8. The Law of Gratitude: The Law of Gratitude plays out similar to the Law of Cause and Effect or the natural principle of action and reaction. As we look at the law itself, when we express thankfulness to the God Force for that which we have “received” (even though it is still in the unseen), it is an expenditure of force, therefore our gratitude cannot fail to reach God, and when it does the reaction is an instantaneous move toward you. Consider two properly aligned magnets. They are two forces moving in opposite directions while moving toward one another. Gratitude draws you and the Creative Force, God, directly toward each other. If our gratitude is strong enough and consistent then there will always be a move of that which we are co-creating toward us. When the God Force moves toward us it brings all that it is. The Law of Gratitude also dictates that if our heart is not full of gratitude, then something else will take its place. Physics teaches that nature will not tolerate a vacuum. That is to say that if something is removed then something else must take its place. If our hearts are not filled with gratitude, then our hearts will be filled with ungratefulness. An ungrateful heart will take you from what you want as rapidly as a grateful heart will take you toward what you want. The Law of Gratitude nourishes our faith, because as a grateful heart and mind continually expects good things, expectation becomes faith. This faith then, becomes both the cornerstone and the capstone of what it is we are building which comes only from our Universal Supplier, God. Gratitude toward God has the power …show more content…
The eight Universal Laws that I feel you should at least be aware of that take a role in the process of co-creation or what we like to call manifesting. I do realize that they do have a similarity to one another and in some respects, one produces the other and so on but it is after all about harmony and balance don’t you
Are you thankful for thanks? Well, thanks should be at the top of your list! Why be thankful for an insignificant word though? However, thanks, according to “Ode to Thanks,” can “melt iron and snow.” This word rings everywhere and brings happiness where otherwise dark, dangerous shadows would take over. In the poem “Ode to Thanks,” Pablo Neruda gives thanks to the word thanks by describing all of the marvelous things it does for us using figurative language, writing an ode, and using powerful poetic elements and structure. Without gratitude and exchanges of “thank you's”, our world would be filled with depression and hatred.
If you would like to live a happy and more so, successful life, it is vital that you learn to express gratitude wherever you go. In order to reach where you would like to be in life, everyone should concentrate on their goals and objectives. Through expressing gratitude, people can learn to show good deeds, and hence be able to receive the same goodness, in return. (Radwan, Msc.) Gratitude refers to the act of being thankful, noticing simple pleasures, counting every little blessing, and acknowledging every good done unto you. In other terms, it can be described as living life as if everything happening in it is a miracle, and being able to continuously acknowledge every much you receive. On the other hand, when people decide to concentrate a lot of energy on bad things in life, it will make them remain in the state of conflict. But by developing gratitude, it will allow someone to focus on positivity and the good things in life. It must be understood that this will allow an individual to always remain optimistic, and with enthusiasm much success can be achieved.
In conclusion everyday we feel gratitude for something sometimes not even knowing it and it is a big thing in our lives that affects us a lot. People getting something for you, your parents buy you something that you want or just something happens that is just makes you happy and it makes you feel
God’s grace is a word frequently used to refer to “gift from God”. In many circles, it is theological defined as God’s unmerited favor (Hughes, 1998, Ryrie, 1963). Within this
Showing gratitude towards others is a great way to express good character. Being thankful and showing appreciation for those in our lives helps us strengthen our character and show others the good in ourselves. Being grateful is also a way of being humble and allowing others to see that we don’t think we are better than them. Gratitude can sometimes be hard to find, but there are many ways to show how grateful we are. Thank you cards, gift baskets, personal thank you’s, gifts, and small acts of kindness are great ways to show the people in our lives that we
I have chosen the GQ-6 Gratitude Survey to measure the natural likelihood to experience gratitude. Gratitude has links with spirituality and grateful people tend to be more spiritually inclined (McCullough, Emmons, & Tsang, 2002). As a spiritual individual and a practicing Christian with a true belief in God, I aim to cultivate gratitude to improve the symptoms of my depression and strengthen my faith. Constructed by McCullough, et. al., (2002) to investigate the grateful disposition and assess gratitude among 238 undergraduate psychology students: the GQ-6 has an internal consistency reliability with alphas between .82 and .87 and evidence of relating positively to optimism, life satisfaction, hope, spirituality and religiousness, forgiveness,
The story focuses on the contradictions and problems that a modern Native American and African Americans have to face because of the color of their skin as they work hard in order to create balance in their lives. The story revolves around the virtue of appreciation. Virtue of appreciation is a common thing and doesn’t concern discrimination on the basis of religion, ethnicity and race.

Gratitude abundance teaches you how to be thankful for the little things. This will change your way of thinking so that you can use the power of positive thinking to get the things that you really
However, after devoting much thought and research towards the concept it transcends this notion and becomes increasingly more complex. Gratitude is the state of being appreciative and thankful. Gratitude can be expressed in many different manners, whether it be verbally, through a set of actions, or internally. Ultimately, gratitude is achieved when the recognition of positivity occurs. Gratitude is an intrinsic quality that everyone is capable of. However, despite this inherent nature not everyone practices being grateful. It takes effort and mindfulness to be grateful whereas being perpetually negative and pessimistic tends to come more easily to
Most of us assume that selfishness is both wrong and unhealthy. But is this true?
Gratitude keeps you in a spiritual state where you are thanking something or someone for being there for you, blessing you, and helping you.
On the other hand another way of thinking about it is - just how bad
I believe there are many traits in life that make you a good person and lead you to live a happy life, but being grateful is one of the best traits you could obtain. Being grateful is one thing I feel many people in our society forget to do. One day I learned to always appreciate what I have instead of what I don’t.
Two of the most crucial lessons on my spiritual journey have been ones on meekness and forgiveness. Hard lessons from a hard teacher. I have not gotten my diploma yet, but I am still on the Potter’s wheel. I am still being shaped and molded into that beautiful vessel he has created me to be. I have written extensively about my own personal experiences on both subjects, but here I share what for me are the salient points
