Show an attitude of obligation for all the things you have in life rather than be ungrateful for all things you don’t have.It’s very easy to misunderstand how gratitude can help with achieving all your desires using the Law of Attraction.

Especially when all you can see in front of you are reasons to be ungrateful about the situation and events you have in your life.But it is vitally important to find something, anything, to be grateful about!

Having run my business for some years now, I have become well aware of the ups and downs of trade. But it is far too easy to allow your mind to concentrate on just how bad trade is in the down times.

I would find on my journey home I would go over in my mind the amount of money I had taken that day. Calculate how far below break even the business had sunk for the month. Project what would happen if this trend continued for any length of time.All in all, my mind was filled with doom and gloom!

The more I thought, analysed and calculated about it the worse the situation seemed to get.To sum up I had little to be grateful about, far from it I had everything to feel ungrateful for.

In the present economic atmosphere many of you may be going through a similar experience. It doesn’t matter where you look, whether it be in the newspapers or on the television, all you can see is a doom and gloom.

So where does an attitude of gratitude come into all of this? When everything seems to be against you, what’s there to be grateful for?

You may well be asking yourself those questions right now! They were certainly questions I asked myself when I first read about gratitude.It took a long while for the penny to drop on this subject, or at least a long time to fully understand the importance of gratitude.But the point is we all have things to be grateful for.Let’s look at my business as an example again.

Yes business was down, yes I was taking a lot less money, yes I had a lot less customers, but and this is a very big but, shouldn’t I have been grateful for the customers I did have.

Shouldn’t I have showed gratitude to the fact that each day some customers did choose to spend their money in my business?Yes of course I should, because if they didn’t I wouldn’t have any business left at all.

This is what I learnt from my study of an attitude of gratitude. The problem itself didn’t change but the way I looked at the problem certainly did.But if the problem is still the same what difference does looking at it differently do?

And that is where we come back to the Law of Attraction!You attract into your life that which is your dominant thoughts! And there it is in a nutshell! As I thought more and more thoughts of doom and gloom I found more and more reasons to be gloomy about.But once I turned my attitude of gratitude, I attracted more and more things to be grateful for.

Simple!

Gratitude is one of the most relevant things for you to master in connection with the Law of Attraction and cannot be understated in any way.

I’m not saying that it is always an easy thing to come to terms with but it is vitally important that you do.Gratitude is something that will touch every aspect of your life.

There is always something to show gratitude for. It doesn’t matter whether it’s about business, relationship, health or whatever subject you choose.But the important point here is that the more gratitude you show the more reasons you will attract to be grateful for.

There is not really much more to write about gratitude but that doesn’t minimise its importance. If you only manage to gain one new skill through your studies of the Law of Attraction then let it be how to use gratitude.

Because an attitude of gratitude will turn your thoughts of doom and gloom into positively charged fully energized thoughts that will be fired out into the universe to return as your desired wishes.
