The Art of Abundance with Dr. Ryan Wohlfert
Health is the optimal functioning of your body.
Health is the optimal functioning of your body. Physically, chemically, emotionally, spiritually, mentally - all those things together. Health is not just “okay I’m not sick” or “I don’t have symptoms” or “I feel good” or “I look good”. It’s more than that. It’s a higher state of wellness and being.

What is the Abundance Mindset?
John Maxwell, Peter Diamandis, and Tony Robbins all emphasize a mindset of abundance. Steven Covey discusses abundance extensively in "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People." However, the dictionary does not define an abundance mindset.
To define and understand the abundance mindset, it is easiest to look at the alternative, scarcity. The person with a scarcity or fixed mindset believes life is a zero-sum game. If someone has more, this means someone else must have less.
The abundance mindset is different. It is the belief in a life of plenty. There is more than enough to go around. Whether it is resources, wealth, health, or opportunity, there is an abundance of resources available.
In the words of Tony Robbins,
Success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure
