And Suddenly You’re Filled With Excitement For Your Future

It’s really hard to explain the joy of waking up filled with gratitude and excitement. Here’s a quote from The Secret that helps explain my attitude these days:

“When you give thanks as if you have already received what you want, you are emitting a powerful signal to the Universe. That signal is saying that you have it already because you are feeling gratitude for it now. Each morning before you get out of bed, make it a habit to feel the feelings of gratitude in advance for the great day ahead, as though it is done.”

Imagine trying to learn a new language, and how hard it was to train your mind to think and speak in that new language. You can train your mind to think and speak in the language of gratitude by focusing your thoughts on all you have to be grateful for, instead of focusing on the things you’re unhappy with or don’t have.

Living in gratitude can banish the past, because gratitude for the present has more meaning when compared to a life lived out of gratitude. Is it a mind game? Perhaps, but it’s one that works for me.
