Create Good Things

Posts Tagged ‘gratitude’

What you focus on expands. You should therefore get into the habit of focusing only on what you have – not on things that you don’t have. The best way of doing this is to live your life with a grateful heart.

Instead of thinking that you would like more money, more health, more success and more happiness, simply be grateful for the money, health, success and happiness which you already have in your life.  You may only have a dollar in your pocket, but if you focus on dollar and appreciate it, you will soon have two dollars. Then four. Then eight. And before you realise what is happening, you will be prospering – automatically and effortlessly.

The same applies to health, success, happiness and anything else you want. Be thankful for what health, success and happiness you already have – no matter how small their quantities may be – and the act of focusing on what you have will automatically lead to them expanding in your life. At the same time, avoid thinking in terms of lack or limitation. If you focus on what you lack, or of the things which limit your life, all you will do is expand that lack and limitation.

Be grateful for all that you have and you will have more. Be resentful of what you lack and you will lack more. This applies to relationships as well as everything else.  If you focus on negative traits in your partner or in friends or family members, these negative traits will expand and annoy you even more. Instead, focus on all that is good about your partner, or your friends and family members, and watch how their good points expand.

The next time you find yourself focusing on what you do not have, or on what you do not want in your life, correct the situation by immediately focusing on what you do have and what you do want. It will take a little time before this becomes an automatic way of thinking for you, but when it does, you will find that manifesting what you want is far easier than you ever imagined.

The Secret Science of Wealth Creation is a matrix of seven simple but extremely powerful metaphysical principles. Here is the second principle:

Wealth Creation Principle #2 – Be Grateful

Believe us when we tell you that this principle has enormous power to change your financial situation around virtually immediately. It is a principle which has been used for millennia, and which no-one who wishes to reach his full potential can afford to ignore. It is the principle which tells you to:

Be grateful for your abundance.

Now many people will say that it is ludicrous to give thanks for something which hasn’t yet manifested on the material plane. From a flesh and blood point of view we would agree. But look at things from the spiritual point of view and you will soon discover that giving thanks is what enables the manifestation to take place.

Let us explain:

You may have already learned that one of the keys to making things happen is to believe that they have already happened. What better way is there to express this belief than to give thanks for what you have asked for? By giving thanks in advance you are proclaiming that you already have what you want, and this way of thinking unleashes tremendous spiritual power.

Consider the multiplication miracles which Jesus of Nazareth performed during his lifetime and you will see this principle being used to excellent effect.

‘Then Jesus took the loaves of bread, thanked God for them and gave them to the people who were sitting there. He did the same with the fish, giving as much as the people wanted. When they had all had enough to eat, Jesus said to his followers, “Gather the leftover pieces of fish and bread so that nothing is wasted.” So they gathered up the pieces and filled twelve baskets with the pieces left from the five barley loaves.’  (John 6:11-13)

This is how Jesus fed over five thousand people with just a few loaves and a few fish – he expressed his gratitude. The gratitude was two-fold. He was giving thanks for what he already had – the few loaves and fish – but he was also giving thanks for the miracle of multiplication which he was about to perform. In his minds eye, the miracle had already taken place, so giving thanks was natural.

To unleash the power of this principle in your own life, you too need to get into the habit of expressing two-fold gratitude. Give thanks for what you already have, and then give thanks that a whole lot more is coming your way. In doing this you are preparing the way for a torrent of wealth and abundance to enter your life.

We suggest that you begin this habit by taking your wallet or purse and opening it.  Look at the money inside – even if it is just a few coins – and then express your gratitude to the God-Power within you for providing you with this money. When you have done this, express your gratitude for the fact that even more wealth is winging its way towards you at this very moment – a veritable flood of wealth which can never be stopped.

This is an extremely simple principle to put into place, but it is absolutely and vitally important.  The more you express gratitude for what you have and for what is to come, the faster wealth will manifest in your life. Ignore this principle and your lack of gratitude will actually hold back the flood of prosperity which is waiting to arrive in your life. So be grateful!
