Hi %$firstname$% -
The Law of Gratitude
One of the most empowering things you
can do for yourself is to appreciate who you are and what you have. You might
even take your gratitude as far as being thankful for your problems, because
therein lies the opportunity to grow. The process is called, counting your
blessings.
If you will create a list of all the
things about your life that you can be thankful for, and then add to that list
every night before you go to bed, you will find that list growing larger every
day.
There is a spiritual reason for that
phenomenon.
Gratitude is actually a
spiritual law in action.
Almost every week, I remind you that
two spiritual laws govern your life; Spiritual Laws are the Rules of the Game!
-
The Law of Being: We become what we
think about.
-
The Law of Attraction: You attract who and
what belongs in your life as a result of your BEING choices.
To be in charge of your life, you must understand and
apply those two laws in the managing of your life. Otherwise, you will almost
certainly end up a victim of life's circumstances.
Once you've learned to apply those two laws in the solving
of life's problems, there's another spiritual law you will want to apply to your
life,
The Law of Gratitude. All spiritual laws have self-discovery as a primary
purpose, but
The Law of
Gratitude is probably the most powerful and the least understood of all.
The conscious application of spiritual laws to solve
life's problems (a BEING choice) is a step up in consciousness on every
occasion. In other words, by BEING The Solution, you become just a little more
consciously aware of whom you really are - an individualization of God.
Each time you've made a new BEING choice, spirit has come
alive in you to make that choice, and each time you created a new reality,
you've grown in consciousness.
What is really happening here is that each time you grow
in consciousness, you expand the channel through which your good must flow.
If you could see your self-concept or self-worth as a channel through which
prosperity in any form must flow, you should then realize that
changing your consciousness expands the channel.
Gratitude does more toward opening that channel than the
other spiritual laws, because
"Thank You"
confirms the having; it completes the BE DO HAVE for that
cycle.
A Gratitude Exercise, Try it for one week.
At night, before you go to bed, make a list of everything
you can think of to be thankful for. Keep that list and a pen next to your
nightstand. Read it out loud each evening, feeling thankful for each item on the
list. Then, before you put the list down, add new things that come to mind.
You'll be amazed at how the list grows and grows. As the list grows, your
self-worth and your self-confidence will grow.
