We are people, we make mistakes. What's important is what happens after we say or do something wrong or harmful. Accountability is abundance. 人非圣贤，孰能无过，过而能改，善莫大焉。Plus, we recommend adrienne mare brown's book: We Will Not Cancel Us.

Technology ensures that we have everything we want year round. As a result, we forget about seasonality. Paying attention to and follow the season is important for curating an abundance mindset. What is in season now? What will be in season soon? What season are we in in life? Follow the season is good for our physical and emotio...
In today's world, we easily judge others harshly. We jump to conclusion or point fingers as soon as we hear "I disagree". The way we show up to this world is a mirror to our inner world. We must accept ourselves and practice non-judgemental living so that we can accept others. When we have acceptance, we can show compassion and s...
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.
Thank you f...
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 ca...
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...
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...
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... ...
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 spi...
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...
Saying "I am sorry" can be hard. Taking accountability can be even harder. Our pride and ego can, sometimes, be our biggest obstacle when it comes to taking ownership of what we say and do. What if, making an apology and taking accountability is, in fact, a practice of the Abundance Mindset? What if, when we remove the judgement,...
Home is one of the symbols of Abundance. What is home? Where is home? How do we find our way home? Who is still searching for home? Home can be very literal, or very spiritual, or philosophical. The movie The Odyssey made me think about where we belong (belonging), land stewardship, and peace.

Many of us aspire or try hard to be self-sufficient. Some even wear it as a badge of honor. "I did it all by myself." As social animals, it is impractical, at times, even cruel, for us to expect everyone to be self-sufficient. It is scarcity-driven and ultra-individualistic. While we all strive to be independent people, it is als...
We don't talk about grief enough. Yes, grief is about death, loss, sadness, sorrow, disappointment, grievance, etc. Most importantly, grief is about love. For those who have loved deeply and profoundly, grief is the continuum, or a different form of love. Grief is not taboo or something to be ashamed of. Grief is love.

Love is a topic that always draws attention and interest. In addition to romantic love, there are familial love, community love, and the big love. Love is a symbol of Abundance. It is proof that "we are enough" because "we are loved". What if love isn't something needs seeking, but readily available to all? What if, love is in th...
"In solidarity" is in a lot of email signatures these days. What does it mean? Why do we say it? If we are in solidarity with someone or some community, what is expected? What is solidarity economy and how to identify it? In practice, how do we "do" solidarity economy? Solidarity is an important part of the Abundance Mindset valu...
We hear "it takes a village to..." a lot. But what is a village? What does a village mean to us? Who builds the village? Who lives in the village? Village building is relationship building. It is reciprocal. To have a village, we need to be an active villager.

Resentment and bitterness are strong words and strong feelings. The underlying cause of resentment and bitterness is oftentimes fear and fearfulness. To ease and resolve resentment and bitterness, we need courage for that difficult conversation, openness for empathy and compassion, as well as willingness to apologize and be accou...
When we experience joy, we experience abundance. Joy is associated with fulfillment, contentment, satisfaction, gratitude, generosity, delight, love... Experiencing joy in big or small moments in life, is a way of practicing the Abundance Mindset and living an abundant life. And don't forget a bun dance when you feel joy!
Thank...
