How to Find The Prosperity In Gratitude

Looking for prosperity? The following article contains some very sound advice on how to attract more of it into your life...

The Prosperity In Gratitude

The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies; but let the
thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds
the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly
blessings!
~Henry Ward Beecher

This is the time of year when we give thanks. It's the time
when we look around our lives and feel grateful for all that we
have. Our families, friends, and all of the love in our lives.
We are grateful for the work that we do. We look to see the
silver lining in all of our difficult situations, and feel
grateful for the opportunity to learn so much from. Did you
notice how abundant you felt when you were standing the in place
of all of that gratitude?

Gratitude is a powerful thing to exercise when we are looking
to create more abundance in our lives. Why? Because as we focus
on all that we are grateful for, we begin to feel more abundant,
and when we begin to feel more abundant we then begin to attract
flow of abundance in our lives. What you focus on grows. Like
attracts like. That's why you won't increase the abundance in
your life by focusing on all that you don't have.

There is a blessing for us in the loving expression of
gratitude. As we focus on what we have, we create more of it. As
we focus on on our joy, we create more of that. As we focus on
love, we indeed create more of that, and love is core and
central to all manifestation in our lives. When you create from
a place of love and intention your life will become more joyous
and rich that you could have ever expected.

We are all energetic beings - and the energetic vibration of
gratitude is one of the highest and purest vibrations available
to us. Love and gratitude go hand in hand. Sending out this kind
of pure positive energy into your life will bring more of that
back to you - it's universal law, it's the Law of Attraction.
Gratitude can start a positive momentum in your life that change
your life forever. When you begin having an "attitude of
gratitude" in your life, you jump start the process of
manifesting all of your desires.

The question is, "It's Thanksgiving, but, shouldn't we practice
gratitude all of the time?" The answer is yes! Especially if you
would like to create more joy, peace, and prosperity in your
life.

Integrating Gratitude Into Your Daily Life

1. Look for what you want to see vs. what you don't want to
see. To often we go about our day waiting and expecting awful
things to happen, or we expect to be disappointed. We walk
around saying, "I don't like this, and this, and this...." and
look for things that need changing. You would find that your
world may conform to more of your liking if you focused on what
you did indeed want to see. "I like this, I like that....oh and
I really love that!" What a shift in vibration, do you see?

2. Appreciate and be grateful about something about you. Be
grateful that you have a beautiful smile and a heart of gold. Be
grateful that you are a savvy business person, or that you are
inventive or intuitive. Be grateful that you are a wonderful
parent. Be grateful that you are not perfect. (Wouldn't that be
a bore?)

3 If its hard to find something to be grateful about yourself,
start by looking around your world and appreciating that. The
snow, the leaves, the sun. Look for beauty in your life. Focus
on the penny that you do have vs. the one that you don't.

4. Keep track of all the good things that happen to you in your
calendar or daily journal...even the little things. This affirms
that good things do come your way, and you can begin to trust in
God and the Universe as the source of your supply. Appreciate
the synchronicities that occur in your life, they were given to
you as a gift to affirm that you are indeed on the right path.

5. Want to see some fast results? For the next 30 days - set
aside time to write for 10 minutes all of the positive things
you can about your life, your relationships, your body, your
work, your home etc etc. You will not be the same person at the
end of those 30 days!

6. Open your mouth and let the gratitude flow from your heart.
You will find amazing things begin to happen to you and those
around you. Can you imagine what might occur? Play with this and
adore someone today.

In gratitude,
Lori
