The key is that this can’t be done in order to get something because looking to “get” implies that you don’t have. When we focus only on having, we begin to see more “having” in all aspects of our life.
The truth is that we never lack anything, however much it might appear otherwise. Gratitude just opens our eyes to see this fact. It’s rather like when you’ve never seen a particular kind of car before, something happens, you become aware of this kind of car, and suddenly see it everywhere.
Gratitude is something that needs to be practiced and requires vigilance. When attention wanders to what we think we need or want, we need to pause and bring our focus back, “Wait! What do I already have?” And continue to look to all we have until we feel genuinely grateful. The feeling of gratitude is necessary, not just the words.
Just a little warning: You might want to carry more tissues because this practice can make your eyes leak a lot.
