Notes:
Gratitude changes everything. So embrace a grateful mindset and heartset, focusing on what you have. Experience the mysterious magnetism that increasingly attracts what is good and aligns with God's purpose in your life.
To whom or what are we grateful? Can we be abstract or vague about gratitude?
I believe that as we are first grateful to our Creator, then we condition and position ourselves to be authentically grateful to others … in whatever context we relate to them: family, friendship, business/work, our place in the larger world, and so on.
Gratitude is like PRIMING a PUMP. Surprisingly, as we decide to be thankful, it releases a spring of gratitude, a flow of thankfulness.
