Attitude of Gratitude
One of the most powerful emotional practices you can have to create the life you have always dreamed of is an Attitude of Gratitude. Appreciation, gratefulness or thankfulness is one of the best feelings you can muster. It is a statement to the universe you have received and in your receiving you are happy.
In this emotional place you are feeling your connection to your powerful source and when you feel connected you become a energy match to what you want. In this good feeling place of connection, all things are possible. Didn't you say you wanted it because you wanted to feel good?
Well this exercise will help you to do that!
Write a list everyday of things you are happy and grateful about.
I do a list of 18 things because I like the number 1 and 8 and they add up to the number 9, which is my favourite number.
The Number 1: It's about the one person who has most of my attention: Me
The Number 8: Is about TAPPING INTO the unlimited wealth of source and receiving an abundance of what I desire.
The Number 9: As I feel good about the power I have to create the life I choose, my good feelings, which are an indication of my connection to my source energy, inspire and reveal my humanity; uplifting and empowering the world around me.
Here are some of the things I am grateful about. I hope this helps to inspire your Attitude of Gratitude.
I am happy and grateful for...
- all my good friends and my loving family,
- for the wealth and abundant life I enjoy,
- for the beautiful environment I live in,
- for the great relationship I have with my daughter,
- for my healthy strong body,
- for my loving partner,
- for the many choices I enjoy,
- for the beauty that surrounds me,
- for the freedom I enjoy,
- for the swimming pool I enjoy,
- for the computer I am writing on,
- for my creative powers,
- for knowing my connection to my source,
- for remembering all that I have lived,
- For my intuitive power,
- to the universe who loves me so completely and entirely,
- for the fantastic technology that is available for me to play with,
- For all the toys here on planet earth that are available for me to play with.
There is so much in this magnificent world to be grateful for. Think about them and write them down. Every time you do this you will become an energetic match the things you want.

Gratitude
The first step toward getting rich is to convey the idea of your wants to the formless substance. This is true, and you will see that in order to do so it becomes necessary to relate yourself to the formless intelligence in a harmonious way. To secure this harmonious relationship is a matter of such primary and vital importance that I will give some space to its discussion here. I will give you instructions which, if you follow them, will be certain to bring you into a perfect unity of mind with God. The whole process of mental adjustment and attunement can be summed up in one word: Gratitude. First, you believe that there is one intelligent substance from which all things proceed. Secondly, you believe that this substance gives you everything you desire. And, thirdly, you relate yourself to it through 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 GOD by failing to make acknowledgment.
It is easy to understand that the nearer we live to the source of wealth, the more wealth we shall receive. It is also easy to understand that a soul that is always grateful lives in closer touch with God than one who never looks to SOURCE in thankful acknowledgment.
When good things come to us, the more gratefully we fix our mind on the Supreme Power, the more good things we will receive - and the more rapidly they will come. The reason for this is simply that the mental attitude of gratitude draws the mind into closer touch with the source from which the blessings come.
