The flipside is that when we’re not counting our blessings, we can fall into the trap of unintentionally counting negative things.
And that principle can be summed up in three simple words. Thoughts become things! Through.
Everything that surrounds you right now in your life, including the things you’re complaining about, you’ve attracted.
This is a magnificent Universe. The Universe is bringing all good things to me. The Universe is conspiring for me in all things. The Universe is supporting me in everything I do. The Universe meets all my needs immediately.
Love and gratitude can part seas, move mountains, and create miracles. And love and gratitude can dissolve any disease.
When you are grateful to be the person in the mirror, feelings of dissatisfaction, discontentment, disappointment, or I’m-not-good-enough completely disappear. And with them, every dissatisfying, discontenting, and disappointing circumstance in your life magically disappears too.
I started out giving thanks for small things, and the more thankful I became, the more my bounty increased. That’s because what you focus on expands, and when you focus on the goodness in your life, you create more of.
Focusing on problems attracts more problems. You have to be a magnet to the solution, not a magnet to the problem. Being grateful that you have the solution, and that it has been resolved, attracts the solution.
The amount you give in gratitude is exactly proportional to the amount you receive in return. You control the amount you receive, by the amount of gratitude you give!
His whole life changed because he changed from focusing on what he did not want, what he was afraid of, what he wanted to avoid, to focusing on what he did want. Robert’s.
It’s impossible to be negative when you’re grateful.
Most people believe that negative situations come from outside of them; they believe that it’s either people, circumstances, or events in the world that have caused the negative situations in their life.

A person is what you experience, it is not what you are.
When you find yourself wanting love, know that it is like a lake looking for water.

No matter what your current situation, the very thought that you don’t have enough money is being ungrateful for the money you have.
The only real purpose of being here on this earth is to learn or to re-remember our original natural state of no limitations.” Lester Levenson, from Will Power audio.
Stop focusing into the problem. Stop wanting it to be more or less. Stop wanting it to go. Stop wanting to change it. Stop wanting to figure it out. Stop wanting to control it. It will naturally collapse when you decide to be Awareness. Everything that is not love collapses in the face of love. Everything that is not real collapses in the face of Awareness.
Don’t expect people, circumstances, and events to change for you to feel better, because none of them ever will. You’ll never be happy if you wait for the world to change according to your desires or your expectations. To change how you feel in any given moment is always an inside job.
Choose to be grateful no matter what!
Gratitude makes relationships flourish. As you increase your gratitude for any relationship, you will magically receive an abundance of happiness and good things in that relationship. And gratitude for your relationships doesn’t change only your relationships; it also changes you. No matter what your temperament is now, gratitude will give you more patience, understanding, compassion, and kindness, to the point where you won’t even recognize yourself.
