Turning Bad Things in your Life into GOOD Things

Blessing the people who have done you wrong will turn the negatives in your life into positives.

Blessing* someone or something means to INVOKE (to ask) a favor from God to turn a bad thing in your life into something good.

* Dictionary definition of the word Blessing:  

a favor or gift bestowed by God, thereby bringing happiness.

BLESSING THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE DONE US WRONG

Our immediate reaction when someone has done us wrong is to hate them because they hurt us.  That's a natural human reaction. Hating someone who has done us wrong buffers the hurt. It allows us to function and to keep going. If we fully felt the hurt immediately after 'someone had done us wrong' we would be devastated and incapable of moving forward with our life. 

Hating keeps us from becoming paralyzed with grief, fear or resentment. Hate is not a permanent to solution to healing our hurts however it does gives us time to find a permanent solution. 

The permanent solution I found  to heal the hurt inflicted upon me by thoughtless, insensitive people was to bless them. 

I discovered when I bless the people who have done me wrong, God blesses me by turning my disappointments in life into good things for me in ways that defy all of my logical explanations.

Blessing people and situations who have done us wrong or have used and abused us in any way creates MIRACLES in our lives.

I bless people this way..

I bless you for cheating on me and lying to me.

I bless you for using me and taking advantage of me.

I bless you for not understanding me and making me wrong

I bless you for not supporting me and undermining my dreams

I bless you for being nasty to me and abusing me.

I bless you for being cruel and unkind to me.

I bless you for not loving me and leaving me.

I bless you for not appreciating my writings and insights.

Blessing people who have used, abused or hurt you in some way seems counter-intuitive but when you bless them (wish the best for them) the God of the Universe will bless you in ways that you cannot possibly imagine today.  This is something I know from the personal experience of blessing the bad things in my life.

If nothing else, blessing people and events that have hurt or disappointed you will make you feel lighter and brighter. Blessing people will soften your heart making you feel good to be you.

Understanding the Gratitude LAW.....

When we start losing things, when things start going wrong in our life, when things we treasure are lost, most of us slip into an ungrateful state of mind. We do this because we see our loss as a bad thing, as a sort of punishment, when in reality, the loss of one thing opens up the door for a new and wonderful thing. However, if we complain about what we have lost rather than being grateful for what we have, we will lose more things until we have nothing at all. As long as we complain about what we lost and don't have, we will never see our loss replaced with something more wonderful than we had before. It is the law.

Gratitude In Teens Linked With Being Happier. Study:

Thankful for what you have? It could be the key to being a happy, well-adjusted teen, new research suggests.  A study presented at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association shows that grateful teens are also more likely to be happy, hopeful and well-behaved at school. 

"More gratitude may be precisely what our society needs to raise a generation that is ready to make a difference in the world," study researcher Giacomo Bono, Ph.D., a psychology professor at California State University, said in a statement. 

"Gratitude" in a teen was defined as having a positive outlook on his or her life. The researchers conducted the study on 700 kids ages 10 to 14 over four years. 

At the end of the four-year period, the most grateful teens had a 15 percent increase in feeling like they had a meaning for life, as well as a 15 percent increase in life satisfaction. They experienced a 17 percent boost in happiness and hopefulness, as well as a 15 percent decrease in feeling symptoms of depression, researchers found.

Plus, those who experienced the greatest increase in gratefulness over the four-year period also experienced the greatest reductions in bad behaviors like cheating, drug and alcohol use and detention. 

The finding backs up a previous one conducted by researchers at Hofstra University, who found that grateful teens are also more likely to have higher grades, less envy and more friends than their less grateful peers, the Wall Street Journal reported. ( Article via HuffPost Healthy Living )

Gratitude and Appreciation

.

Are you a Gratitude Practitioner? If you are, this message is for you.

.

Most people know expressing gratitude is important if they want to attract more good things into our lives to be grateful for.... What most people are unaware of is the one very important thing 95% of the people are the planet are not grateful for. It is the 'missing piece' of the gratitude formula. If you are not grateful for this one very important thing (the missing piece), the lack of gratitude in this area of your life will neutralizes and take the power out of everything else they are grateful for... 

Without being grateful for this one important thing (the missing piece) you might as well not be grateful for anything because the attitude of gratitude will not produce any good results for you.  

In Message #15 of my daily gratitude messages, I explain what this one important thing is, the missing piece.  I dare say most people will be shocked when they discover what this very important thing is and once discovering the 'missing piece' they will say 'of course, it is so obvious, why didn't I think of it.... 

For those of you who are currently subscribed to my daily gratitude messages look for the answer to the 'missing piece' in message 15 of your daily gratitude messages. For those of you who are not subscribers to my free daily gratitude messages, and would like to be, fill in the form below 

I am the luckiest man ALIVE....

.

I am the luckiest the man ALIVE because I am so very grateful for what I do have which has stopped me from  moaning, bitching and complaining about all the things I do not have,,,, Gratitude feelings make me feel so alive and so very, very good on the inside. This quite a different experience than when I was focused on what I didn't have and was moaning and complaining about it all the time. 

Focusing on what I didn't have made me feel depressed, even physically sick at times.. I am so glad that part of my life is over and done with because all complaining ever did for me was make me feel worse while gratitude, in all situations, makes me feel great to be alive.. 

The best part is, the more I am grateful for what I do have, the more good things I attract into my life to be grateful for in ways that I cannot logically explain.

A Real Life Lesson About GRATITUDE.....

.

The letter contains the lesson I learned about gratitude today

Dear Lorena,

I wanted to send you a personal letter of thanks and let you know how much I appreciate
you signing up for my free gratitude messages.

I must admit I was disappointed in the number of people who signed up for my free gratitude
messages so far.  I thought it would be hundreds by now but so far you are one of 8 people who signed
up which makes my feelings of gratitude towards you even more meaningful to me. Let me explain.

In life, it is natural to be disappointed from time to time. At the moment of being disappointed we
have a choice to make. Do we stay disappointed?  Do we get angry about being disappointed?
Do we become bitter and blame God or someone outside ourselves for being disappointed? 

OR.....

Do we use our disappointment as an opportunity to find gratitude in a disappointing situation.

In my case, I am using my disappointment in the number of people who signed up for my gratitude
messages as a reason to be extremely grateful for the 8 people who did sign up.  You see, at this
point, I can continue to feel disappointed or I can focus on the joy I felt when I saw that you
signed up for my gratitude messages.

I choose to focus on the joy I felt when you signed up.

When it comes to gratitude....it's all about our focus.... We can focus on what we expected to
happen that didn't happen which will make us feel ungrateful or we can focus on what we wanted
that did happen which makes us feel grateful.  In this case,  I am grateful that you are one of the 8
people who did sign up for my gratitude messages. And when I remember the feelings of gratitude
I felt when I saw that you you signed up, I feel the glorious feelings only a grateful
heart can feel, all over again, and I feel good,,,,

Warmly,

Frederick

AUTHOR'S NOTE:  I sent this personal letter out to all 8 of the people who subscribed to my free gratitude messages.

It does not matter because I do know this, when the next person does sign up whether it is you or someone else, I will feel as grateful for them as I feel for the first eight people who made it possible for me to find grateful feelings in a disappointing situation.

It Takes Courage to be Grateful. Let me explain:

.

The Gratitude Practice is definitely not for WIMPS or COWARDS.   The reason I say that is because the first thing that happens the moment you sincerely begin the gratitude practice is that you will discover all the areas of your life where you are truly an ungrateful son of a bitch.   This discovery will shock you, embarrassed you, even make you feel ashamed.  That's why I said the gratitude practice is not for wimps and cowards.



THE GOOD 'GRATITUDE' NEWS


The good news is the moment you become aware of the areas of your life where you are not grateful, the lack of gratitude in those areas of your life begins to dissolve naturally.. In place of ungrateful feelings, you will experience such powerful feelings of gratitude that your life will immediately shift from one where your mind is filled with worry, stressful and anxious thoughts to a mind that is filled with thoughts of love, appreciation, power, peace and strength. 

This shift in thinking happens automatically once you get into the 'attitude of gratitude' habit. And the things you have been struggling to bring into your life such as love, more money, better health will start showing up in your life with no effort at all. Can you imagine that, can you imagine a worry free life?  

Can you imagine a life free of anxiety, depression, and fear?  The gratitude practice will give you that life....

Gratitude Turns Problems into GOOOOOD Stuff. Here's an Example

Was at a restaurant with my son and his family today. I was grateful for the very, very slow service given to us. Hadn't seen my son and his family for about a year and the slow service allowed me to spend more time with them.  Being grateful for the slow service resulted in a 20% discount off of my $40.00 lunch bill. 

This happened without me complaining or asking the waitress to adjust the bill. In addition, the manager, unexpectedly, gave me a card worth $20.00 off my next visit. Again without asking or complaining.

Being grateful for problems, from my point of view, allows the universe to turn something unpleasant in our life into something good for us...That's why I am grateful for problems when they shows up in my life. BTW, ever notice when you bitch and moan about a problem, the problem either gets worse or you end up with more problems.. Gratitude for the negatives turns them into positives.

2 cents made him a Millionaire... ( A Gratitude Story)

.

He found 2 cents last year and was grateful. He was grateful  because he knew that, although, 2 cents wasn't much, it was much better than nothing at all.  He also knew that by being grateful for the 2 cents, he would attract more money to be grateful for. The next day he found a quarter. Again, not much money but better than nothing at all so he expressed gratitude for the 25 cents he found.

His family and friends mocked him for being grateful for the puny amounts he found but the Universe did not. He found $1.00 on his walk through town and expressed great gratitude for it. 

He was so happy with his one dollar that he decided to spend the dollar on a lottery ticket..... Guess what?  He won a million dollar....and it all started because he was grateful for two cents.

Expressing sincere gratitude for what we have guarantees we will attract more good stuff into our life to be grateful for. The feelings of gratitude acting like cosmic magnets, in ways I cannot explain, reach out into the universe and bring back to us more of what we are sincerely grateful for.....

Every time you get something for free, even if it is only finding a penny or two, it is a test.  It is a test from the universe to see if you are going to be grateful or not. And if you are and you trust the universe wants the best for you, the universe will reward you with more. It has worked for me all of my life.... 

When I am not grateful for the things I have in my life, the supply of good things coming into my life dries up. And since I have the desire to have more in my life and not less I am grateful for every little good thing that comes my way. 

When you are grateful for every little thing that the universe provides you with, the universe provides you with more things to be grateful for either by dropping them off at your doorstep or by guiding you to them by giving you inspired thoughts and intuitive impulses that lead you to the good things you want.

You are a person of POWER, a difference maker, here is why:

.

You have been brainwashed into believing that you make no real difference in life, that you are nothing more than a powerless speck of dust in the cosmos. That is simply not true. You are more powerful than the stars in the sky and your power runs deeper than the deepest ocean. You were made in the 'image and likeness' of your creator and what powers your creator has, you also have but you don't believe that for a moment because you have been brainwashed to believe otherwise.  

Well friends, today is the day you get in touch with just how powerful you truly are and then begin to share your power and light with others. The power of the world belong to all the citizens of the world, not just a privileged few.  To exercise your power you must speak up,  speak out, and speak your truth consistently to everyone in your life. In other words, to be a powerful person in this world, you must fully express yourself rather than allow other people to depress and discourage you from fully expressing yourself. 

Most people have no idea of the difference they make in life. They have no idea that a quick smile and caring word quickly spoken to a stranger on the street, during the rush hour, can pick a person's spirit up when he is feeling down. An unexpected smile and a kind word, often times, is the only thing that stops someone from committing suicide or going postal and killing others.  It is the little things we do that make the biggest difference in life... And the more  'little things' we do that feel good to us, the more the universe reveal to us our powerful side to make big things happen too....  Continue reading.

Gratitude produces MIRACLES but not for everyone. WHY?

.
We hear lots of talk about how important it is to be grateful.  We hear people proclaim the 'miracles' that have taken place, in their lives, because they developed the attitude of gratitude... And yet there are some people gratitude doesn't work for....  And they don't know why.....

Why gratitude doesn't work for some folks is simple. Expressing words of gratitude doesn't makes gratitude work, it is about FEELING the gratitude that makes it work. 

Feeling grateful is like feeling love, if you don't feel it, it is not real to you. You see when we feel gratitude, those feelings acting like cosmic magnets reach out to furthest corners of the universe and bring back into our lives more good things to be grateful for.... How gratitude does this is beyond my ability to explain it to you, I just know Gratitude works when you genuinely feel it.   

Don't take my word for it.  List one thing in the comment section of this post that you are genuinely grateful for today. List the one thing today where you can honestly FEEL the gratitude... After that, privately,  do it once a day for five days and on then on the sixth day come back to this blog and  report the good things gratitude brought into your life.

 

 Expressing sincere gratitude (feeling it) for what we have guarantees we will attract more good things into our lives to be grateful for..
