Quotes on Asteya

“Finding the difference between wants and needs seems to be a difference in attitude to ‘what can I get: to ‘what can I give.”  “What can I get” is an attitude of wanting, possessing, and hoarding.  “What can I give” is instead an expression of giving care.  To give care to our body, self, others and nature.  As the old saying goes, when we give, we receive.”  Ingela

“People with a scarcity mentality tend to see everything in terms of win-lose.  There is only so much; and if someone else has it, that means there will be less for me.  The more principle-centered we become, the more we develop an abundance mentality, the more we are genuinely happy for the successes, well-being, achievements, recognition, and good fortune of other people.  We believe their successes  adds to…rather than detracts from..our lives.”  Steven R. Covey
