Gratitude is an important element of our prosperity. When we express our gratitude for what we have in our lives we align our energy to receive even more of the same in our lives.

Put simply, being grateful makes us magnets for more prosperity and abundance. Huge magnets.

Invoking this power is simple: express your gratitude for something, anything you have in your life. Size doesn’t matter on this one. If you found a penny on the ground this morning, celebrate it! After all, you just got something for nothing - free money - two things, interestingly enough, that “common wisdom” says don’t exist.

Still don’t think you have anything to be grateful for? How about the fact that you managed to read this blog in the first place? How great that you’ve got access to a computer and the internet! Got a roof over your head? How about the fact that the air you breathe is free? If you take the time to look, you’ll absolutely find something to be grateful for. And the more you find, the more you’ll find.

So on an ending note, here’s my own list of things I’m grateful for today:

I am grateful to be on this path of prosperity consciousness and effortless living I am currently sailing.

I am grateful to share my knowledge with others to help them determine their own paths.

I am grateful to be in such positive energy that grows more each moment.

I am grateful to have released so many beliefs that didn’t serve me and replaced them with beliefs that support my abundance.

I am grateful that I am increasingly more present in every moment of my life.

I am grateful to know that I can choose happiness at every moment, and do so most of the time.

I am grateful that I release judgment, especially of myself in those times I do not choose happiness.

I am grateful that I attract more abundance into my life, and celebrate every time I receive, be it a penny on the ground or a thousand dollars into my bank account.

Above all else I am grateful for my entire life experience, and that I am truly enjoying every aspect and experience of my life.
