We all know that “Gratitude” is a powerful accelerant for all “law of attraction” processes.

When the teachers from “The Secret” came together to speak with Oprah, Dr. Michael Beckwith explained that “nothing new can come into your life until you are grateful for what you have.”

So, over the next 21 days we will be supporting you to immerse yourself in the uplifting energy of gratitude.Here is what you can expect from this experience:

1) You’ll be encouraged to focus on gratitude for five minutes a day over the course of 21-days.

2) You’ll be introduced to online assessments that you can use to: measure your gratitude vibration at the beginning (and at the end) of the experience; measure changes in your “happiness” levels and track things that you are grateful for (plus you’ll be able to access all of these web-based programs - for free - at any time in the future.)

3) You’ll attend the live Gratitude Energy Activation (and listen over and over again if you wish.)

Mark your calendar for the live session on November 25th at 8:00 PM ET.

Attend by phone or live webcast at: http://www.InstantTeleseminar.com/?eventid=5072853

You will return to that same page to listen to (or download) the class replay.

4) You will enjoy a 60-day subscription to the Prosperity Portal (to extend the magnetic energy well beyond the live program.)

At ChoosingProsperity.com we have faith in the power of gratitude so we have created this program to give you a rich experience of how valuable it is to bring the energy of gratitude to life.

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity…. It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.” — author Melodie Beattie

Looking forward to a remarkable journey,

Can you believe it has been three weeks since this project began?

Have you noticed specific benefits from your gratitude focus?

Do repeat the Gratitude Survey questionnaire at http://www.authentichappiness.sas.upenn.edu/ and compare your results with your initial survey response.

This quotation sums up the theme of our project. Do you agree?

“Gratitude is the most passionate transformative force in the cosmos. If you give thanks for five gifts every day, in two months you may not look at your life in the same way as you might now.” — Sarah Ban Breathnach

Here is a quotation to ponder.

“When you thank God in advance for that which you choose to experience in your reality, you, in effect, acknowledge that it is there - in effect. Thankfulness is thus the most powerful statement to God; an affirmation that even before you ask, I have answered. Therefore never supplicate, Appreciate.” — Neale Donald Walsch in Conversations with God, Book 1

We began this 21-day even by affirming that the teachers of “The Secret” have emphasized that “gratitude” is a powerful accelerant of the law of attraction.

Today’s message is directly from the “Secret behind the Secret” authors - Abraham-Hicks.

Abraham’s encouragement: Begin and end each day with appreciation

“We want to give you this affirmation: Today, no matter where I’m going, and no matter what I’m doing, and no matter who I am doing it with, it is my dominant intent to look for good feeling things.”

And if we were standing in any of your physical shoes we would put ourselves in bed tonight and we would lie there in an attitude of appreciation.

We would think about this day. We would think about our children. We would think about the earth. We would think about lakes.  We would think about flowers and kittens…

We would think about whatever it is that makes you feel good when you think about it and we would let that be the tone in which we would go to sleep…

And when you awaken, lie in your bed…and reach for the feeling of appreciation that you set in motion before you went to sleep.

Then lie in bed and deliberately appreciate a little more.

Not too long. A minute or two. Lie there and appreciate - don’t force it - just lie there and appreciate…

And before you jump into the day…go to a place and sit deliberately for 15 minutes with the deliberate intention of bringing yourself (through mediation, through the quieting of your mind) into alignment with the fullness of who you are

And once you have achieved that feeling of detachment - if only for two or three minutes - you have set your day into the most supreme unfolding that is possible.

And when you come out of meditation go right into thoughts of appreciation…

And if you will follow that process for just a handful of days thirty, really, at the outside)

~ you will adjust your set-point of vibration

~ you will change your point of attraction

~ you will get off on the right foot every day of your life experience

and you will begin to discover that your point of attraction has shifted so dramatically that people who know you will begin asking you, ‘what is your secret?’

and you will say ‘I am deliberately setting the tone of everyday before I go to bed the night before and I am awakening into alignment with who I am.

I am starting my day out every day seeing the world through the eyes of Source.

And then say, and ‘I’ve got to tell you, it is a beautiful world.”    Abraham-Hicks, San Antonio, 9/8/07

Action Steps Today:

1) Comment on the following quote below:

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we  have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to  clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”

Martin Seligman, PhD (author of “Authentic Happiness“) is credited as being the founder of the Positive Psychology movement.

Prior to his tenure as President of the American Psychological Association (in 1998), psychology, as a discipline, limited its focus to the disease model of studying dysfunctional behavior.

The message of “Authentic Happiness” is that by identifying the very best in ourselves, we can improve the world around us and achieve new and sustainable levels of authentic contentment, gratification and meaning.

This is how Martin Seligman describes teaching his classes at the University of Pennsylvania:

“I have been teaching psychology courses at the University of Pennsylvania for more than thirty years: introductory psychology, learning, motivation, clinical and abnormal psychology. I love teaching, but I have never experienced more joy than in teaching Positive Psychology for the last four years. One of the reasons is that, unlike the other courses I teach, there are real world assignments that are meaningful and even life-changing.”

Today we invite you to experience the most profound of all the exercises that Dr. Seligman assigns his students.

Today’s action steps:

1) Gratitude Notes

This is how Martin Seligman explains the process:

“Select one important person from your past who made a major positive difference in your life and to whom you have never fully expressed your thanks. (Do not confound this selection with newfound romantic love, or with the possibility of future gain.) Write a testimonial just long enough to cover one laminated page. Take your time composing this; my students and I found ourselves taking several weeks, composing on buses and as we fell asleep at night. Invite that person to your home, or travel to that person’s home. It is important you do this face to face, not just in writing or on the phone. Do not tell the person the purpose of the visit in advance; a simple “I just want to see you” will suffice. Wine and cheese do not matter, but bring a laminated version of your testimonial with you as a gift. When all settles down, read your testimonial aloud slowly, with expression, and with eye contact. Then let the other person react unhurriedly. Reminisce together about the concrete events that make this person so important to
you. (If you are so moved, please do send me a copy at seligman@psych.upenn.edu.)”

Gratitude as a tool to become magnetic to what you want - now!

“When you start to feel grateful for what you already have, you will start to attract more of the good things — more of the things you can be grateful for.” — Dr. Joe Vitale in “The Secret”

There’s no beating around the bush here.

The law of attraction ensures that what you put out comes back to you.

If you send out energetic messages of scarcity and limitation, the Universe will have no choice but to mirror back to you experiences  that leave you feeling lack.

If, on the other hand, you deliberately send out energetic messages  of gratitude and abundance, the Universe will fall over itself to  drop reflections of wealth (in all forms) at your feet.

So, from a metaphysical perspective, gratitude and appreciation are the wisest investments one can make.

(This is also why financial institutions refer to things that increase  in value as “appreciating”.)

2) Share your thoughts on this quotation below:

“What you put out comes back. The more you sincerely appreciate life from the heart, the more the magnetic energy of appreciation attracts fulfilling life experiences to you, both personally and professionally.” — Doc Childre and Sara Paddison

Welcome To Day #16 of 21 Days of Gratitude

Today we consider the power of expressing appreciation and initiating a chain of positive energy.

“The Word ‘appreciation’ means to be thankful and express admiration, approval or gratitude. It also means to grow or appreciate in value. As you appreciate life, you become more valuable - both to yourself and others.” — Sara Paddison in The Hidden Power of the Heart: Discovering an Unlimited Source of Intelligence

You can explore this concept further in an entertaining video format at: http://www.appreciationmovie.com

Today’s action steps…

1) Make a concerted effort today to express a message of appreciation for everyone with whom you interact.

2) Post your comments about the benefits that come back to you once you choose to appreciate others and put forth energy as an “uplifter”.

“Gratitude as the key to open the human heart” - John Demartini from “The Secret”

When interviewed by Larry King, John Demartini told the following story:

“My mother said to me, when she was putting me to bed when I was four years old, she said, son, before you go in the dream world, be sure to count your blessings, because those who are grateful for what they have, they get more to be grateful for. And I always say that that the best way to start each day and end each day is in the state of gratitude.” - John DeMartini

Here is a quotation to ponder.

Here is a quotation to ponder.

“…For example, many people are waiting for prosperity. It cannot come in the future. When you honor, acknowledge, and fully accept your present reality - where you are, who you are, what you are doing right now - when you fully accept what you have got, you are grateful for what you have got, grateful for what is, grateful for Being. Gratitude for the present moment and the fullness of life now is true prosperity. It cannot come in the future. Then, in time, that prosperity manifests for you in various ways.” — from The Power of Now by Eckart Tolle
