Everybody seems to think that an abundance mentality is always better than a scarcity mentality, but is it? Can you have too much of an abundance mentality?
I have turned down great job opportunities thinking I could do better, but then had to settle for less.
I have turned down attractive girls for stupid reasons and then had to go through a dry spell and settle for about 2 points less attractive ones.
I understand that optimism and over-confidence are generally good, within reason, but becoming delusional is not a good thing.
I find having an abundance mentality makes me lazy and complacent. The times when I do go balls to the wall and game hard are when I haven't pulled in a while. Likewise when I'm making money I'm comfortable doing what I'm doing. When I'm broke I really start to hustle and get out there.
