The Abundance Illusion

Full tank of gas? It’s NASCAR, baby! Let’s go!

Running on empty? Drive it like Grandpa stole it.


New tube of Toothpaste? gimmie all the mint!

End of the tube? squeeze it, roll it, press it until you get that last little bit, and that’s good enough to brush with.

Same with shampoo. Or soap. Or anything else in a tube or bottle or container.


We don’t realize how little we truly need until the stockpile is nearing depletion.

In most cases we can’t truly know what remains. Any idea how many fish are left in the ocean? I certainly don’t. Yet our default is to the abundance mindset, believing the cache is bountiful, when in most cases it isn’t.

 You require much less than you realize. Pay attention. Use less.
