Being Grateful Makes Your Whole Day Come Alive
I’ve been an avid follower of the new Law of Attraction work being done by the folks who produced the video and book “The Secret“. The Law of Attraction simply states that like attracts like, so when we have happy thoughts we attract happy circumstances. Of course, the opposite is true too, so having happy thoughts on a daily basis is a good thing.
Esther and Jerry Hicks Hicks covered this same topic in their many books on the same subject for many years before The Secret, but the more the merrier when it comes to spreading the word. In fact, you could also add Napolean Hill and his book “Think and Grow Rich” first published in 1937, and “The Science of Getting Rich” by Wallace C. Wattles (his book was the inspiration for The Secret). Wattles book was written in 1910 and garnered some acclaim at the time, but nothing like it is receiving currently.
Part of the Law of Attraction is the use of gratitude to stir good thoughts to attract that which you desire. Another author Lynn Grabhorn who wrote “Excuse Me Your Life Is Waiting” covered this topic quite well with humor and mystery. She wrote how she would drive down the street thanking stop signs, trees, clouds and anything else in eyesight for their contribution to her life and her day.
Gratitude is the corner stone for eliminating anger, hatred and depression from your life. If you can dig your way out of negative thoughts long enough to see things that actually make your day good, you will over time have only positive and happy thoughts. This in turn will attract happy situations, events and people into your life.
The more you interact with other people with happiness and gratitude the better world you will create around you and around others. This philosophy is contagious and spreads so quickly when you start.
The world reacts positively to happiness. Let me say that again…the world reacts positively to happiness.
When that statement sinks in you’ll see how you can affect so many lives with a smile or kind gesture. The old saying of “What you put out comes back to you” is what we are talking about here, and its’ true. It works. It also happens to be fun.
Add a little spring to your step, a little smile to your morning and some gratitude to your daily routine and watch what happens. It is truly amazing.
In the end, it’s one man’s opinion…mine.
