Ep 162: Are you in Abudance or Scarcity?

Beasts Of Burden ·

2025/05/16

In this episode, I disucss the phrase of "walking in abudance" "avoiding scarcity". This mindset affects your day to day life. "Where attention goes, energy flows" If you are only focused on the negative then you will only receive the negative. If you are only focused on tresspassers, you will have problems with tresspassers. If you focused on providing the best habitat you can possibly create, then you will have the best habitat you possibly can create. I talk about avoiding scarcity, by releasing
