Gratitude teaches abundance without requiring excess.

Abundance is usually assumed to be a quantity. In practice it is a relationship between what you have and what you notice, which is why people with a great deal can feel short and people with little can feel full. Gratitude works on the noticing side, which is the side you can actually change.

Instead of adding, try counting what is already there in specific terms. Not a list of blessings but a real inventory of what your life currently contains. Excess is not required for the feeling of enough.
