Waiting More Than a Dozen Years

[Walking]

I've been reading lately about how our perception of life colours our reality. It reinforces some of the stuff you were saying to me a few months ago.

One interesting idea I keep coming across (in keeping with the economic theme) is the difference in perception between scarcity and abundance.

There is a view that if we perceive our life in terms of the scarcity of a resource, emotion, relationship etc - that's exactly what we'll get. If we turn it around and expect abundance - that's what we'll get.

I've been trying it out, expecting abundance rather than scarcity - and there seems to be something to it.

I hear what your saying about considering the worse loss scenario – and I hear you saying you wonder if a life outside of your marriage would indeed have any less ‘scarcity’ (sex, money, other resources) than your current life. Seems to me – you get to decide that. You could leave your marriage and continue to live a life scarce in sex, love, resources – or you could receive all the things you want in abundance …. It’s up to you.
