We may not think we have a morning ritual, but we do. Guilty as charged!
- “I didn’t get enough sleep.”
- “I don’t have enough time.”
Lynne Twist, author of The Soul of Money, says we unwittingly think those two scarcity themed thoughts every day, before we do or think about anything else. “Before we even sit up in bed, before our feet touch the floor, we’re already inadequate, already behind, already losing, already lacking something . . . what begins as a simple expression of a hurried life, or even the challenged life, grows into the great justification for an unfulfilled life.”

Twist emphasizes pointing thoughts in the direction of gratitude:
- When you hone in on something, you naturally notice it more at the cost of whatever else is in the landscape.
- Consistently come from a place of enough to cultivate a steady sense of gratitude and naturally give.
