There has GOT to be more.

I believe wholeheartedly that there is more to this life than many of us are living.  I have always had the feeling that there is a greater force at work here.  I have been to Church and read my Bible. I have a strong belief in God and my understanding of God's power has grown over time. I also believe that I have a lot still to learn and that there are other avenues to take. I believe that the Bible is inspired word from God and I believe that God still inspires people up to and through today.

Years ago I bought the book The Secret. I know. It's old news right.  Well I actually gave it away before I ever finished reading it. Then a few months ago for some reason I felt the need to download it to my Nook and began once again to read it. It seem to speak to me on a different level this time. I don't know if I was just more open to receive what it was teaching or what, but so much of it made sense and resonated as true for me that I couldn't ignore it. I've decided to start implementing at least some of the practices that some of the authors in the book have used for their lives.  For instance, Gratitude.

They were all big on gratitude and I could see how it can be beneficial in every one's life. Think about gratitude for a moment. It cost you nothing to be grateful.  You don't have to overexert yourself to say thank you. Think about this as well, how do you feel when someone gives you a heartfelt thank you.  If you can give that feeling to someone else with just those 2 simple words that is amazing.  Imagine if by saying those 2 words to someone you have helped them get on track to a better day. I think it's worth doing and painless to boot.  Think about what you have to be grateful for.  It can be anything. It can be anything from a major financial windfall to butterflies in your yard. You can show gratitude for anything positive in your life.

I believe this practice is to get your mind in a state of positivity. You may still come in contact with negativity throughout your day but if you can start positive you have a better chance of ending positively.

This is the first step in my journee.  I'll post next week how it goes.

Wishing you Love and Positivity for Life,
