The Gratitude Power Challenge

The Gratitude Power Challenge has officially launched. The challenge is to circulate 1 million dollar bills with messages of gratitude. What a compassionate idea to bring giving and gratitude together! This flow of positive energy can make a huge impact in the manifestation of dreams and possibilities.

The dollars will be gathered and contributed to a number holiday giving needs– such as food banks, toys for children’s hospitals, organizations that support the homeless and more.

Positive circulation increases the value of things because it is beneficial to both giver and receiver. Positive circulation occurs when what is received is combined and transformed into something better and given away again.

It is actually better to give in smaller amounts but more frequently than to give in large amounts but less frequently. It’s the consistency of giving and not magnitude that has the effect. When you give frequently, you are in constant flow and there is no stagnation.

To participate in the challenge:
Take a 1-dollar bill and write on it what you are grateful for. (Please limit one message per dollar) Mail your message of gratitude to: Gratitude Power, 87 Bayside Court, Richmond, CA 94804

We will start posting results of the challenge beginning Nov. 1, 2007 –We encourage you to share the challenge with friends and family. Let’s do something to make the world a brighter place. Gratitude is powerful!

One Small Act of Kindness

Give yourself the opportunity to experience a state of joy for yourself. Sometime within the next couple days, I ask you to perform one small act of kindness for someone you don’t know. The reason I suggest it be someone you don’t know is so you’ll experience the power of stepping outside your comfort zone… and also so you’ll recognize that you have the power to give no matter where you are.

Do something that isn’t a big sacrifice for you but which will make a positive difference for someone else. Offer a few words of praise, an encouraging letter, a small gift, a little favor. Center yourself in your heart as you do this; feel the desire to do something that is genuinely selfless.

Take Nothing for Granted

Gratitude though simple, must be consciously cultivated.
We must train our minds to see blessings instead of disappointments.
Simple gifts in life become extraordinary and wonderful when we recognize them
Take nothing for granted.

Giving Must be a Circulation

Giving must be a circulation and not just an outflow. When you give, you need to receive something in return in order to enable yourself to continue to give more. Your can only give in proportion with your ability to receive.

The best givers are the best receivers. The key is to be abundant and happy with yourself. Then from that space you can reach out and help others. Otherwise instead of changing the world, we are just tilting the scale from one extreme to the other. Balance is found not when one is down and the other one is up, but when were are all at the same level where in our own personal way, we feel abundance, happy and fulfilled, that we are sharing our talents, resources, and gifts with one another.

Flood Your Mind with Appreciation

When you find things that you appreciate and you use them as your point of focus, your world has to get better in every area of your life. Every time you flood your mind with appreciation or gratitude you attract more of what you desire.

Look around you right now. What can you be grateful for? Get into the authentic feeling of true gratitude. Find something, anything, to be grateful for right now. When you are grateful, you’re in a high energy vibration that will attract more things to be grateful for and more good things will come to you magically, drawn in by your feelings of gratitude.

The emotion of joy attracts conditions of joy.

What You Give Thanks for Multiplies

Bless the little and the little becomes a lot. What you appreciate, appreciates in value. What are you are happy about flourishes. When you feel good, you would do things that would produce positive results. The more good emotions you feel, the more positive actions you will make and therefore create more happiness in your reality.

If you choose to use prayer to help create the things you most desire in your life, then you must pray in the right way. A prayer that begs, pleads, wants, or wishes for things, will produce the experience of you begging, pleading, wanting, or wishing for those things. Never beg or want for anything. This request is a statement of lack which produces the experience of you wanting the thing you desire, not having it. The most powerful prayer is a prayer of gratitude.

Thank God in advance for those things you wish to create because, in essence, they have already been created in thought.

Unconditional Love

The most important and powerful emotion of all which is also the emotion behind all creation is love, unconditional love. The more emotion you can infuse your conscious creation with, the more successful you will be in manifesting it and sooner. Not only that, but if you can maintain these high states of emotion, you will find your life will be “magically” and “miraculously” transformed.

The natural state of the universe is a constant flow of “Well-Being”. As humans, aspects of the divine, we can either allow the flow of Well-Being, or deny and block it. Negative emotions are contractive and will block Well-Being. Positive emotions, in particular unconditional love will open us up to the flow of abundance of the universe. When you are in a state of gratitude, you are in a state of receiving God’s love.
