As Thanksgiving Draws Near

Two Words Which Will Change Your Life
by Rhonda Bryne
The Secret Scrolls

There are two words that, when spoken, have the most unfathomable power to completely change your life. Two words which, when they pass your lips, will be the cause of bringing absolute joy and happiness to you. Two words that will create miracles in your life. Two words that will wipe out negativity. Two words that will bring you abundance in all things. Two words which, when uttered and sincerely felt, will summon all the forces and vibrations in the Universe to move all things for you.

The only thing standing between you, happiness, and the life of your dreams, are two words...

THANK YOU

Gratitude is one of the easiest and most powerful ways to transform your life. If you become truly grateful, you will magnetize absolute joy to you everywhere you go, and in everything you do. In fact, without gratitude, nothing can ever change. Your life will change to the degree that you use gratitude and begin to feel grateful. If you are just a little bit grateful, your life will change a little bit. If you are very grateful, your whole life will change. If you live gratitude every single day, you will become one of the greatest human beings on the planet, and the light of your life will uplift our world.

The greatest human beings who have ever lived showed us the way with gratitude, and by their example became shining lights in our history. Einstein said "thank you" hundreds of times every single day! Ancient wisdom dating back thousands of years gave us the truth about gratitude. Every single religion speaks of giving thanks. All the sages and saviors of the world demonstrated the use of gratitude in all their teachings.

Of the thousands of letters we receive from people whose lives have become miracles after experiencing The Secret, every single one of them has made gratitude their way of life. It is impossible to be negative when you are giving thanks. It is impossible to criticize or blame when you are feeling grateful. It is impossible to feel sad when you are in gratitude. Most people are sporadically grateful, however, to change your life with gratitude, a new way of learning how to be truly grateful is what will bring unlimited happiness into your life.

So how do you live in gratitude? Begin your day by feeling grateful. Be grateful for the bed you just slept in, the roof over your head, the carpet or floor under your feet, the running water, the soap, your shower, your toothbrush, your clothes, your shoes, the car that you drive, your job, your friends, your refrigerator that keeps your food cold. Be grateful for the weather, the sun, the sky, the birds, the trees, the grass, the rain, and the flowers. Be grateful for the stores that make it so easy to buy the things you need, the restaurants, the utilities and services and electrical appliances that make your life effortless. Be grateful for magazines and the books that you read. Be grateful for the chair that you sit on, and the pavement that you walk on. Be grateful for your favorite music that sweeps you away, and for movies that make you feel good. Be grateful for your phone that connects you with people, for your computer, for the electricity that lights up your life. Be grateful for air travel that flies you everywhere. Be grateful for the roads and traffic lights that keep the traffic in order. Be grateful to those who built our bridges. Be grateful for your pet, for your child, for your loved ones, for your eyes that enable you to read this. Be grateful for your imagination. Be grateful that you can think! Be grateful that you can speak. Be grateful that you can laugh and smile. Be grateful that you can breathe! Be grateful that you are alive! Be grateful that you are You! Be grateful that there are two words that can change your life!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

The more that you practice gratitude the more deeply you will feel it in your heart, and the depth of the feeling is the key. The more deeply and sincerely you feel it, the more you will bring absolute bliss and happiness on every single subject. Watch what happens in your life when you practice gratitude every single day and in every single moment and in every opportunity that you can. Remember, if you are criticizing, you are not being grateful. If you are blaming, you are not being grateful. If you are complaining, you are not being grateful. If you are feeling tension, you are not being grateful. If you are rushing, you are not being grateful. If you are in a bad mood, you are not being grateful.

To understand the power and the magic of gratitude, you have to experience it for yourself. So why not begin by deciding to find 100 things a day to be grateful for? As you practice gratitude every day, it won't take long before gratitude is your natural state of being, and when it happens you will have unlocked one of the greatest Secrets to Life.

Thank you.

Between "I love you" & "Thank You", may I ask which one is more powderful ??

Thank you. I love you.:)

Pat said...

Indeed it is the secret to a happy life. When we are grateful, we learn to be more content, and contentment, as we all know, leads to happiness!

I was actually taught this lesson many years ago, but unfortunately I've yet to fully learn it :) Thanks for the timely reminder..

Ivy said...

Expressed at the right moment to the right person, I suppose both are as important. And saying "I'm sorry" is no less important. We often take our spouse for granted and don't thank nor apologize to him/her when we should.

It isn't easy to become a better person, and few of us may ever achieve it. However, the importance is in working at it everyday, bit by bit. Afterall, it is always the journey that holds the lessons, not the goal.

Just to share a video that is related to this topic: http://tinyurl.com/24x7b6

Be warned though, it's pretty long and will take ages to load even with broadband. But its quite worthwhile, its a real story and it happened recently.

Pat said...

I forgot to mention in my previous comment - the video is almost 2 hours long! So, better to try it at home :)

mygreatbuds said...

I think in other words we must value what we have (family, friends, health, job, time, etc etc) and around us...especially when we know there are millions that are worst than us...one thing for sure, they do not have the luxury to write, read and reply on this blog.

Appreciation must come from within, inside out as we expressed our many magic words that will become more meaningful to the one who receive;
- I love you
- I am sorry
- I understand
- Thank you
- I valued you
whatelse...

Thank you Ivy for putting this good reminder again in my life and whilst Pat,...I wondering how long it will take for my to download (thks for telling me it is a two hours video...if not my GM will be screwing left irght bottom upside and center as the monthend draws near:))..will try at home..

I am beginning to say thank you to those that have done work for me.

Practice practice practice makes perfect.

Thank you.

Heroes said...

I have been said thank you many times to my friends and customers today.

Pat, i think it would be nice if you could kindly burn the movie in a VCD for each one of us in order to save our time to download lor... :-p

Gr8buds, the correct version we always hear on the screwing is "screw him left right centre"...and it's copy right you know....don't play play hor.....

Ivy, thank you for reminding me on this. Oh yeah, thank you for having lunch with me and Gr8buds this noon.....

Mr Tee said...

Heroes and gr8buds,
So have you signed up?

mygreatbuds said...

Heroes, aisey..."lu now wu ya wu chui"..you have forgetten the actual sentence..."ho lan shoot liaw beh khi ka"...not the screwing left right centre whatever...

Hey, good to say thank you but try to say thank by holding their hands and look into their eyes straight...that will be a rea ltouching moments (prepare to have a box of tissue okie).

Do you realise when a person talking in the phone...they tend to say TQ many times before putting down the line ??? Why, ha ?

Mr. Tee, we are actually discussing on how to have the year end gathering at your "chulai". Hope you will approve and "my siaw li".

mygreatbuds said...

Pat, do not listen to Heroes..always take easy way out. Do not waste your time and better spent with little Cynthia a worthwhile time.

mygreatbuds said...

I am grateful to Ivy who put up this post.

As I did the fast reading the first time...I don't get much of the meaning between lines..so..as I am on leave today, I decided to reread this post slowly...it is indeed a gracious piece of writing.

I AM GRATEFUL TO WHAT I HAVE...TQVM
