For many people, the idea that they should only be grateful for receiving something after they receive it is a common feeling, or view. I am hoping to bust that view wide open, and explain why we need to look at it from another angle and perspective.
You see, if you are in a situation where you think you have nothing, you may tell yourself that you are broke, penniless, and with no hope. I can understand how you may come up with that view, but I can assure you too, that by twisting this on its side, you will see a massive change occur to you and your fortunes in life.
A bold statement? No, just a proof of an existing law of the universe.
Having thought about the above option, now consider this possibility:
You sit down, and write out all the things you are grateful for, including, as an example, your health, the fact you have a roof over your head, the fact you are reading this on a computer, where less than 20% of the world's population have a PC, or access to the internet, you can actually read, and write, and so many other possibilities, the options are almost infinite.
Now I understand you may say yeah, that's right, but that does not solve my problems now. Well, let me tell you something. The simple fact of being grateful can be taken to a new level. Consider and write down your deepest goals, and desires. All the wealthy people do this, whether they admit to it or not. Also, consider and thank the universe for providing all the things you wanted, as if you already have them. This is a key point here.
To explain in more detail, when we set our mind set in a place where we already tell our subconscious that we have the items we want, we are in effect, reprogramming our mental circuits, and this will in time, allow our selves to direct, and cause circumstances to manifest where we are more likely to come into contact with those things we want. I genuinely understand how many people may find this difficult to either comprehend, or believe at first, but these principles have been proven over time, by many thousands of successful people, many of them not born with a silver spoon in their mouths.
Again, I draw on experiences from my own life, where I have been thankful for something in advance of actually receiving it, and later, found that I often got better than I expected. One example in my life is when I planned and was grateful for a new job in a new city, six months before I was offered the position.
The fact is that these truths are profound, and even if you do not understand how they work at first, just doing them anyway, makes a difference to your life and results.
Let me ask you, if you are not an engineer, and are not familiar with the inner workings of a car engine, do you doubt it works, when you get in the car? No. You know that it will work, and just do it, even though you may not be a mechanical engineer. The same with flight, and many more examples.
Hence, to succeed in acquiring more than you imagined possible at first, just be thankful in advance, as if you already possess the items, wealth, or security you want. You already have it, and it is simply a case of being thankful for it.
