Are you one of those people who want your life to change so bad you can just taste it? Your not alone! But, have you ever wondered if there was something that you are causing to make things stay the way they are? Sure, we have all heard about taking action.
But what do you do when nothing comes in your head to take action on? Or better yet, what if you have taken action and things simply remain the same? When you take action and nothing happens, this can be extremely frustrating. What if I were to tell you a secret that is so simple and easy. Would you want this kind of help?
Actually it really is not a secret at all. It has been here since the beginning of time itself! Want to know what it is? It is a very simple statement.
It is called “THANK YOU!”
There, I said it. Do you know that by simply stating that you are thankful can make a bad situation a good one? You are probably thinking “yeah, right!” I want you to look at your life right now. Look at your past life. What did you have then? What do you have now? What do you want? Is it a new job? Is it a new house? Is it new furniture? Can you answer this question that I am going to ask you honestly?
Did you say thank you for what you already have in your life? How often do you say thank you for what you currently have? Do you know that by simply saying you are thankful for something shows the sincerity in your heart, and by that it causes a chain reaction to vibrate out of you. And then return unto you more of what you already have?
Or sometimes even better?
Let me give you an example. Do you want to be stress free? Then simply say,”I am so thankful for having a stress free life.” The more you are truly showing gratitude, the more you will find your life becoming less stressful. The same goes with anything else. Are you truly grateful for your food? Are you expressing this gratefulness daily? What about your clothes, car, house, etc? If you want change to take place, the greatest action you can take begins right now by saying thank you for what you already have.
Have you heard of the Law of Attraction? If you have not, we can guide you to the resources that will teach you all about it. The Law of Attraction is taught all the way through your bible. All religions have this same teaching, but with different names. It is unavoidable.
What you think is what you get. Do you expect to receive a better life if you are not grateful for the one you have now? Gratefulness must come in advance. As you look in the mirror, so also should your gratefulness be a reflection of that which you want in your life. Does this make sense to you? All of us in our lives are affected by what we think. The condition of your life today is what you was thinking yesterday.
Ever heard of reap what you sow? Or, Out of the same mouth goes forth blessing and cursing? Now apply this to gratitude. Gratitude is a positive affirmation. It does not destroy. It builds. It reflects that which you want. If you are not grateful, you are in essence affirming that you do not want more in life. I have studied for years how to be what I want in life. I could have chosen a bad life, or a good life.
I chose the good life. And I set myself to finding how to get there. In my search GRATITUDE was on the top of the list. It is a spiritual, physical and real force that really affects our lives whether we want it to or not. This is why we must change our minds to change our lives. You can do what I have done. Anyone is capable of doing it.
I have read many authors and many books. I have learned the many errors and the many truths. And my dream started coming true when I applied the truth I was learning. And that is when I realized most of all that I was grateful for all of my failures and my successes. These got me to where I am today. Those in religion call it praise. I call it that too. But I also know the power in the word gratitude. Now, How are you going to react?
In the law of attraction, we MUST, and I repeat, MUST, be feeling in advance that which we are wanting. For example, lets say that you want a successful business, then you MUST have your feelings in alignment with that success. Having negative feelings will not bring your desires to pass. But feeling joy in advance is quite different.
Imagine receiving a million dollars right now. You will have JOY, will you not?
Now turn it around. If you are wanting to be a millionaire, then you should be feeling that same joy of getting the money in advance, even before you receive it. It is Gratitude taking place before the event does. Having the joy and gratitude UP FRONT is attracting into your life that which you seek. Are you starting to get what I mean by saying that gratitude is the beginning of change?
Now if you have no gratitude up front, then you are unknowingly NOT believing for the life you are wanting. The more grateful you are, the more in touch with your desires you are going to be. It is that simple. Not difficult at all. Now your desires may not come to pass overnight, because it does take a reprogramming of your mind to bring everything to pass.
But nevertheless, it all must begin with gratitude. If you have nothing to be grateful for, then your goals are nothing more than dreams, and will remain dreams until you get yourself into alignment with the goals you are pursuing. Gratitude is gasoline in your spiritual tank, and it will keep you going through even tough times. Think about it dear reader, your life is worth it!
Having gratitude is the biggest part of the law of attraction. It is rubbing the genie bottle if you will. We all need answers. If you need yours, then please feel free to look at what I have set up for you. Not only will you feel gratitude, but you will also learn how to self help yourself, and to have that better life you have always wanted. Click below and see for yourself. It is your call. http://simplythebestbooks.viviti.com/change-begins-with-gratitude
Thank you and have a blessed day!
