Why I call Gratitude the MAGICAL Attitude. (Explained)

I call gratitude the magical attitude because you cannot be in a bad mood when you are sincerely grateful for the things you do have and the things you do like.  It is impossible to be in a negative state of mind when you are focused on all the things that you are grateful for in your life.  The best part of being grateful is that it attracts to you more things to be grateful for, often times, in ways that you can not logically explain.

Being grateful for the money I have (and the money I had) always attracts more money to me, it has never failed...

Being grateful for the love I have (and the love I had) always attract more love to me, often times, in mystical, magical ways.

Being grateful for the health I have (and the health I had) always increases my levels of energy, vitality and happiness

By the way, the opposite of gratitude is complaining about what you don't have and that magical too, in reverse. I say that because complaining about what you don't have keeps what you want at a distance from you always just outside your reach.

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.

Nothing is hard in Life (Article Explains Why)

Nothing is hard in life, not serious illness, not financial problems, not relationship problems. What makes these things hard is our sorry ass attitudes. On the other hand, what makes these things easy to deal with is when we have the 'willingness' to see the tremendous blessings in disguise these situations are for us. THE GOOD NEWS IS... when you begin to see the 'blessing in disguise' your problem is giving you, the problem begin disappearing from your life, almost magically. (I have more documented cases of this being true than I can possibly share) WE CARE: http://wecareimb.blogspot.com/

 

 

 

 

Simple Gratitude (Message #6 in a series) Powerful, POWERFUL Stuff

.

SIMPLE GRATITUDE (Message 6)

Worry, effort or struggle is always an ALERT signal that you are not completely grateful and satisfied with what you have. Your satisfaction with what you have is what attracts more good things into your life to be grateful for. Dissatisfaction, on the other hand, pushes good things away from you. Satisfaction opens the gratitude heart while dissatisfaction closes it.

As you practice gratitude, your experience of good things coming into your life will move, in almost mystical ways, from a trickle to a flood....  It does take practice to  FEEL the gratitude and it is the feeling of gratitude that attracts good things to you.  Practicing gratitude is definitely worth it.. - Frederick Zappone

My On-Going Gratitude List.

.
The best way for me to establish a new habit of thought is by repetition and since it is important to me that my attitude of gratitude becomes habitual, I have created an on-going gratitude list for myself that I will add to on a regular basis. - Frederick Zappone

I am grateful I am alive
I am grateful for my health...
I am grateful for all the people who love and care for me.
I am grateful that I learned how awful being ungrateful feels.
I am grateful for the unconditional love Mimi and PJ  (my dogs) give me. 
  I am grateful for the people in this world who live in peace with one another.
I am grateful for my imperfections because they prevent me from criticizing others.
I am grateful to the people who have supported my work with their donations and purchases.
I am grateful for the 'gratitude feeling' because it creates the feeling of abundance inside of me...
I am grateful that I am giving up my ingratitude habit and replacing it with the grateful habit.
I am grateful when I feel ungrateful because it is my ALERT signal to focus on being grateful.
I am grateful to the people who appreciate me and acknowledge the contribution I have made to their lives.
I am grateful that I am becoming better at being grateful for what I have rather than complaining about what I don't have.

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.

I'm Grateful for the Things 'Gone Wrong' in my life. Here's Why...

 .

Normally, when things go wrong in a person's life they REACT to the situation. They get upset, pissed off, irritated, angry and yet none of those things will change what went wrong.  Instead, they will only make the situation worse... they always do.  However, when something goes wrong and we are grateful for the thing gone wrong, we are acknowledging there is a higher power at work in our situation who can see the bigger picture. A higher power who is working behind the scenes of our life making the necessary corrections and adjustments so we can get what we want, faster.

Experience has taught me that when something goes wrong in my life that is always a sign that the 'organizing intelligence of the universe' has intervened into my life to help me get what I want faster.  However, until I was willing to be grateful for the thing that went wrong, I was never able to see how the thing gone wrong would help me get what I wanted, faster.  These days, every time I am grateful for something that, in my judgement, has gone wrong in my life, wisdom and knowledge is revealed to me that shows me the shortcuts to getting what I want.

I know it's not logical to be grateful for the things that go wrong in our lives but who cares if being grateful for things gone wrong makes them turn out right.  To learn more about the power of gratitude to make the things that go wrong in your life, turn out right, subscribe to my free gratitude messages.

The Brick Walls Are There For A Reason

BRICKS WALLS:

“The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re not there to stop the people who do.” ― Randy Pausch


PERSEVERANCE 

“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.”  ― Maya Angelou

TENACITY

“Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.”  ― Dale Carnegie 

GRATITUDE 

“The virtue of gratitude is the most unappreciated and underrated of all virtues. Gratitude, properly understood, is so powerful that being grateful for what has gone wrong in our lives has the power to make it turn out right. That's how powerful gratitude is.”- Frederick Zappone

The True Story of the 'Ungrateful Bastard' and the Grateful Benefactor

The turning point for Scott Neeson, high powered Hollywood executive, was when he received a call from the agent of one of Hollywood's major stars.  The agent said, "Scott, we have a problem." 'What's up," Scott replied.  The agent answered, "the plane the studio chartered for us doesn't have the right kind of water or the food we require and we are not getting on the plane until this is resolved." Then the 'Star' grabbed the phone and said. "Scott my life is not suppose to be this difficult, Fix it."

That was the moment Hollywood Executive Scott Neeson decided to give up his million dollar job with SONY and began working full-time to save the lives of Cambodian children living and working on the garbage dump in Phnom Penh. So far he has rescued over 1200 children from this horrible existence.   

Source: Reader's Digest, September, 2012, Page 181

When I read this story I was appalled by the lack of gratitude the Hollywood star had. However, the more I thought about it, the more I realized, it wasn't the star's fault he had such an ungrateful attitude.  You see he was brought up in an environment, as we all were, where being disenchanted (ungrateful) with what we have was deliberately  programmed into us by the free enterprise society so we would buy more (want more) and complain when we didn't have what we wanted. Unfortunately this programming has poisoned every aspect of our lives from our health to our relationship with others.

Today, the lack of gratitude for what we have is the source of many of our problems in society. You see, the more ungrateful we are, the more unhappy we become and the more we talk and behave in ways that would not make our mother's proud.. 

The virtue of gratitude is the most unappreciated and underrated of all virtues. Gratitude, properly understood, is so powerful that being grateful for what has gone wrong in our lives has the power to make it turn out right. That's how powerful gratitude is...

The MIRACLE Gratitude Produced in my Life.

.

For those of you who are subscribers to my daily messages of gratitude, be on the lookout for Message 15. It contains one of the most important pieces of information, if not the most information piece of information about gratitude ever discovered by man.

It is the missing piece to the Gratitude Practice that I have never, ever seen written about before. In fact, I didn't even know there was a 'missing piece' to the Gratitude Practice until, for reasons unexplained at the time, I plunged into the darkest space I have ever been in, in my entire life. 



The space was so bleak and dark and so full of hopelessness and despair that I began praying for God to take me home... In spite of being in the darkest place I had ever been in, in my life, I expressed gratitude for being ungrateful that I was in that 'dark space'. I did that because I knew gratitude had the power to make what goes wrong with my life, turn out right.  Shortly after expressing gratitude for being ungrateful, like a THUNDERBOLT, out of the blue. IT HIT ME why I was in the dark space....

I was in the dark space to make an important discovery about gratitude that would change the lives of gratitude practitioners everywhere. And once I discovered the missing piece to the Gratitude Practice, like a cork trapped at the bottom of the ocean and suddenly set free to rise to the surface, I was suddenly set free from the darkness and was shot skyward into the LIGHT....and what I brilliant light it was, more brilliant than ever before with the guarantee that as long as I don't forget to be grateful for the 'missing piece' I shall never see darkness again... The Missing Piece is revealed to you in message 15, look for it...

Gratitude Floods the Mind with Inspired Ideas

.

Definition of Grateful:

1. warmly or deeply appreciative of kindness or benefits received

2. pleasing to the mind or senses; agreeable or welcome; refreshing


When we express sincere gratitude to the universe for what we have (or had), we activate the 'organizing intelligence of the universe' to bring more good things into our life to be grateful for.

Expressing sincere gratitude produces unexpected MIRACLES in people's lives that defy logical explanation. Expressing gratitude raises our state of mind to new levels of positive thinking. It calls forth inspired ideas within us.  Gratitude renews our body and makes us feel younger almost immediately. Expressing gratitude for what we have is a simple practice that produces MIRACULOUS Results.

All the good ideas you read up on my blog that ring true for you are inspired ideas I received from the 'universe' as a result of being grateful for the good ideas the universe sent my way.

Expressing Gratitude Publicly

.

Expressing gratitude publicly AMPLIFIES your power of gratitude causing you to attract more good things to yourself faster than when you express your gratitude privately. 

In addition, your public expression of gratitude blesses everyone who reads it.  The law regarding gratitude is this: Expressing, sincere, gratitude for what you have guarantees you will attract more good things in your life to be grateful for...

Here is my public list of things I am grateful for today.





1. I am grateful to be ALIVE.
2. I am grateful for all the good feelings I have.
3. I am grateful for understanding the power of gratitude in my life.
4. I am grateful that my insights about gratitude make people's lives easier.
