I'm not sure what research there is on the validity of the claim, but I have found adopting the belief biases my mind toward seeing ways to accomplish my goals with available resources or uncommon ways to get my hands on what I need. This reminds me of this article about using landfills for raw materials. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/03/180323090958.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/03/180323090958.h...
