An Attitude of Gratitude!

I'm sure by now most of the planet has seen, read or at least heard of "The Secret." The Law of Attraction is really a very simple concept, so why is it so hard to put to use?

I guess for a lot of us all our lives we're bombarded with negativity. We're told by one or more people what we can or cannot do. If we're not rich and successful (or come from a family that is) we're told it's very hard to become rich and successful and we may as well not even try as we'll probably fail? I don't believe in "failure," to me there is no such thing. I may start out with something and it may not turn out as planned (some people may say what I tried ended up unsuccessful), but to me it's all part of my journey. There is no good or bad, right or wrong, there just is. I learn from everything I do!

I have slowly but surely been practicing the Law of Attraction and it really does work, very well actually. I started out small - one day on the way to my friend Tina's place I thought "I would really like to drink a good cup of coffee." I walked through the door at Tina's and after saying hello she asked me if I'd like a cup of coffee? Wow! For those of us recently acquainted with the Law of Attraction it may take a little time for it to become a way of life. Please stick with it, don't give up, it does get easier!

I recently started my "gratitude journal" again. Every night before I go to sleep I write down a minimum of 5 things I'm grateful for that day. I first started this journal about 5 years ago and it was not easy at first. Now I usually have to stop after 10 or so or it could go on and on. I find if I'm in an attitude of gratitude that it's really hard for negative thoughts to creep into my mind and if they do I can easily replace them. Don't get me wrong, I still have days where just the basic 5 goes into my journal!

I wonder how I'll paint the rest of my afternoon? I hope whoever reads this is having fun with their life?

WE'RE NOT MEANT TO FIT IN. WE'RE MEANT TO STAND OUT!
