Guy stops you on the street to play a trivia game. Asks you a question. If you get it right, you win $1k. You get it right. Hands you the money. You walk away with a smile on your face feeling great for the rest of the day Now assume you get it right, but there's a second part. If you get the next question right, you win $10k. You can decide if you want to keep playing or not. You say no, and walk away with the $1k. But the guy reveals what the question would've been. Turned out to be an easy one. Had you said yes, you would've won the $10k In both scenarios, you're $1k richer. But in the second scenario, you walk away feeling like you screwed up. You can't help but think about all the things you could've done with the $10k. It makes you focus on all the reasons your life is worse for not having the $10k Random example with random numbers, but the point is, this is actually happening to you every day. You made money, but what if you had done this, or what if you hadn't done that. You got something you wanted, but you could've gotten more. You feel pretty good, but maybe you don't feel good enough. Luck graces you perpetually, but it's never the right amount of luck Good things are always coming into your life. But are you allowing them to fill you with a sense of appreciation, or are you creating additional scenarios in your head for what could've been. Whenever the scarcity hits, think about this
