Gratitude is a Magnet for Abundance!

Have you ever worked for a company that didn’t appreciate you?
Have you ever been in a relationship where you felt the other person took advantage of you?
Have you ever taken your health for granted?
Have you ever taken yourself for granted?

All the above scenarios can be changed with Gratitude.  If you direct gratitude toward any perceived negative condition, a new condition takes its place.

Think of gratitude like a see saw.  When you have more gratitude than a lack of gratitude you will tip the see saw and things magically start to change for the better.

I worked for a temporary agency while I was in college so I could work with different companies and gain experience in Accounting.  This gave me exposure to different industries and how they do things.  One of my favorite companies was a four-hour assignment meant to just get their accounting system set up so they could present their numbers to the bank.  When I showed up it happened to be a software that I didn’t know so I was ready to leave when the owner asked where I was going.  I told him I didn’t know the software and didn’t want to waste his valuable time.  He said, “I already trust you so let’s figure this out”.  They had an expensive software that wasn’t necessary because they were a startup.  I gave my opinion and he went with it.  I called and got a refund on his software and the support plan saving him over $3,000.  We went to Staples and purchased an accounting software package for $300 and went back to the office.  I installed the software, set up all the necessary areas, set up their initial numbers and printed out the reports needed by the bank and all of this happened within that four-hour window of time. 

When I told him, I didn’t know the software and didn’t think I could help him in that short amount of time, he had two ways he could react.  He could have gotten upset and let that vibration makes things worse or he could have gone with Gratitude and allowed the solutions to flow to him.  He chose the Gratitude response and because he was so grateful and made me feel so appreciated, I ended up staying and doing their accounting until their company got bought out which was over six years later. I almost said no to that assignment because it was such a small job but followed my intuition and went anyway.  That happened over 19 years ago, and I remain friends with those owners.  I consider them good friends of mine.  In so many ways, they changed my life for the better.

Think about this situation from the company owner’s perspective.  He could have been upset when I told him they sent the wrong person and just got frustrated which would have created more problems.  Instead he was grateful for me and showed me appreciation and acted on inspiration and got the outcome he was seeking.

Gratitude is where Happiness Gains Momentum™ is a saying that I created when I woke up one morning.  It just came to me in my sleep.  Basically, it means if you stay in a state of Gratitude you will be happy and then the Universe will bring you more to be happy about making it gain momentum.

You can replace this story with any situation to come up with your own Gratitude story.

Law of Attraction means “like attracts like”, and that means that when you are grateful for no reason, more things to be grateful about will show up.  It is a Universal Law just like the Law of Gravity is always working.  Focusing on problems creates more problems.  Focusing on Gratitude creates more gratitude.

Which one will you choose?
