Closing Quotation -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. Article: Musings on Gratitude As announced in my last newsletter, I offered a live seminar this past Saturday evening at the local East-West Bookstore. The title of my talk was “Tapping into Gratitude.” It had originally been scheduled for the weekend before Thanksgiving – thus the subject – but store conflicts forced us to move it. No problem, I thought – gratitude is an excellent subject any day. :) Unfortunately, in the process of changing the dates, the store gave me a 7-9pm timeslot … but apparently put 4-6pm on their calendar. So when I showed up the other night, I was three hours late. “How did I manifest this?” I wondered. It also gave me an occasion to consider something I had recently said to a client: “If you aren’t happy about a certain situation, can you at least be grateful…?” See, I always ask clients to write out a statement of what their ideal life would look like, stating it in the present, and starting with the words, “I am so happy and grateful now that…” But there are times when happy isn’t quite so easy to muster. I wasn’t happy that I wasn’t here for the folks who arrived at 4pm to hear me speak. I wasn’t happy that the store thought I had been a no-show for an event they had publicized. And I couldn’t even be happy that I now had a free evening – because I didn’t. A day earlier I had spoken with a gentleman and told him the event was at 7 – and that’s when he showed up. When I was an actor, the rule was that show went on unless there were fewer people in the audience than in the cast. Being a cast of one, I was kinda stuck… Rather than cursing the turn of events, and what might have seemed like some pretty faulty manifesting on my part, I calmly accepted that there is a divine perfection to things. As it turned out, our one-on-one “seminar” yielded some very interesting thoughts about gratitude. And for that, I was very grateful. These thoughts then helped form the content of my teleclasses earlier today, and what I’d like to discuss here. It seems that many (most …?) of us have a fairly meager education in being grateful… as in truly feeling gratitude. Don’t get me wrong – most of us get thorough training in how to outwardly express gratitude… “Say ‘thank you’ to the nice man. Did you say ‘thank you?’ You ungrateful little kid! Say ‘thank you’ to the nice man, or so help me I’ll teach you about gratitude!” (For the record, that is not a line of dialogue that ever came from my parents, but a composite of things I’ve experienced first, second and third hand.) Anyhow, we are taught to say “Thank you” whether we experience a feeling of gratitude or not. So this expression becomes somewhat detached from any authentic feeling – and for many it is rarely organic. It is a “should.” Gratitude is something we “should” feel. If we want to be an acceptable member of society that is. Or if we want to secure a place in Heaven, or whatever carrot may be dangled in front of us. Either way, it is externally motivated, rather than internally so. And that often triggers defiance. We may feel compelled to rebel against “should” – even if it is something we want. Imagine wandering across a barren desert, suffering under the sweltering sun, and coming upon a drinking fountain with clear, cool water… Just as you are about to reach it, someone appears and says, “My, you look thirsty! You should take a drink.” “’Should” take a drink?!?” you think. “I’ll show you!” And with a regretful look at the inviting water, you move on with a sense of self-satisfaction. To be fair to those who “should” on us, they are simply passing on what they learned was right. This is not meant to pass judgment on anyone – we are all dong the best we can given our model of the world. And God knows I’ve been guilty myself – you should see me on Halloween, asking my kids at each house, “Did you remember to say ‘thank you?’” Tap tap tap… Even in the realm of self-help and Law of Attraction, gratitude still becomes a “should.” “To get ahead, you should adopt an ‘attitude of gratitude!’ If you want to get what you want, you should feel gratitude. You should write a list everyday of at least 250,000 things for which you should feel grateful.” So it become a “to do” item – one more obligation on the road to manifesting the riches we desire. I’m not denying the value of gratitude lists – they can be very powerful. But if they are done as a “should” – a daily chore - gratitude may not be the only feeling being cultivated by the act. Low vibrational feelings of resentment may counteract the high vibrational feelings of gratitude. So… what if we could let go of all this “should”…? What if feeling grateful was an end in itself that we desired, rather than a means to an end – either getting something, or avoiding getting in trouble…? What if you looked at feeling grateful as being full of a great feeling…? Forget the spelling – it makes sense! Truly feeling grateful – out of genuine emotion rather than obligation – is one of the best feelings you can experience. And feeling great is really what we are after. A: “I’m going to try to feel more grateful so I can manifest a BMW.” B: “Why do you want a BMW?” A: “Because I believe it will feel great to have it.” What if you could allow yourself to be full of that great feeling right now. Not because it will help manifest a BMW – as a means to an end – but as an end in and of itself…? Now, I’m not denying that being in a state of gratitude helps manifest great things – it is one of the highest vibrations we can express, and as such puts us in harmony with wonderful things and magnetically draws them to us. But that is icing on the cake. The feeling itself is a worthy reward all by itself, even without any further material acquisition as a result of it. Right…? But then you might say, “If I truly feel grateful, won’t I just kick back and settle for what I’ve got?” I don’t think so. I think when we truly are full of that great feeling, we naturally want to do something with it – which prompts us to be of service. The more we are grateful, the greater our desire to give. And, of course, when we give service in that way, darned if we aren’t rewarded with more things for which to be grateful. Oh well. So go ahead and make a gratitude list – if only in your head – considering all the things for which you can feel grateful… your heart is beating… you have food to eat… you woke up today… Not for what you can get by feeling grateful, or because you should be grateful – but simply for the joy of the feeling. Consider it not as an obligation, but rather an opportunity... an opportunity to be full of a great feeling. You should give it a try… you’ll thank me later. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- II.

Must-See Links and Stuff WELCOME TO POSITIVITY SPACE So, last month my tapping script was “Dare to Be Rich”... and then I found a cool place on the internet called “Positivity Space” that has that phrase as its subtitle…! LOA at work. Anyhow, check out a video explaining Greg Evan’s site, which has an amazing library of classic books, a forum, and even a time management system. Check it out here: http://tinyurl.com/39qfp3 ******************************* MORE COOL VIDEOS Here’s one my kids and I love. Enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW-3KwXpkkM Ever feel like you are in the wrong place at the wrong time…? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ELY8P5PWNo&mode=related&search= ******************************* FOR INTERNET FOLKS If you're looking for ways to substantially increase your visibility on the Internet you need to read all about this great opportunity by clicking here: http://www.kickstartcart.com/app/?af=641614 ******************************* ARE YOU GETTING “MESSAGES FROM THE UNIVERSE”…? I know I keep plugging this – but I just love getting these! :) My buddy (and “Secret” star) Mike Dooley offers Totally Unique Thoughts (TUT) that I love receiving each morning. And they, too, are free. Sign up here: http://www.tut.com/?a_aid=7c443f01 ******************************* HAVE YOU CHECKED OUT MIND-MOVIES?!? Chances are you have seen some of these on YouTube – these powerful slide shows with stirring music, exciting photos and inspiring affirmations. It takes the idea of vision-board to a whole new dimension. And these folks Down Under have created a program that guides you through the process to make it simple. I just go the program and am really impressed. I haven’t finished my mind-movie yet, but when I do I’ll be telling you more about this really cool program. If you don’t want to wait, go here: http://tinyurl.com/2nhhdm ******************************* SPEAKING OF BOB DOYLE… If you are not already familiar with one of the greatest Law of Attraction sites on the internet, check it out here: video we produced that answers some of the more common questions that come up for people after they watch "The Secret." The video got over 3500 views on YouTube over night, so there is clearly a bit of interest in the content. http://www.wealthbeyondreason.com/bobresponds.html?aid=byates ******************************* HOW TO MAKE DONATIONS FOR FR.EE There are some sites where you can simply click a link, and a sponsor will make a donation on your behalf – it is a simple way to support some worthy causes. For a couple of years now, I’ve had these sites as my homepage, so that I click first thing each day. They also have some cool products, like the “Cultivate Peace” wristband I wear, which provide an opportunity for additional contribution. I’ve been told the Animal Rescue Site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota of getting free food donated every day to abused and neglected animals. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on the purple box "fund food for animals" for free. Again, this doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising. Here's the web site! Click on the site below and then click on the purple box. Then please also click on the links for the other charitable organizations. And pass it along to people you know. http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com Thank you! ******************************* NEWS FOR THE SOUL If you haven’t been to this site, you are missing out. NFTS is ranked by Google as the #1 Life-Changing Talk Radio Show on the Internet. You’ll find lots of great interviews to enhance your life – including several with yours truly. www.newsforthesoul.com. Please also support this amazing resource – lots of material to strengthen your spiritual connection, so it’s a great place to tithe. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IV.

Closing Quotation "The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit." - Nelson Henderson ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- VI. Reminder Item Perhaps you've read my article called Manifestation 101, which SelfGrowth.com also distributed. The manifestation steps are: 1. Create It 2. Clear It 3. Live It 4. Let Go (& Let God) 5. Get Movin’ (aka Take Likely Action) To go along with that, here is a collection of affirmations from abundance experts John Randolph Price and Catherine Ponder. I recommend you print these out and post them where you will read them each morning. Nothing is too good to be true. Nothing is too wonderful to happen. Nothing is too good to last. My conscious awareness of the Divine Presence as my supply is my supply. I am now consciously aware of the indwelling fountain of overflowing abundance. Therefore, I AM abundant supply. My consciousness is the very energy of money. I AM the Spirit of Infinite Plenty. I am boundless abundance, and with love in my heart, I let the universal riches stream forth into perfect manifestation. What is expressed in love must be returned in full measure. Therefore, wave after wave of visible money supply flows to me now. I am wonderfully rich in consciousness, and I am bountifully supplied with money. I now realize my plan for abundant living. There is always an abundance of money, and I now let it come to me. I am open to receive. I cannot be limited, for I am the Shining Sun of Supply, and God’s wealth fills my world. I am receiving. I am receiving now. I am receiving all the wealth that the universe has for me now. I do not depend on persons or conditions for my good. God is the source of my supply and God provides his own amazing channels of good to me now. All that is mine by divine right now comes to me speedily, richly, freely and easily. I am receiving now. It is finished. It is done. I give thanks that I have received, and that my good appears in rich appropriate form under divine timing. I expect Success!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for reading! Please let me know how I might be of further service as you clear emotional pain and embrace the joyful success you so richly deserve! Be Magnificent!
