A Secret About Gratitude

What do you think of when I ask you to tell me what you're grateful for? Think about it for a minute. I said before that gratitude is the switch, if you will, that opens the flood gates of abundance in your life. This is true. But I discovered an upgrade. You see, when I ask you that question of what are you grateful for in your life, you're probably thinking of things that you already have. Right? Be honest. You're grateful for your health, your family, your friends, your vocation, or whatever it is that you're grateful for. Those are the things that we think about when we are asked that question.

But here's the secret. If you're only grateful for what you already have, then you're only going to get more of that. However, when you are grateful for your goals and your dreams, you accelerate their manifestation in your life.

For example, what issues do you have in your life right now that you'd really like to solve? Maybe there's a health issue, a relationship issue, a job issue, or whatever it is. How do you wish that issue to resolve itself? Close your eyes and envision in your mind's eye what is it that you'd like to see happen with whatever the issue is. Okay? You got it? Now, envision it in detail. Feel it as real, now, like it has already happened, and express gratitude for it being real right now. And guess what? If you practice that enough on a daily basis, you are going to accelerate the manifestation of whatever it is that you want in your life.

Consider this practice a form of prayer, right? Praying for the outcome of something that you want to have happen, but really having gratitude for the prayer already being answered - for it being real now. I trust you can practice this and see what happens. Be ready for miracles in your life!

That's all for this week. Talk to you soon.
