i am a monkey

I got this compliment a little while back.

I think about it sometimes and ask myself:

Why do I have an abundance mindset?

I moved 12 times as a kid between 3 schools, 2 states, and 5 towns.

But my parents worked hard so they could give us anything we want within reason (even if they couldn’t afford it).

I’m pretty sure they spent their last dollar so I could get Call of Duty on release date.

Anyways, since I was a kid I’ve been conditioned to “I can have whatever I want if I earn it”.

Get good grades - rewarded with a game.

Don’t break trust - rewarded with freedom.

And so on.

So in a way, I think creating reward-based systems in your life can cure your scarcity mindset.

Want to eat a cookie? Go get a hard workout in first.

Want to binge-watch a show? Go make a sale first.

Want to travel? Hit your next MRR goal first.

Maybe we’re just monkeys after all.

Cheers,

Marcos
