Perspective is a powerful thing. When we have it, we can begin to see how everything in our lives is there to serve our highest and best purpose, always.

What I’ve learned is that you never really know what’s in store for you, ever, and you’re always just one decision away from a totally different life than the one you’re living right now.

Gratitude gives us eyesto see God, Earth, beauty,love, joy, and abundance.Everything we never knewwas already right there infront of us, waiting. We just needed gratitudeto open our eyes.

I lost my way, for a long time, before I finally found it again. It took learning this practice, and doing it consistently, for me to finally come to a place of peace and emotional wholeness. And I’ve seen the same thing happen to countless other people who have used this practice and have reached out to me to share their own profound stories of healing.

Never underestimate your own strength. We humans are resilient, strong creatures, able to bounce back from the brink time and again. We are not at the mercy of externals. Ever. It's only our thoughts that have us feeling like rudderless ships.

It's a lot different to say 'thank you' to God instead of asking for stuff. That's the way I used to pray. Help me, God. Do this for me, God. I'm mad at you God, fix it.I don't pray like that anymore. The only prayer I say now is Thank You.

When we apply this to gratitude, we experience the same results with grander outcomes. Things flow easily and we realize there is more than enough. There is no scarcity. No lack. No limitation. Only our false belief in any idea of scarcity. The truth is that there is an abundance and plenty for all. But this realization only comes from practicing gratitude consistently. That's why it's called a spiritual 'practice'.

Our consciousness is where it's at. What we put our attention to increases. What we appreciate, appreciates. The six inches between our ears are the most powerful part of the human body. I invite you to entertain the idea of allowing your life to get easier by focusing on all the many things you are grateful for in your life. Because that is what you will get more of in your life. And you'll feel better. And better.And better...is better.

I know I've done my life the hard way, and if you're reading this book, you probably have too. You're not alone. Welcome to the human condition. But now, it's time for an easier way. Or you wouldn't have this book in your hands. Divine Timing and all. Go for good, and all that's not the truth of you will fall away.

You are powerful. And we need you to be. The planet needs all of us to show up and show out. To claim our birthright. The simple act of practicing gratitude, consistently, is your invitation to a new life. Accepting the invitation is now up to you.
