The Power of Gratitude

an Attitude of Gratitude

A vital stepping stone to manifesting success in our lives is to show gratitude and appreciation for someone or something that makes our day even better. Having gratitude is one thing, but expressing it is another. Showing simple gratitude towards something like your partner making dinner or even being thankful for being alive is something that we can do every day. But how often do you actually express gratitude when you feel it?
Do you still express gratitude and think positive during the tough times? Many people around the world are feeling the pressure and having negative thoughts buzzing around us. Negative thoughts like the pressure of keeping our jobs, making ends meet, and so on.
A friend of mine sadly lost her job a few months ago. As you can imagine, she felt really down in the dumps because those negative thoughts about losing her job actually became reality. Around the time she lost her job, I had a chat with her and suggested to her that even though she had the right to feel upset, planting the seeds of success by being grateful for even the small things would create her own personal power and manifest what she wanted – a job that she actually enjoyed! Soon enough, things started to pick up for her and she now has a job that she loves through the power of gratitude manifesting what she wanted.
Here’s a really interesting article that’s basically about what I told my friend a few months ago:
The Immense Power of Gratitude in Conscious Manifestation
An “attitude of gratitude” is recommended by all the teachers of the Law of Attraction. Why is it so important? For one, gratitude can put you in the vibration of your desires fulfilled. Gratitude brings completion to cycles; when you are grateful ‘in advance’, you are feeling and responding to the completed manifestation cycle at a level of knowing. In other words, you are energetically in the fulfillment of your desired manifestations. The subconscious mind makes no distinction between what is ‘actual’ and what is imagined—its conviction comes from your emotional energy, based on intensity and frequency of those emotional states. With an attitude of gratitude, you repeatedly energize the emotional states of your manifested desires, and your subconscious mind will get working on matching your outer reality with your inner state of being. If you are trying to magnetize abundance, for example, then being grateful for all your abundant blessings puts you in the fulfilment energies of abundance, which is the perfect attractor energy for increased abundance.
But gratitude works in many varied ways. For example, being grateful for what is, including all your areas of lack or dysfunction, empowers you as an attractor force further. But how can you be grateful for your lack and dysfunction? And won’t that attract more lack or dysfunction? No it won’t—not if you’re grateful for what the lack is revealing to you. If you can feel grateful for the lack because it helps you to appreciate the sense of abundance, which is what you desire more of, then you’ve managed to be grateful for the full spectrum of experience. Without the lack, you likely would not be able to consciously appreciate and therefore choose abundance. From that state of acceptance, your choice for abundance will be met with far greater ease than it would if you were still energetically resisting lack. What we resist persists. What we resist, we create an internal polarity to, which fixes it in place. So gratitude for all experience is a very powerful means to dissolve the inner polarity and allow free movement, by choice, on the full spectrum of experience (in this case, the desired movement would be towards the abundance-end of the spectrum).
great article….manifestation is a true art….one of the tricks to it is to get your sub-conscious mind and your conscious mind to agree the same, one can’t be saying yes while the other is saying no, what i use is vision map videos, and that helps to align them…keep writing these great articles, the world need to hear what you have to say…
