ABUNDANCE
Excerpt From Relationships That Work: The Power Of Conscious Living
- By David B. Wolf
An abundance mentality is a strategy for living. This frame of mind allows us to see possibilities in each situation. A scarcity mentality is the opposite of the paradigm of abundance. Approaching life from scarcity, we focus on difficulties in every opportunity, whereas a paradigm of abundance realizes opportunities in every difficulty. People coming from a place of abundance are storehouses of fresh ideas and exude a natural confidence.
The framework of the three modes of nature described in the first part of this book can assist us in understanding different relationships with abundance. In the mode of sattva, I assume that if I act in harmony with principles of integrity and my intrinsic propensities, I will experience abundance in my life. The abundance that I receive, I naturally handle with respect and responsibility, understanding that satisfaction is not obtained by increasingly acquiring material goods through unnecessary activity. In the rajas mode I would equate money with feeling powerful and happy—although such assumptions repeatedly lead to excessive anxiety, lack of fulfillment and diminished self-respect. The Bhagavad Gita describes a person in this mode as “constantly desiring to desire,”18 without reference to the satisfaction and peace that lie within. Influenced by tamas, I would maintain a careless, reckless attitude, using money in a neglectful and wasteful manner, perhaps for addictive and destructive purposes.
An abundance mindset genuinely celebrates the accomplishments, victories and qualities of others. Living from abundance, we realize that there is more than sufficient joy, recognition and resources for everyone. Our sense of self-value is not derived from comparison, but rather from a secure and intrinsic experience of our worth. In abundance, my success is not dependent on the failure of someone else.
A paradigm of abundance actualizes as a win-win approach to relationships. Win-win means I assume that the success of others enhances my success, and my wins contribute to the well-being of others. From a perspective of win-win, I am committed to victory for everyone. Consider the following example. A small company has one vehicle. One manager is responsible to ensure that a shipment is delivered across town by 10 a.m., while the other manager has three clients to visit by the same time. In win-win consciousness there is no conflict or tension between these people. Neither is thinking, “I need the vehicle this morning.” Rather, there is a cooperative attitude of, “How can we both fulfill our responsibilities?” Neither manager actually needs the vehicle. What both managers actually need is for the merchandise to be delivered, and for all three clients to be treated with integrity. With the managers brainstorming together for the maximum benefit of their joint venture, they will likely arrive at several innovative ideas that meet everyone’s needs.
A win-lose paradigm assumes that if someone else wins, then I lose; or that if I win, then someone else loses. With reference to the above scenario, a manager with win-lose assumptions might think, “The other manager has had use of the vehicle for the past three days. I need it this morning. If he doesn’t deliver his shipment on time, that’s too bad for him. It’s not my problem.” A lose-win model of interaction could sound like this: “Okay, you take the vehicle. I guess I’ll just give up on those accounts I was hoping for, like I usually do…” (Thinking, “I’ll be the loser again. I’m used to it.”) Lose-win—rooted in personal insecurity—conveys the message that while your voice and needs matter, mine do not. This attitude is often accompanied by concealed resentment and hostility.
Lose-lose takes things further, where I act to take both of us down, ensuring success for nobody. With this mentality, one manager may view the other as an enemy, and while conceding the vehicle for the morning, may make plans for sabotaging the efforts of the other manager. Other variations of these relationships to success and winning include play-not-to-lose, which is a survival strategy focused on not losing rather than actually living vitally and winning, and don’t-play, where my fear of failure prevents me from any chance at success or true fulfillment.
We can conceive of win-lose as a rajasic approach to relationship, whereas lose-lose or lose-win mentalities—which require even less commitment than win-lose—are primarily influenced by the mode of tamas. Win-win entails sattvic consciousness, where we stand for our convictions while honoring those of others. It requires deep commitment because it is founded on a determination that everyone will be satisfied. This requires dedication to high-level communication, where we take responsibility not just for what we say, but for how our communication is received and the effect it has. Win-win synthesizes principles of empathy, assertiveness and clear intention to create profoundly satisfying results both interpersonally and professionally.
EXAMINING OUR ASSUMPTIONS
Excerpt From Relationships That Work: The Power Of Conscious Living
- By David B. Wolf
Awareness of our assumptions, or belief systems, enables us to consider whether they actually work for us. It also allows us to be open to alternative, more satisfying possibilities for viewing ourselves and the world. Being conscious of our assumptions helps us to take responsibility for changing them, or purposefully utilizing them, rather than giving power to our belief systems to determine our life from beneath the conscious surface.
One of my assumptions is the conviction that we are inherently spiritual persons, whose nature is to serve. Another assumption I embrace is that each of us possesses the capacity to handle our lives with a high level of effectiveness. By expression of our innate qualities we are able to produce extraordinary results in our life.
Presuppositions can filter our perception of reality, often preventing us from accessing our facility for conscious choice. Let us take a look at how this process conceals awareness.
I recollect an experiment in an undergraduate cognitive psychology class. We, the approximately two dozen students, were the subjects. The professor showed us a film, about a minute long, of a staged robbery on a city street. Afterwards each student completed a questionnaire of 20 closed-ended items. The questions dealt with details of the movie crime we had just witnessed, including items such as “Did the robber have a gun?”, “Did the robbery victim hold her purse in her left hand?”, “and “Did you notice a bakery on the street?” Next to each “yes” or “no” response we indicated whether we were “not sure” or “sure” about our response, and, if we were sure, whether we would be willing to give this response as testimony under oath in court. After again viewing the film and tallying results we found that every person in the class had been willing to testify to at least one lie.
Unexamined assumptions, instead of facilitating our understanding of reality, serve as a barrier to a fresh experience of reality. We can extend this to our life, where often we do not experience a situation as it is, or a person as he is, because we have already assumed how it must be, or what she must be like.
With transformative communication and spiritual empowerment we assist you in conscious living, in living life intentionally, not accidentally. It’s vitally important to determine whether we are living life out of unconscious habit, or whether we are consciously choosing this way of being and acting because it genuinely works for us.
To grow we need to examine our assumptions, about ourselves, relationships, abundance, and each aspect of existence. This process involves challenging the limitations of our worldview, and our view of what is possible for us to achieve. Frequently those limitations are composed of self-created conceptions and perceptions. Perceptions are powerful. They create restrictions as well as opportunities
From Natalie Marie Saltmarsh
Some of my realizations so far:
- The care & empathy I’ve received since the workshop + follow up phone calls + seminar fills me with gratitude + awe. Thank you!
- Tapped into my sensitivity + vulnerability in a safe environment + I am inspired to go further …at the advanced course in April.
- Learned tools to take responsibility for my broken agreements + awareness of the grungies + payoffs, so I can transform and instead be in my integrity w/ honesty + trust.
- “Have to” — “Get To”
- I am renewed, transformed, and thankful. The Satvatove in me greets + thanks the Satvatove in you.

Excellence
Below is an excerpt from a letter I wrote to a coaching client.
“With respect to ‘excellence’, I don’t regard this as something that is essentially expressed with some external result, though it could manifest that way. Excellence is a way of being. My perspective is that our responsibility is to live in correct principles, such as striving for excellence, empathy, assertiveness, be-do-have, clear intention, accountability and consciousness in the result. Living in those principles is itself success. We are not the Supreme Controller, and thus external results, in a sense, are not ultimately under our control. Living in alignment with principles of personal growth, we want to also cultivate healthy non-attachment from results. Such non-attachment is different from apathy. In non-attachment we give full effort, with deep caring.”
