In his 1911 classic, The Science of Getting Rich (the book that inspired Rhonda Byrne's 2006 blockbuster hit, The Secret) New Thought writer Wallace Wattles spoke of the many facets of thinking in what he put "The Certain Way." One aspect that he gave pre-eminence to above all others was this: Gratitude. Wattles spoke of gratitude this way:
"You cannot exercise much power without gratitude, because it is
gratitude that keeps you connected with power."
I am so grateful for my health (having watched my aunt slowly die of ALS, otherwise known as Lou Gehrig's disease) so I am adamant about keeping myself fit, even on days when I'm tired or sore or otherwise mentally "checked out". I try to do at least something physical - for me and for my Aunt Sharon.
I am so grateful for my employment in today's economy, so I demonstrate that gratitude through my genuine love for what I do. People can see this when I'm at work, and the vibrance of my facility I believe is in no small part to the enthusiasm and genuine enjoyment my job provides me.
I am so very grateful for my family, friends and loved ones, that I will do whatever I can to keep them safe. I train hard, I train often and I train consistently-because I know the stakes.
It is out of gratitude that we derive power.
Do me a favor - think of what you're grateful for, and then think of what you'd be willing to do to keep it. Go to www.whitecollarwarrior.com/Products.html and download the White Collar Warrior Self Protection Skills Home Study Course today.
