Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
In his book Stephen R. Covey talks about the scarcity versus abundance mindset. He stresses how vital it is as a viewpoint because it essentially shapes how you approach everything in your life. When you have a scarcity mindset, you carry the belief there is a limited amount of opportunities, experiences, and resources available for everyone.
Believing this can limit what you're able to achieve because you believe that there isn't enough, so it becomes a win-lose situation. You end up frantic and rushing to get where and what you need with the worry that someone else will beat you to it.
On the other hand the abundance mindset believes that there's enough for everybody. There are enough opportunities, resources, and experiences. Those who view the world as a place of abundance do not feel the pressing need to rush. Instead they make deliberate and careful choices that align with their values and the life they want to live. This mindset promotes the win-win idea, and that everyone will get what they need.

These mindsets are not limited, they extend to how you approach every aspect of your life, and you have the power to shift your mindset. Recognize possibilities, focus on learning, cooperation, being proactive and taking responsibility for your experiences.
Remember comparison is the thief of joy, and you are 100% deserving of the opportunities that come your way.
Stay strong, you got this!
