Living a life of gratitude is essential. It is a well known fact that like attracts like.

Remember the  adage, birds of a feather flock together

The same ideology applies here. 

We attract what we put out, our creative potential is like magnets. 

An attitude of gratitude displays an abundance mindset.  When you express gratitude you are saying that what you have is plenty, you cherish it, and it serves you well. Therefore there is no lack!

This type of thinking creates within you a spirit of contentment. It opens you up to receive more of the same. 

Think of it this way, if you feel you live in lack,  then you will act as if you never have enough. Thus your behaviors will not be sufficient to drive you to accumulate more than what you currently have. 

You will have created within yourself a self-fulfilling prophecy. Your cyclic behavior will lend you to draw to yourself more of the same

Remember as a man thinketh, so he is.

If you think you operate in abundance you will act in accordance. 

You will engage in behaviors that sustain as well as create more of what you possess, or claim to possess. 

Thus, you will create opportunities for you to receive more. 

I implore you to develop your spirit of gratitude. Develop an abundance mindset. Let your change in thinking move you to greater opportunities and possibilities, possibilities you never would have thought imaginable.

Wayne Dyer once stated, “ You create your thoughts, your thoughts create your intentions, and your intentions create your reality!”
