Be blessed. Blessing is to praise, to speak well of and give thanks for. "This supply is perfect, it is abundant in quantity, it is exquisite in quality, and very generously supplied. How grateful we are to receive such a gift." Experience every event, every moment with profound appreciation. If you are negative and complacent about the gifts you have received, Universal Intelligence generally won't go too far out of its way to provide for you in a miraculous way. Miracle workers are not whiners and complainers, they live in gratitude, and their lives are blessed with grace. Bless all of your resources all of the time. Make positive statements about your health, your friends, your job, your home, your partner (if you have one) or give thanks for them coming into your life if you currently do not have one. Realize that we complain to fit in, to impress others and to elicit sympathy. These negative statements do not bring us any closer to our goal. Improve your state of mind. When things are good, say good things. When things are bad, say twice as many good things. Think about all the times daily you can express gratitude to others. Make it a regular practice to acknowledge someone's effort on your behalf, how beautiful someone looks, how kind someone is to you. THE WE In times of lack, limitation and despair, gratitude will open the door to abundance in your life. In times like these we all need more faith, more willingness, more open-mindedness, less fear and concern. Trust your guidance and not the fearful statements of others. Your money is good, spend it wisely, share it lovingly. Linda Don't listen to others who want to spread fear about the economy. Stay in gratitude, return to your original place of trust and knowingness. Stay on the path. Jananda |
