The Secret of Gratitude

I don’t remember how or when I started to receive the Cygnus Review http://www.cygnus-books.co.uk/ but it is truly an inspiring publication and one that is free! It recommends a series of books (that you can buy via the review) but is never pushy and frankly gives a lot of information for free.

There is a section in January’s issue written by Rhonda Byrne of The Secret. She says: It is impossible to bring more good into your life if you are feeling ungrateful for what you have. Thoughts and feelings you emit as you feel ungrateful attract a life filled with more things to feel ungrateful about…….Imagine that the universe (which is all-good) is like the sun. The sun continually shines, sending out its life energy to us in a never-ending stream. You experience the effect of the sun when you are facing it, but if you turn away you will no longer receive its life giving effects. The universe is like the sun. When you complain, blame, criticize, feel resentment, jealousy or any negative emotion, you are turning away from all that is good. Making a regular list of all the things you are grateful for is one of the most powerful tools you can ever use to transform your life into total joy. When you write about all the things in your life you are grateful for, you will be amazed at the never-ending list of thoughts that come back to you of more things to be grateful for.
