Gratitude acknowledges your power and ability to create. It focuses your attention on what you have – and what you pay attention to increases. It is a constant reminder to yourself of how abundant the universe is and how you can trust its unending flow. Appreciation is a state of mind that magnetizes money and abundance to you.

Every time you say “thank you” to yourself, you instill confidence in your ability to create what you want. Begin by thanking the universe for every small thing that comes your way, appreciate how far you have come and all that you have already accomplished, and you will overcome your fears and doubts. Give thanks for all the things you take for granted – the place you live in, the friends who love you, the food on your table. Do not label what you have now as inadequate, but instead begin thanking the universe for it.

By doing this, you are making yourself magnetic to even more good things. Pretending that you are increasing your feelings of satisfaction and happiness, plus intending to have more good things appear in your life, is all that is required.      # 8810
