Gratitude and Business
Gratitude is powerful. Yes, gratitude is the ultimate expression of appreciation, and showing appreciation leads to receiving and attracting more and more of what you DO want.
But, gratitude is powerful for another reason. Taking the time to recognize what your grateful for, makes you acutely aware of all of the wonderful things you’ve ALREADY created and attracted into your life.
Think about it. Right now - list 5 things that you’re grateful for.
Now, look back over that list. At one time, weren’t those things mere thoughts? And, didn’t you somehow take action in order to bring you closer to those things? Look at your list and take a few moments to remember how each item came into your life - and really go back - all the way to the point where you started thinking about having those things.
Isn’t it amazing? You thought about all of these wonderful things - and then - they were brought into your life by your actions.
So. If you can create all of those things, doesn’t it stand to reason that you can create ANYTHING else you want?
Ponder that thought for a little while and open yourself up to the absolutely endless possibilities that exist for you.
I want to take a minute and let you all know how profoundly grateful I am to have you all as part of my community. I adore hearing from you via the comments in this blog. I love the e-mails that I receive from you when something really moves you.
I am touched by each and every one of you - and for that I thank you.

Jenn - What a wonderful refreshing blog to find out here in the blogosphere! I will put your site into my blogroll.
I love this post and will ensure I take time to read others on your site.
Gratitude is such a huge factor in business. I helps us come from a place of abundance rather than lack. When we feel abudnant, we attract more of it!
Have a peek at my blog when you have a moment, I hope you enjoy it:

Louise! Thanks for stopping by!
You’re absolutely right… I equate lack with emptiness. When you approach something with emptiness, how can you possible “give?” If you’re empty - there’s nothing to give.
Being in gratitude puts laser focus on what we’ve already been able to create in our lives… it snaps us into the Now, and allows us to see that we are powerful - it immediately gives that sense of being full.
