to attract positive things by surrounding yourself with positive things.

Stephen Covey coined the terms scarcity mindset and abundance mindset in his best-selling book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Scarcity mindset is a view that life has a finite number of resources available, so that if one person gets more, that leaves less for everyone else. A scarcity mindset keeps us from achieving our goals because we feel like we can’t get the things we want because we don’t have the same luck, skills, advantages, etc. Conversely, an abundance mindset is the idea that there are limitless opportunities available to you in business and life and that there’s enough for everyone.
