“The longer I live and the more experience I have of the world, the more I am convinced that, after all, the one thing that is most worth living for and dying for, if need be – is the opportunity of making someone else more happy.” Booker T. Washington

“Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.” Buddha

The Abundance Mentality

One of the things I like about tarot is that we can apply it to current life.  

A current self-help concept is the “Abundance Mentality,” which says that there is enough for everyone. The more we share, the more there is to share.

The Empress

This concept is in direct opposition to the “Scarcity Mentality,” which says that I want mine, and if you get yours, mine is going to be smaller, less, fewer, etc. 

I truly love the concept of the “Abundance Mentality.”  In tarot, the abundance mentality shows up in feminine form.  Presenting Major Arcana Card III, The Empress! 

The Empress sits in a lush setting, bursting with life and nature in full bloom. She is the ultimate symbol of fertility. The richness of nature around her seems endless.

The Empress card reminds us that the abundance mentality is possible. Even if people don’t own many “things,” they can approach situations with abundance and generosity. 

  • Appreciating kindness and beauty in any form is at the core of the abundance mentality.
  • When people share information with others, act with kindness toward others in difficult situations they are practicing the abundance mentality.  
  • Approaching life with an abundant mind and heart will create endless possibilities.
