I am Walter and created Beyond Scarcity Life to help you move from surviving in life to an abundant mindset.
When you experience abundance, you are happy, trust life, and have the emotional bandwidth to spread positivity, love, and energy to help others. Together we make the world a better place!
Right now, you are in the passenger seat of your own life. What you learn here empowers you in life. You become the driver!
How? The root issue is your belief system. When you are aware of your limiting beliefs, you can remove them and even turn them into assets.
My Story
I went through different mindsets in my life, from a (semi) abundant life to feeling poor and back to an abundant life.
It started around the age of 10. Archeology fascinated me at the time, and I wanted to become an archeologist. I read some books and even attended an introductory course.
At first, my parents supported my enthusiasm. But a few years later, they told me that I couldn’t make ends meet if I became an archeologist. I followed their advice because they were (subconsciously) an authority to me.
Naturally, I was disappointed, but I quickly shifted my interest towards science. Due to the importance money played in this switch of interests, becoming rich was my primary activity in life. Studying became secondary.
During my high school years, my parents sprinkled me with more money beliefs: “Only a lucky few will become rich” and “you can’t have a loving relationship and be wealthy.” This time, I didn’t believe what they told me.
I took some newspaper routes and later other jobs to earn money. At 16, I started to invest my hard-earned money. Many books on investing later, I earned great money. I was able to stop working at the age of 21 after pocketing life-changing money.
I was happy to achieve what I set out to do. I reluctantly continued my studies and graduated at the age of 24. Two weeks later, I moved out. So far, my semi-abundant life. (I call it semi-abundant because I had money but still had a scarcity mindset.)
In my life, the belief “life is expensive” was repeated a lot. So, when I lived on my own, I started to be more conscious of my spending. I didn’t have a stable salary, as mine comes from irregular profits of investments spanning years. Thus, fears around money crept in.
I didn’t feel as secure as when I lived with my parents, and I felt poor. It may shock you, but it is possible to have plenty of money and feel poor.
A few months later, I met my now wife. For some reason, I believed in my teenage years that women cost money (sorry for the offense). This belief and “life is expensive” shaped my reality for the next few years.
One day, my wife introduced me to the concept of beliefs and how they shape reality. I developed a fascination with beliefs and the psychology behind them.
During these years, I saw my bank balance slowly drain lower and lower. I started to cling to what I had, resulting in “losing” more money. Investing supported my life, but I didn’t acknowledge that. I was blind to what came in and only saw what went out. I came up with failing side hustles just to generate some stable income.
Finally, limiting beliefs around not earning enough got dissolved and replaced by a positive belief. I trusted again that the universe provides enough for me.
Since that moment, I also regained the energy to give. In the months afterwards, I got a strong urge to share my experience and knowledge to help you.
Why helping through the Belief System
Since I wanted to help others, I wondered how I could help others best. In the past, I tried to share my investing knowledge. Only after fully understanding the concept of the belief system did I know that investing knowledge doesn’t empower you.
I can give you all the investing information you need to be successful, but your success depends on your belief system. So why not help you understand the root cause?
When you understand how to work on your belief system, you can apply it to every aspect of your life, like relationships and health.
I collected my thoughts and share them here with you on your journey towards a positively abundant life!
