Why is it that some people are having an incredibly tough time during this "recession" while others are thriving? And thriving with complete integrity?
I dare say it is mindset, feelings and willingness to keep the energy flow of money, joy and love going such as in tithing. Tithing of money, time and energy. Tithing with the willingness to simply give without any expectation of return.
It is during the "tough" time we are given the opportunity to see if what we claim to be true (such as trusting in Source, Universe, God, etc) is really what we believe. It is one thing to talk the talk and something completely different to walk the talk.
It is by far much easier to be grateful when all is well in our world. The greatest opportunity to trust and feel gratitude at the deepest level is when all outward appearances may seem like things are not good, yet they are good in the space of gratitude.
The more we express our gratitude the more we have to be grateful for.
Here is a simple process that is so simple and yet, extremely powerful. Just for today, write down 7 things you have to be grateful for. Really feel the gratitude. Express the gratitude and watch the miracles happen.
Tomorrow, repeat the process. Then the next day and the next and the next. In order to feel the power in gratitude it is essential to feel the feelings of what you are claiming to be grateful for.
Each day the seven items must be different than the day before.
I wrote about this some time ago and many people expressed how powerful the process is. With the amount of concern many folks have, it bears repeating.
Another way to get out of self it to be of service to others. It is in the service to others we get out of self.
Two very simple, yet not always easy steps to a greater sense of well-being. Gratitude and service.
