This is the cake my tribe gets almost every time we get together because we have SO much to be grateful for that if we listed everything there wouldn’t be enough room for frosting!
*”The running commentary that dominates my field of consciousness is kind of an asshole.”
~ Dan Harris ABC News Nightline Co-Anchor
Who hasn’t felt like that about those saboteurs that dominate your brain-chatter? Listen, did you know that you can banish them for good? Well, you can, so let me tell ya how!
I’m in the middle of Pam Grout’s new book Thank and Grow Rich which is about the unimaginable power of gratitude.
Although the title insinuates it is about accumulating money—it is so much more than that. It is THE gratitude handbook. A manual on how you can start thanking your way toward a “rich” life in every damn way you can imagine.
Love, relationships, creativity, peace of mind, and FUN!
Yes, life can be fun.
*”Life is a ticket to the greatest show on earth.”
~ Martin H. Fischer Physician and Author
Here’s the rub. *“Quit thinking, start thanking.”
I could blah, blah, blah, all over this page giving you a synopsis of what the book is about but I think I’ll let Pam, the author, do that instead because she says it way better than I ever could, as a matter of fact, she did! Here is a quote from page 72.
*AMASSING ALCHEMIC CAPITOL
“The bliss, the wisdom, the creativity, the laughter, the friendships, the joy, the serenity and peace that have been, for the most part, seen as an impossible dream will become your most ordinary state of being.”
~ The Way of Mastery
More than another book on counting blessings, this is a book about climate change. Changing the climate of your energy field, upgrading the resonance with which you perceive the world.
Practicing gratitude, more than penciling a written list, is to practice alchemy.
Looking for the good in life literally changes things. Physically changes things.
Financially changes things.
Mentally and emotionally changes things.
It literally changes atoms and rearranges molecules.
Cynics like to discount gratitude, downgrade it as sweet, nice, something for naive Pollyannas.
What I’ve discovered is that living on the frequency of joy and gratitude causes cataclysmic reverberations.”
So I, for one, am getting my Thank You on. What do you think? Are you with me?
Carry on,
xox
