Are you
grateful to be alive each day? Or do you
take your life for granted?
Taking
things for granted results in complaining, negative thoughts and words. So when you complain, by the law of
attraction, you must bring more things into your life to complain about!
If
you’re complaining about the weather, the traffic, your boss, your spouse, your
family, a friend, a stranger, waiting in lines, bills, the economy, the cost of
something, or the service of a company, you are not being grateful, and you’re
pushing your dream life further way with every complaint.
It’s
impossible to be negative when you’re grateful.
It’s impossible to criticize and blame when you’re grateful. It’s impossible to feel sad or have any
negative feeling when you’re grateful.
And the best news is that if you have any negative situations in your
life currently, it won’t take a long period of a time to transform them with
gratitude. The negative situations will
disappear in a puff of smoke – just like magic.
First,
as difficult as it may be, you have to look for things to be grateful for in
the negative situation. No matter how
bad things are, you can always find something to be grateful for, especially
when you know that your gratitude will magically transform every negative
circumstance. Walt Disney, who knew
about the true magic of life, showed us how to do this in his movie Pollyanna.
Disney’s
1960 move Pollyanna featured “The
Glad Game”. To play the game you look
for as many things as you can to be glad about, especially in a negative
situation. Buddha demonstrated the way to use the same magical power when he
said:
“Let us rise up and be thankful,
for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we
didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at
least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful”
As an
example, your problem might be that you’re still out of work, and despite your
best efforts, you’re still unemployed.
To magically turn this situation around, you have to do a concentrated
practice of gratitude on the situation.
Here are some examples of what you might say:
1.
I
am so grateful to have had more time for my family during this period
2.
I’m
grateful that my life is in a lot better order because of the spare time I’ve
had
3.
I’m
grateful that I’ve had a job most of my life, and that I am experienced
4.
I
am truly grateful that this is the first time I’ve been unemployed
5.
I’m
grateful that there are jobs out there, and more new jobs are appearing each
day
6.
I
am grateful for all the things I’ve learned in applying for jobs and in going
to interviews
7.
I
am grateful that I have my health and that I can work
8.
I
am grateful for my family’s encouragement and support
9.
I
am grateful for the rest I’ve had, because I needed it
10. I am grateful that through losing
my job, I’ve realised how much having a job means to me. I have never realised that until now.
As a
result of the unemployed person’s gratitude, they will attract different
circumstances, and their current situation must and will magically change. The power of gratitude is greater than any
negative situation, and there are unlimited ways that the negative situation
can change. All you have to do is
practice gratitude and watch the magic take place.
