Holding Gratitude

Submitted by: Nicholas S.

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

I am a twenty year old business major student who is compassionate for all people and creatures. I have been practicing "The Secret" for many years without even realizing what I was really doing was applying the Law of Attraction.

I have studied the Law of Attraction for many years, but I have come to find a lot of what I want to attract would not come true. I could attracted the little things in like TV shows I wanted to watch, or making the lights green on the roads whenever I wanted but never money or anything like that. I could not understand why.
I remember when I read The Secret I studied the chapter on money over, and over, and over again, but I just could not make unexpected money or anything appear in my life.

I thought to myself one day that I will re-read The Secret and maybe I’ll find an answer to my question. I looked over the book and I found my answer to why I wasn’t manifesting what I desired. I was living my life as if I had to have things in my life of value to define me. For example, nice cars, money, shoes, a big huge house, But I totally forgot I have all these things.

I totally forgot to realize what I had like a big huge bed to sleep on anytime I want, a job that allows me to have money, a TV, a very nice home, and many more things. I began to FEEL (key word) how fortunate I was and how many of us don’t even realize how well off we are.

When you can let go of your ego of wanting things to define you and be appreciate of what you have you will begin to feel compassion, and that’s how you being to manifest what you want in your life.

If you don’t think you can feel gratitude for anything in your life there is the Law of Relativity, which says, “There is someone else out there that is worse off than you are, or has less than you have.” Your problems are not so bad. You have more than someone else whether it be your health, money, values, looks, whatever it is you have something to be grateful for.

When I began to feel the compassion back in my heart that is when I finally was able to begin manifesting greatness into my life. I drew in some random things like expensive Dr. Dre Head phones, a new group of friends, books, unexpected checks, and my favorite part a girlfriend who means the world to me.

If you can FEEL gratitude for what you have it will allow you to keep a feeling of non-ego and allow you to just live as if you have the things you want.
