abundance mindset

Believing enough exists

An abundance mindset is the belief that there's enough success, resources, or opportunity for everyone—that life isn't zero-sum.

The opposite of a scarcity mindset, it frames gains by others as non-threatening: With an abundance mindset, you celebrate your colleague's promotion instead of resenting it.

Popular in self-help and business contexts, the term suggests that generosity and optimism attract more of what you want.
