Gratitude and the Law of Attraction

“I believe that life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life’s greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret.”
ANTHONY ROBBINS
You can be grateful without setting goals and you can set goals without being grateful. People do both all the time. People fail at both too. The combination of enduring gratitude with goal setting is a powerful way to create lasting results. It is the quickest and best success formula available. The combination is so intense that it can actually begin to transform your future immediately.
Here’s how it works. Gratitude (in advance) is an act of faith. Faith creates a sense of confidence that you are deserving and capable of having what you desire. Just as with gratitude, goals are more powerful when created with faith. The practice of gratitude in advance creates this belief. Even though it hasn’t happened yet, having appreciation for something in advance allows you a glimpse of what life will be like once you receive its benefits. This glimpse will give you the enthusiasm to want to set and work toward goals with confidence that what you are doing (and thinking) now is making it all come true.
Build toward the future by working through your goals today. Know that through your thoughts and actions you are making them happen. How great would it be to have the life you always dreamed of? Dream big! As long as your dream is backed by action, it’s no longer just a dream, is it? The practice of gratitude creates a shift in the way you think and feel. It replaces negative emotions with positive thoughts and feelings. It lifts your life frequency to a whole new level. But the world won’t hand you the fabulous life you dream of just because you’ve found spirituality and a more positive attitude. I wish it were that easy! No, it’s not enough to think positive thoughts; you must become willing to do things that support your new outlook if you are to achieve your desired results. In other words you must be willing to take action!
