THANK YOU – SO MUCH MORE THAN BEING POLITE!

Recently, a student in my 5 GIFTS for an Abundant Life Prosperity Course had the opportunity to demonstrate the powerful multiplying factor of Gratitude. While sharing about what the class had learned so far, he told us of his frustration about how FEW dollars he had made the previous week. His focus was clearly on how little he had; where he was to find the money to pay the rent coming due, and how he was a victim of his current circumstances. 

I challenged him to put the practice of Gratitude into play. I asked him to shift his attention from the apparent lack of money in his life to being thankful for the dollars he had received. Reluctant but determined he took his assignment to heart for the next seven days. The following week whole class cheered when their fellow student reported that he had received a sizable check in the mail as repayment on a loan to a friend that he had long ago written off!


One of the greatest gifts of being grateful is in activating the multiplication factor of Gratitude. This story illustrates the power that is unleashed when we use “Thank You” to put our attention on what is working rather than what’s missing or not working. There is a law in the Universe we can use every day through being grateful that says: “What you put your attention on grows!”...

 

 

Writer's Digest Book Review - April, 2004

“This is a lovely book, very nicely produced in all respects, from the layout of the pages to the fine editing.  The author’s voice is a friendly and helpful one and the material is very personal in a way that invites readers into the book as well as adds interest.  Many, many people are interested in improving their lives through spiritual growth and will appreciate this contribution to their personal development.  This format, based on the five gifts, will also keep any reader hoping for self-help advice on track, so that he or she can benefit from the messages the author presents.  Those who stick with the book and follow its instructions will certainly end up with some real improvements to his or her enjoyment of life.

The inclusion of other people’s success stories is an excellent addition to the book as both an inspiration and a demonstration that commitment to following a spiritual self-improvement path can really pay off.  The author has worked very hard to provide a full experience for the readers with this book.  Her references to other works and quotations from other authors broaden the impact of the material by awakening ideas in the readers and giving other avenues for them to later explore.

The addition of a range of exercises that readers can do while striving to master the various gifts will be helpful.”
