Two speakers explain why focusing on what's missing in your life keeps you unhappy, even if you're successful. They say this scarcity mindset drove constant achievement during COVID without bringing fulfillment, and treating your mind as you instead of a tool you can observe keeps the pain going.
Which one do you think most people spend more time focusing on what they have or what's missing?
What's missing?
What do you focus more on?
What's missing?
The focus on what's missing is not something that comes with someone who is a failure. It comes very much with people who are very successful. The question then becomes, if you're always focused on missing, how can you sustain happiness?
You're in a permanent place of lack.
That's correct. So scarcity is there, so you'll have drive, right, to keep staying on the hamster wheel of achievement. But you're not going to see much fulfillment, not in a sustainable way. It's impossible. It has nothing to do with you or me, right? It's just software and we got a soul. We're not software. But you run your software so often you start thinking your mind is you versus my mind is a tool that I'm going to use, or if I don't use it, it's going to use me. So the majority of people do that. And by the way, during COVID that number exploded because so many things were taken from people. They were constantly focused on what's missing and that produces nothing but pain.
