Openhearted gratitude acts like a magnet, bringing more joy and abundance into your experience.
\”Gratitude turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity…it makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.\”
~Melody Beattie~
You are the master of your own experience. You choose: happiness or misery, lack or abundance, gratitude or resentment. All that you wish to manifest must begin with a willingness to receive.
With each expression of gratitude, we send purposeful energy outward. It gathers momentum, expands exponentially and returns in miraculous ways. You may discover the art of being grateful for something that has yet to occur as if it is already solid and present in your experience. This joyful and powerful visualization becomes reality.
Where many people become stuck is in the timing of what they perceive as appropriate. When we believe that our very human perception of time is more important than the perfect timing of the Universe, gratitude is sometimes negated by impatience. Thoughts such as \”I\’m doing everything right, why isn\’t anything happening!!\” can sabotage our best efforts.
Remind yourself that the journey unfolds in whatever way is most appropriate for your souls growth. Do your daily work, be consistent, never stop learning. Your life\’s purpose is to awaken.
Today my intention is to be grateful for 10,000 things.
