Excerpt from BEING GRATEFUL, BEING THANKFUL
Wherever you are in life, wherever you are right at this
moment you have much to be thankful.
You likely hear the words “thank you” as much as you say and hear the words I'm
sorry in a day, but it's important to listen to it and say it with meaning. To
truly be grateful is to appreciate where you are and where you've been, so that
you can know where you will be going and as well as how to get there.
With the Law of Attraction being on everyone's mind, it
seems the world still finds it challenging to think in the positive and be
appreciative of where they are and what they have. If you struggle with this,
or if you don't really, this book is for you.
Not every chapter may be relevant to you at the time you
read it, I encourage you to read it. You may read the chapters in any order you
choose; I do encourage you to read them all for greatest effect.
Why? Let's say, for instance, you don't currently have your
drivers license, so at first you think it silly to be thankful for that. Take a
moment and wonder if you would ever like to have your license. To have that
independence and freedom to grab the keys and go when you're ready and not when
you can afford a cab or at the whim of another driver. Reading this chapter now
will send your intention to your future so it understands how wonderful you
will feel when you have your license.
Life is about feeling- something science nor religion can
ever truly explain. When you experience gratitude, even in just a small dose,
your vibrations are on alert and you smile a little. Standing a little bit
taller, you suddenly feel proud and good, no matter who you are, and in doing
so reflect this genuine feeling back to others around you.
What would happen if everyone appreciated everything for
their experience and what it had to teach them? Quite literally, the world is
already filled with energy, so this would work to amplify that magnificence to
eventually heal the world.
We all think we want more time in our day. Envy the younger
generation for their ability to wake up playing and continue to play all day,
if we'd let them. Many of us say we'd be able to play if only we didn't have to
drain ourselves to pay the bills
This attitude stops now.
My request of you is to begin posting a thank you to someone
in your life on a daily basis. Through social media we can all easily show
appreciation and make someone's day a little better with just a few words of
public gratitude.
