GRATITUDE by Linda Simmon, C.Ht.
Summer is a perfect time to take inventory of our lives and the perfect time to focus on the amazing and magical effects of thankfulness, appreciation and gratitude. If you want to be the magnetic force in your own life, to have wealth, love, joy, fulfillment, and more of whatever it is you want, then it is necessary to energetically align yourself with what is already flowing into your life.
1. Look for evidence of current prosperity, love, joy, fulfillment, etc.
2. Honor it, and finally
3. Invite more in.
In short, the more you acknowledge what you have, express gratitude for it and believe that you will be given more, the more the Universe rewards you.
Perhaps you’re at a crossroads of resistance to success, love, joy, or happiness. So frequently we resist what we want most. Facing a wall of resistance, what will you do? Will you gather all of the resources at your disposal and rise above it, or will you back away and let resistance win?
Gratitude is a powerful tool that helps you break down that wall of resistance. Gratitude can be used as a transformational tool that will shift your emotional state and increase your self-esteem.
According to Sara Paddison in The Hidden Power of the Heart: Discovering an Unlimited Source of Intelligence,"The word 'appreciation' means to be thankful and express admiration, approval or gratitude. It also means to grow or appreciate in value. As you appreciate life, you become more valuable - both to yourself and others."
Doc Childre and Sara Paddison take this a step further: "What you put out comes back. The more you sincerely appreciate life from the heart, the more the magnetic energy of appreciation attracts fulfilling life experiences to you, both personally and professionally."
Gratitude can literally and figuratively change your life. It allows you to tap into the transformative energies that are available to you. Being thankful can unlock the fullness of your life and make everything a bit sweeter and brighter and more joyful. As you appreciate your life, your passions and the uniqueness of who you are (including all experiences) you become more valuable to yourself and others and are able to attract even more fulfilling life experiences and joy.
So remember to gives thanks. Just say "thank you" and your world will be brighter and sweeter.
