It is said that no condition of mind is more effective in getting you what you want, than being thankful for what you already have.
Being grateful and saying ‘thank you’ gets you closer to the giver of things, more than anything else. It creates the positive energy that brings you in harmony with powerful force of creativity – clearing your way to receiving more and more of blessings.
This has been the most common discovery among all the great minds in history: expressing gratitude for what you have gets you and more and more of blessings.
Start every morning with saying “ I am so grateful for what I have, that I am alive, that I am”
You must think about all the good things you have. You don’t have to compare yourself with those who have more or less than you. That comparison is not truly being grateful. You should be thankful for all the blessings that you have, period.
You are uniquely gifted and blessed by your Creator and what you have should be the source of contentment, peace and gratitude in your heart. That is true gratitude and your link with the source of blessings. Such acknowledgement of your gifts, will also give you a clear understanding and confidence about the purpose of your life.
Giving and sharing
Another expression of our gratitude is giving, sharing with others whatever we are blessed with
Once you start opening up to the idea of giving and sharing what you have, you place yourself in the ‘cycle of nature’. This cycle or circle, works in the way that the more you give, the more or better comes back to you.
The whole system of universe starts recognizing you as someone who does not ‘stop the cycle’ by holding on to what is given to you, but as someone who ‘facilitates the flow’ by giving and sharing what you have. Once you are recognized as such, the floodgates of blessings are opened for you.
This is the quickest route to getting cleared inside: to know and say that you are asking for blessings for yourself and also to share it with others.
This giving is not limited to money. But giving it is actually sharing whatever you have – your time, your talents, your abilities, money, whatever you are blessed with.
Now lets see some great excerpts on Getting clear, Gratitude, Forgiveness and how it all relates to law of attraction . . .
Joe Vitale – (Spiritual Marketing, The Attractor Factor – 1999, 2005)
One of the most powerful energies you can ever experience is gratitude. Feel gratefulness for anything and you shift the way you feel. Feel thankful for your life, your lungs, your home, this book; it doesn’t matter. Once you feel grateful, you are in an energy that can create miracles.
Wallace D. Wattles – (The Science of Getting Rich - 1910)
The whole process of mental adjustment and atonement can be summed up in one word, gratitude.
First, you believe that there is one Intelligent Substance, from which all things proceed; second, you believe that this Substance gives you everything you desire; and third, you relate yourself to it by a feeling of deep and profound gratitude
Many people who order their lives rightly in all other ways are kept in poverty by their lack of gratitude. Having received one gift from God, they cut the wires which connect them with Him by failing to make acknowledgment.
The nearer we live to the source of wealth, the more wealth we shall receive; and it is easy also to understand that the soul that is always grateful lives in closer touch with God than the one which never looks to Him in thankful acknowledgment.
The more gratefully we fix our minds on the Supreme when good things come to us, the more good things we will receive, and the more rapidly they will come; and the reason simply is that the mental attitude of gratitude draws the mind into closer touch with the source from which the blessings come.
The good things you already have come to you along the line of obedience to certain laws. Gratitude will lead your mind out along the ways by which things come; and it will keep you in close harmony with creative thought and prevent you from falling into competitive thought
The grateful outreaching of your mind in thankful praise to the Supreme is a liberation or expenditure of force; it cannot fail to reach that to which it addressed, and the reaction is an instantaneous movement towards you.
And if your gratitude is strong and constant, the reaction in Formless Substance will be strong and continuous; the movement of the things you want will be always toward you.
The grateful mind is constantly fixed upon the best; therefore it tends to become the best; it takes the form or character of the best, and will receive the best
It is necessary, then, to cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you; and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.
Do not rage against corrupt politicians; if it were not for politicians we should fall into anarchy, and your opportunity would be greatly lessened. Remember that they are all helping to arrange the lines of transmission along which your riches will come to you, and be grateful to them all. This will bring you into harmonious relations with the good in everything, and the good in everything will move toward you.
The man who can sincerely thank God for the things which as yet he owns only in imagination, has real faith. He will get rich; he will cause the creation of whatsoever he wants
When you are in doubt, wait. Fall back on the contemplation of your vision, and increase your faith and purpose; and by all means, in times of doubt and indecision, cultivate gratitude.
A day or two spent in contemplating the vision of what you want, and in earnest thanksgiving that you are getting it, will bring your mind into such close relationship with the Supreme that you will make no mistake when you do act
There is a mind which knows all there is to know; and you can come into close unity with this mind by faith and the purpose to advance in life, if you have deep gratitude
As you go on in the Certain Way, opportunities will come to you in increasing number; and you will need to be very steady in your faith and purpose, and to keep in close touch with the All Mind by reverent gratitude.
Whenever you find yourself hurrying, call a halt; fix your attention on the mental image of the thing you want, and begin to give thanks that you are getting it. The exercise of GRATITUDE will never fail to strengthen your faith and renew your purpose.
Frances Larimer Warner – (Our Invisible Supply - 1907)
Yes, we receive as we give, so a thank offering is helpful to the giver, as he then taps universal supply, as substance itself is the reality of all wealth.
We limit by withholding the symbol (money), as symbol and reality are one. Man only limits, Spirit never. Hold this thought for supply: "Since I am one with the only Presence, I cannot be separate from that which I desire."
As we give freely in just that measure is it "meted out to us again." Gifts of money are not always necessary, but some proof of faith should be made in order to open the way for our own continuous supply. "To him who hath shall be given" corroborates my argument that to feel that we have an abundance from which to give, surely sets flowing our invisible supply.
I will tell you one good way to coach your faith in abundance. Begin right now to use freely the means at hand, even if it is with an "Lord, help thou mine unbelief" In this way you will switch the old current of fear-thought and invite the opposite state of consciousness, belief in abundance.
