  You're fundraising mindset is...

  You believe that there is more than enough in the world for everyone. There is enough food, there is enough money, there is enough potential and opportunity -- sometimes systems need to be created to ensure access to every resource for every person... but ultimately, there is more than enough to go around, we only need to take action and inspire action in others. You're driven by certainty and problem-solving through challenges. The word "no" is not something you easily accept, and you're often ready for a good debate or conversation about the things you believe in. You feel joy when others succeed around you, and equally, you don't feel the need to hide in the shadows so others can shine. There's enough sunshine for everyone to get some of the spotlight!

  You believe it's possible that there's enough in the world, but it's not always easy to find and it's probably not going to be easy getting it. You know that some challenges are easier for others, and sometimes it's okay to sit back and simply say "I tried, and it just wasn't for me." You sometimes waver between feeling full of energy and ready to leap out of your comfort zone, to going right back into your safety zone and waiting out the moment of possible discomfort. You look for inspiration and motivation often to stay on track, and sometimes your own self-talk can lead you to backing out of things. You're empathetic and great at acknowledging success in others, because you know how incredible it feels to receive notice and kind works for your victories in life! People look to you for connection and support, and you think about the effect on others' feelings before taking action.

  You tend to believe there are limited resources in the world, and that's just life. Simply "taking action" cannot change reality, and trying to convince yourself that it can could lead to disappointment, offending others, or taking unnecessary risks. You sometimes compare yourself to others, and may feel insecure when others seem to move up in their careers, relationships, and life while you remain "in the same place." Your self talk is focused on doing more and being better at things, so your language can sometimes sound like "I need to do more," or "I'm not qualified enough." Striving for more and better is not a negative way of thinking! However, this process can sometimes leave you feeling unfulfilled or even less capable than others. The good news is – there are a few small adjustments you can make in your thoughts and your language to shift yourself into a more wishful or abundant mindset!
