💰 To understand asset-framing, you first have to take in its profoundly intuitive opposite, which is the way we’ve largely been living: deficit-framing.
💰 Habit of seeing deficits — and of defining people in need in terms of their problems. This has not only doomed some of our best efforts to failure — it leaves all of us prone to cynicism and hopelessness.
💰 Asset framing is all about not defining ourselves, or people, by their challenges. Once we acknowledge people’s aspirations, before going into what’s holding them back, we are telling a real story of who they really are.

💰 Yet, as we grow older, we reach a point at which we are no longer interested in discovering new things. We run on autopilot, rely on our old assumptions and stop asking questions.
💰Curiosity can be thought of as a cognitive muscle that has to be constantly nurtured and fed with new knowledge in order for it to grow and flourish. If you can master this art, then you’ll have a greater chance at being more fulfilled in your job, at home as well as boost your financial wellbeing.
