Portland, Oregon is known for her roses. The nickname City of Rose always reminds me of an old Chinese saying: 赠人玫瑰 手有余香 (zèng rén méi gui, shǒu yǒu yú xiāng) - when you gift someone a rose, the fragrance lingers in your hand. It's like, "kindness is its own reward". Generocity is rewarding. Generocity is abundance.

It feels nice to say "I am self-made." Although there is little truth to it. We need timing/luck, place/opportunity, and people/community (天时地利人和) to succeed and excel. Together, we achieve real abundance. Abundance belongs to us all.

Many of us say "protect my boundary", like a mantra. To protect our boundaries, first of all, we need to understand what is a boundary and how it feels when a boundary is crossed.

In Chinese culture, 距离产生美 (jù lí chǎn shēng měi), or "distance creates beauty", is an expression of how stepping back or staying away a little bit can actually generate appreciation, understanding, perspective, and beauty.

Busy, or busyness, in Chinese, it is 忙 (máng). 忙 is made of the radical for “heart” (on the left) and the word “death” or “dying“ (on the right). In Chinese, busy literally looks like "heart dying". When we are perpetually busy, our heart will lose its spark, and it will die out slowly. Lots of stress related diseases are also heart related. Being busy all the time is quite literally killing us slowly.

Let's all be less busy, do less, and just be sometimes. Give our body, mind, and heart a break.

Generosity is a vital part of the Abundance Mindset ecosystem. It means that we believe "there is enough for everyone and there is enough if we share." It also means "we give without expectation or attachment", aka, no string attached. Generosity is different from negotiation, diplomacy, exchange, trade, do a favor, or making a deal. It is an action that says, "I want you to do well and I want to support you. At the same time, I want nothing in return." (note: generosity is not saviorism)

Generosity is also a flowing energy, it is reciprocal. We give and we receive. It is important to allow ourselves to receive generosity, as well. Otherwise, the balance between giving and receiving is off.

Belonging is a hyper-used word today. "We value belonging" "Everyone belongs here", etc. What does belonging mean? Who always belong? Whose belonging is it? How do we ensure belonging for everyone? Belonging is a signal in the world of Abundance. When we feel belong, we feel accepted, celebrated, cared for, joyous, safe, warm... and abundant.

We say, "I hope..." a lot. Oftentimes, when we talk about hope, it's about an idea, or a wish. Hope, importantly, is a verb. Active Hope, or Hope in Action, is an essential part of the Abundance Mindset ecosystem.

In this episode, we talk about: Hope is not wishful thinking; Hope is not simplified manifestation; Hope can be spiritual; and, Hope lives on.

We wrote an article about active hope, as well: https://www.intersectional.group/post/hope-is-a-verb-in-the-abundance-mindset-ecosystem

Gratitude isn't simplified positivity. It is being able to acknowledge how hard life can be, and still be grateful and thankful for what we have. The practice of Gratitude helps us recenter and reground ourselves, reduce the influence of ego and the "me me me" thinking, and remove the "victim" ideation from our mindset. Gratitude allows us to see the beauty of humanity and the world. It is, indeed, a crucial part of the Abundance Mindset.
