GREETINGS Magnificent One!

I’m still in the “after glow” of Wealthy Goddess LIVE.

During this time of thanksgiving, I’m so aware of my bountiful blessings…

Including getting to empower women through my soul’s purpose.

Gratitude is one of my manifesting power tools, so I’ve written an article to help you leverage it for greater abundance and wealth.

The quality of your life, your business and yes, even your money, can completely shift through the power of gratitude.

Read on for “The Abundant Power of Gratitude”.

=============================================

To live a life you are genuinely thankful for is among the greatest of human achievements.

I believe gratitude is one of the highest principles you can live by. A higher principle aligns you with the highest and best; it has supreme value and is life affirming. A higher principle naturally connects you to a greater Source, Spirit, God/Goddess.

By connecting with gratitude, you are connecting with your true essence and Spirit. You cannot sit in gratitude and be disconnected from your core or from Spirit.

Many people give thanks for conditional reasons. Don’t get me wrong, saying thank you is never wasted breath. Yet most give thanks when certain things occur. As such, the state of gratitude is contingent on outward circumstances and events.

While I support the powerful pause of thank you regardless of the circumstances, I want to transport you to another place of possibility with this. Try it on.

Gratitude is a state of being. One that will take you to new heights and dimensions of joy and abundance.

Curious? Let’s start with looking at the word gr(atitude). Embedded in the word is, “attitude”.

The dictionary defines attitude as a mental state stemming from beliefs, feelings, values and dispositions that cause us to act in certain ways. Your attitude shapes your actions, which shapes your experience, which shapes your results. Don’t you want an attitude that shapes the most fulfilling life possible? You choose.

An attitude of gratitude is a state of mind or a particular mode, or state, of being.

This state of being is an ongoing, unshakable way that mirrors a greater understanding of the purpose and divine plan that you are a part of. It is grounded in trust for the process of life and an inner knowing that all is well.

You acknowledge what is just because it is, not because something in particular does or does not happen. You decide to live in this state simply to honor the sacred nature of life and the innate appreciation that accompanies it. It’s the foundation to all experience.

This is about a position in life that is an underpinning to all you perceive, feel and experience. It’s about being genuinely grateful, feeling sincere appreciation for simply being alive.

Gratitude in its deepest sense knows inherent value. Meaning…the value of someone or something simply is because it is. It is intrinsic to its life. It doesn’t have more or less value based on how much it acquires, or how much external validation it gets.

So how would this look in your life, your business, your money?

Everything you see, be, and do would ring with a new quality of aliveness because you know that each moment and every experience has supreme value. Imagine that!

The quality of your life, your business and yes, even your money, can completely shift through the power of gratitude. You can be liberated from stress, know harmony and joy, attract ideal clients, be financially free, and much more—simply by choosing gratitude.

And when you are challenged— by circumstances, money and unexpected stresses—you give thanks. Why? Why would you give thanks for something you don’t want? (If you operate from the Law of Attraction and know that dominant thoughts create reality, why say thanks to challenges? Won’t that attract more of them?)

Here’s the key. When you give thanks for challenge, you are not actually thanking the challenge; you are thanking the lessons offered to you through the challenge.

Remember, gratitude as a state of being reflects an understanding of the purpose and divine plan that you are a part of. You are grounded in trust for the process of life and an inner knowing that all is well. By holding gratitude for the challenges, you trust the wisdom of life and welcome the gifts waiting to be revealed to you.

Here are more benefits of embracing the power of gratitude:

• Inspire optimism– A characteristic that researchers say boosts the immune system.
• Increase alertness, enthusiasm and energy– Studies show daily attention to gratitude increases these qualities.
• Decrease depression and stress– Yep, you guessed it, more research proves this.
• Shift your attitude– An automatic shift toward the best occurs when you choose gratitude.
• Help grow more of what you desire– What we pay attention to grows. Focus on what you want and what works.
• Release the illusion that you don’t really have what you want– If you appreciate what is, you get that the endless struggle for something/somewhere else is just that, a struggle.
• Connect you to Spirit/Source– Sitting with gratitude means sitting with Spirit.
• Promote aliveness and health– Research shows actual physiological changes and well-being is enhanced.
• Keep your attention on what matters most– The heart of what matters is prevalent in all you do and be.
• Put things in perspective– Eradicate drama and victim hood. See life in the larger picture.
• Honor life as it is- Simply honor life for the grand gift it is.
• Breed more reasons for gratitude– Gratitude grows more to be grateful for. Plus it attracts more.
• Ripple kindness in the universe– Feeling grateful creates a ripple. Let’s spread it!
• Teach you how to be content– Know the true meaning of peace and freedom on all levels.
• Allow for magic– Let the magic and mystery of life reveal its treasures.
• Creates wealth – You can’t feel lack and gratitude at the same time.

Life is a gift, truly a magical wonder. How you choose to be – your attitude, position, state – is instrumental to your quality of life and the amount of abundance you allow yourself to receive.

I guarantee that practicing gratitude as a state of being will forever change your life, opening you to the bounty that is your birthright.

Thank you.

I am grateful.
