Words are powerful things. From ancient times until today, scholars and wise people have believed that words contain power. The words we choose do have power, and they reflect a good deal of what is going on inside us.
Whether you express thanks a hundred times a day, or haven't let these words pass through your lips in quite some time, the fact is the power of thanks can change your world today.
Thanks Changes UsWhen we have a heart attitude of thankfulness, greed and all that goes with it go out the door. It's just not possible for greed, envy, bitterness, jealousy, and all those other nasties that attempt to invade our brain, to live in a heart full of gratitude. People often attempt to change and grow by shedding old, bad habits. While a focus on what you want to change is good, the fastest way to achieve that change is to replace bad thoughts and attitudes with good. Ask yourself what you have to be thankful for today. Keep your focus in the now. Can you walk? Can you read? Can you change? Are you in control of your own destiny? These are but a few of the things for which we can all be grateful.
Thanks Changes OthersHere's a fun experiment. Take the time to stop someone you love today and tell him or her how much you honestly appreciate them. Now this does not have to be some soap- opera moment with hot, romantic glances and swelling violins. Although you can do that if you like. ;)Simply take time to think about what the person you choose means to you. What impact do they have in your life? How do they make your world richer by simply being there for you? Once you have zeroed in on that, take a moment to tell them sincerely how you feel and thank them for their contribution. Now watch their eyes as you tell them. Thanks Changes the WorldOnce you take the time to sincerely thank that special person in your life, you will have changed the world for the better. Now that person will take those good feelings and probably pass them on to others. Think of the impact you could have on the world if you simply took the time once a day to single out a special someone and show that sincere appreciation. What if that person caught the "Thanks virus" from you and passed it on to just one other. Now what would happen if only one person a day began to do this? Pie in the sky? Far from it. To think...one simple attitude and one simple action...changing you, changing me, changing the world. When you develop an "attitude of gratitude", you crowd destructive emotions from your heart and mind, become happier and make others happier too. I call that a win-win-win.
Your Best is ALWAYS Good Enough!
Do you remember that inner voice? You know - the one that we have to put a muzzle on, and train? The one that says that "we can do better", what we did was "not good enough", and even "you're a failure".
You have to Believe It to See It!
Do you find much fault in the statement ‘You create your own reality’? If so, you’re not in the minority. Many find it absolutely ludicrous that anyone could presume that they’ve created massive debt, a broken home, a thankless job, or unemployment. But a little exploration will often uncover just the opposite.
What's Your State of Mind?
I suppose that you would question me if I affirmed that there is enough abundance to go around - right? Why is that? Is it because we have been conditioned to believe that only a select few will reach the personal and financial goals that they aspire to?
