Love is a Powerful Energy Force.
Love is a Powerful Energy Force.
Giving Gratitude is giving Love. Gratitude is what keeps you connected to your Power. Imagining having what it is you want, whilst feeling Gratitude as though you have it already is harnessing your power of Attraction.
Every time you give gratitude you are giving Love, and when you give Love you receive more Love back. This means giving gratitude to everyone and everything in your life.The more things you can think of to be grateful for, the more Love you’re giving out.
I’ve adopted a habit that’s become an automatic response in giving gratitude for everything. Let’s say for example I’m expressing Gratitude for a piece of fruit that I’m enjoying. My thanks goes firstly to the piece of fruit, (after all, it’s whole purpose in life was to grow and give my body nutrition and energy to survive). Next, the tree that produced the fruit, the elements within the Universe that allowed both the tree and the fruit to grow, this being the soil, the sunshine and the rain. And let’s not forget the busy little bee’s that buzz from tree to tree pollinated the flowers. Then there’s the farmer responsible for the growing and the fertilizer that was used to ensure a healthy plant. The people responsible for picking the fruit and getting it to market. The store owners that purchased the fruit to sell, and last but not least, myself for purchasing the fruit.
Now I know that’s quite a list, but let’s remember, if it weren’t for each and every one on that list, I would not be sitting here enjoying this delicious piece of fruit.
By the way, I don’t run through this whole list every time I give thanks for something, but in my mind, I’m including them as I say ‘Thank You’ to the fruit by adding, ‘And Every Energy Involved’.
There are three ways of being grateful.
1. Past: Be Grateful for everything you’ve received in your life.
2. Present: Be Grateful for everything you’re receiving in your life now.
3. Future: Be Grateful for everything you want in your life as though you’ve already received it.
When you are grateful for the things you have in your life, no matter how small, you will receive more.
The words ‘Thank You’, are two of the most powerful words you could ever use, provided you also feel the feelings of genuine Gratitude as you speak them.
Gratitude multiplies the positive in your life, and in turn eliminates the negative.
This is a topic that I could talk about forever, but Rhonda Byrne has already done an exceptional job of this which is why I’ve included her book titled ‘The Power’. I have it on audio and I love the Awareness and Empowerment that it shares and I figured that maybe you would too. The link to explore it for yourself is below.
I consider it to be one of the treasured and valuable items I have in my ‘Awareness Tool Kit’.

Good blog. I’ve been very good at my gratitude lists through prayer and devotion, but expanded that to actual list, like Bob Proctor promoted at the Matrixx event. Of course John Assaraf and his Brain entrainment was very beneficial in the feeling of gratitude while meditating. It is very powerful and I appreciate you for sharing it with so many others who might not know its power.
Hi Stacey,
Absolutely there is tremendous power in combining Gratitude with Visualization. Both Bob Proctor and John Assaraf are excellent mentors and are living examples of what they share.
Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. I invite you to return as I try to share various insights for ultimate awareness.
In Health and Harmony

Great post Toni!! Gratitude is a must. You have said it well here. I don’t use it as often as I should, so a great reminder for me! I love the way you explain about where all the gratitude can be placed… It is amazing the channels things have to go through to get somewhere! There is much more to be grateful for than receiving the “fruit”. Thanks!

Thanks Holly, and I agree. These days a lot of society is living at such a fast pace that they take the little things for granted.
I guess that’s why some kids grow up not knowing where things come from, all they know is that it’s in the fridge or on their plate
Thanks for commenting and sharing.
Wishing you an Empowering week.

Toni,
When I read your title of this post, I was excited to read it! I live my life in gratitude, like you do! It is such a comfortable place to be!
Last Wed., I planned my day around my appointments. I had to get my daughter to the Dr. before school and then after dropping her off at school, on to the Dr. for me – for 6 hours!!! to get my first dose of Gilenya (they had to observe me to make sure the medication wouldn’t give me heart problems.) I got all packed up with a day of food etc. and got in the car. When I started the car, it was dead.
I didn’t freak out, I was totally grateful that I have this wonderful, reliable car and like you said, I was grateful for everything. My husband was on a business trip, my son (the other mechanical helper) was already at school. It took me a couple minutes (and the power of heaven)to figure out what to do. I called the school, the receptionist (another friend that I’m totally grateful for), called him out and he got home, my car jumped and I was on my way. I missed my daughter’s appt. but talked on my cell to the Dr. to reschedule.
I’m telling you this whole story for a purpose
. When I was talking to the doctor, I was hearing my voice a little irritated. I know it’s only natural to feel so, but no lie, I was not nervous, frustrated, fearful, anything negative. I honestly felt the power of heaven floating down on me. I knew that everything would be fine, my daughter would be taken car of, I’d get to the doctor and get my meds. I was grateful for it all!!! I realized I was “performing” for the Dr. so he wouldn’t think I was ditching! Wild!!
Now I feel like Kylie Doak.
She writes novels like this one when she leaves comments too! Another person I’m grateful for!! 
Thank you for letting me share this! I do love you Toni!!

Hi Linda,
even though you were ‘performing’ for the Dr, your words held no energy or feeling, and so did not alter your positive day 
It’s fantastic to see how you managed to maintain the gratitude and remain in control rather than ‘giving your power away’, (as is what happens when we allow ourselves to become frustrated or angry) in the midst of things not going as planned.
I think it would be safe to say that had you not done so, the series of events that followed would also have had an undesirable outcome.
That’s a wonderful story Linda, and I’m so pleased you chose to share it.
You are one of the most lovable people I have the great fortune of being able to call my friend, and for that I am extremely happy and grateful. I Love you too Linda

Hi Toni,
I love your post, I have just finished reading the book “The Power” and it gave me so much to think about,
I really loved it and a must read for everyone.
being grateful is so powerful and we sometimes forget to be grateful for everything we have as we go about our busy lives.
thank for sharing this wonderful information:-))

Hi Jean,
I agree, I believe everyone can benefit from reading it. I’ve given copies to my immediate family and friends as gifts. I can’t think of a more powerful gift than the gift of Empowerment 
That’s awesome that you’ve read ‘The Power’
That’s so true, we can get caught up and preoccupied with the details of our everyday life and forget to see the many reasons there are to be grateful. I feel truly blessed to have become aware of Rhonda Byrne’s latest master piece.
It’s my pleasure, and thank you for visiting and commenting Jean.
