In this episode, the guys talk about Scarcity. Scarcity is the notion that if someone else has something, there’s less of it for me. This idea is in direct opposition to feelings of abundance and prosperity. Scarcity shows up with money, relationships, love and more. Rick and Keith talk about experiences in their life when they operated from a space of scarcity and how they moved towards a spirit of abundance.

Rick’s Reference:

Law of Attraction: The law of attraction (LOA) is the belief that the universe creates and provides for you that which your thoughts are focused on. It is believed by many to be a universal law by which “Like Always Attracts like.” The results of positive thoughts are always positive consequences. The same holds true for negative thoughts always leading to bad outcomes. But the LOA is much more than generalizations; thinking about red Lamborghinis will bring you red Lamborghinis – always. To the believers, questioning the validity of the LOA is akin to heresy and blasphemy; it creates religious fervor. To the uninitiated, it may seem silly to discuss even the possibility that such a law could exist.

Keith’s Reference:

The Secret is a 2006 film consisting of a series of interviews designed to demonstrate the “New Thought” claim that everything one wants or needs can be satisfied by believing in an outcome, repeatedly thinking about it, and maintaining positive emotional states to “attract” the desired outcome.

The censored version of the film and the subsequent publication of the book attracted interest from media figures such as Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres, and Larry King. It has also received a great deal of controversy and criticism for its claims, and has been parodied in TV shows.
