Gratitude is the master key into successful manifestation. Successful manifestation is about experiencing greater inner wealth, and not just about material manifestation. It rests on the understanding that all experiences can be used for your growth, upliftment, and learning.
If you choose to see everything as an opportunity for your own inner growth, and you take responsibility for your inner environment, you move from victim mindset into the creator mindset. You get to choose your attitude and how you respond, both internally and externally, towards whatever anyone else does regardless of the external situations that present themselves to you. If you choose to be grateful for whatever comes your way, then even if you don’t get all of your wants and desires, you will still be a grateful person, which makes for a happier and more abundant life.
Gratitude tunes you to the vibration of abundance and prepares you to receive greater abundance. Take the time each day to be grateful. Right now, as you read this, take a moment to think of one thing that you are grateful for.
Each morning, I write one sentence about something I am grateful for. It is so important to consciously make this a part of your daily routine. As you move forward with focus and determination towards your direction, make sure to be grateful at each step along the way.
If you’re not grateful along the way, then you won’t be grateful when you achieve your goals.
It is also very important to be grateful towards yourself, by acknowledging the things that you do in-line with your intention. Right now, express gratitude to yourself for something you have done. Now express gratitude for an aspect of who you are.
Your wealth is determined by the value you give to others, so be a joyful giver.
The physical manifestation of gratitude is that of sharing and giving. As you begin having success, you can share with others from that abundance. Part of this is in demonstrating to others how to do this for themselves. As you move up, take others with you.
I lived on a vow of poverty for a decade of my life, meaning that I owned no material possessions. I may have been on a vow of poverty, but I wasn’t poor. I had the use of that which I needed, and usually more than I needed, but I didn’t have ownership of anything.
One of the downsides of not owning anything, is that I couldn’t give the materiality to others. I could give to others of myself, and my loving, caring and service, but I couldn’t monetarily support causes that were important to me from my own earnings. As soon as I got off of vow of poverty, one of the first things I did with my first paycheck was to give to those whom I loved and to causes that I cared about. I was so grateful to be able to give and share of the results of my efforts.
It’s so common for poor people to complain about rich people that it’s almost a universal truth. The poor mindset is a selfish mindset, and wishes to bring others down. The poor mindset thinks that by bringing others down or taking from others, they can make the world “fair” or “equitable.” That will just make more poor people, and isn’t going to help lift anyone up into greater wealth. The poor mindset is a competitive mindset based on the view that there is limited supply, that you must take from others, rather than an unlimited supply which you can tap into through your creativity.
On the other hand, there are lots and lots of “rich” people (which is an extremely subjective term), who are actually very poor. They are empty, selfish, narcissistic, and afraid. They may have money, lots of things, or a good quality of life materially, but they aren’t wealthy.
If you spend all your efforts for selfish ends, and achieve what you’ve defined as success but do not share of your blessings, then the rewards will be empty inside, and you will live a life of quiet desperation with fleeting sensations of pleasure. In other words, you may have things, but you will still be poor.
In order for your success to provide greater fulfillment, there must be gratitude and sharing of the overflow from the abundance you have created.
The wealthy mindset wants to raise people up. That is done through helping people shift from the poor mindset into a wealthy mindset, and that is done through a change in attitude.
The quickest way to a wealthy mindset is by being grateful. In doing that, you recognize the abundance of blessings that are already present and there is no need to bring anyone down, no need take from others. You only want to take from others when you think there is a limited amount to go around, and the only way to get yours is to take from someone else. That is poverty consciousness. No matter how much money you have, if you think that way then you are poor.
You are a creator! There is unlimited supply! There is an energy that is behind all creation, from which all creation comes. You can look beyond the seeming limitation to the opportunities that come from the unlimited supply. To deny the limitless abundance is to deny God and that you are an extension of God. You may not always get what you want, but you can always be grateful for what you’ve got, because if you’re not grateful for what you’ve got, then you won’t be grateful even if you get what you think you want.
