when i was reading the chapter on gratitude, i could understand it theoretically. it made sense, but i struggled to have sincere, deep gratitude for the things i lacked.

then i had an lightbulb moment; i was sitting in my boyfriend's apartment, which is elevated way above the city, and was thinking (and this is a thought i have had for quite some time), 'i wish i could live in an elevated space, i wish i could be above the city, i love it here', but then i realised... i am here. i don't have to wish. i am here in this space and instead of wishing to be where i am i can just say 'thank you'.

really, i'm just thankful now that i get to spend a lot of time in that high up place, while i put my focus, faith and feeling into having one of my own.

good afternoon.....i just had an aha moment that i want to share, i have a piece of property which at the present time i am not making payments on, the lender turned me over to a collection firm and they have turned very aggressive and ask me the same questions which require a less than abundant answer. So i wrote out a statement to read which goes like this: "Thank you for calling. I appreciate your concern. I will be in contact with you at which time my financial situation is changed. The property is listed for sale and my real estate agent is moving forward to sell it. thank you for calling." and i just repeated this and repeated this for any and all of their questions...today they turned me over to my lender, who by the way always treated me with respect, courtesy and dignity, and he wanted to know what he could do the help me, and i said to him that i have told my story repeatedly and felt that for my well being i couldn't repeat the same negative story on a daily basis so i came up with my pre-printed statement. I told him there was no way i could manifest financial abundance in my life if i was to repeatedly talk about lack on a daily basis for their daily calls. and....he said....i totally agree with you and the calls will stop, and you call us when the property is in a short sale and or your financial picture changes....now that is this program at Work.....abundance manifests in all sorts of forms.....YES....had to share this as i have been just a voyar on this forum, i read it everyday along with all of my daily work.....and have manifested many wonderful things..like food, lower utility bills and been able to keep my thoughts on what i do want...so this was a real biggie for me...and i am so grateful for everything in my life and everything that is coming in...

namaste,

Hi, all:

This post made me remember something, I heard many years ago:

You only have what you can enjoy. It does not matters any thing you have, overseas for example, is you do not go there, or even you have not knew it. You do not have it at all.

Instead, even if you pay rent for your place, while you can pay the rent, it becomes really yours, because you are enjoying it.

Then, enjoy being and having it.

ML.

Good noticing, blast. The trick is: Start appreciating NOW what you HAVE. NOTICE how much there already is. That'll bring more to you. (Really.)
