23. WAKE UP TO YOUR EVERYDAY POWER

Do you walk around feeling powerless and helpless more often than not? It's a common state of mind, but an unfortunate one because it undermines your true power to create a beautiful life for yourself and your family.

What if you could be Cinderella or Cinderfella for a day? What would you wish for? What would you ask your fairy godmother to grant with that magic wand of hers?

Think about the things on your dream list and understand that if they are on your list not just as a passing fancy, but as something that makes you feel more alive just dreaming about it, then you have the full capability of manifesting them.

I define a passing fancy or idle wish as being the type of idle wish a teenager might have of being a rock star or celebrity because it would be so cool, and you'd get all the clothes you want and travel everywhere. But it's not a serious dream, it's shrugged off and either vanishes from lack of attention or is outgrown.

The difference between that idle wish you don't really believe in, and your dream that you really want is that with focused thoughts, you can bring your dream into reality.

The lesson material has been in front of us for countless centuries in ancient texts which tell us that we become what we think about, and that what we need to do is ask while believing, and then we will receive.

And yet we have not understood the broader application of these principles. With the advent of quantum physics, we've been gaining a better understanding, although certainly not a complete understanding, of how we affect energy with our thoughts and our observations of life going on all around us.

By becoming more awake and aware of our ability to change our results by controlling our thoughts, we access the power to create.

It turns out that demonstrating appreciation is the quickest way to activate this energy of creation. Say "thank you" again and again throughout the day. Doing so puts you in vibrational harmony with the universe and all its abundance.

When we enter and remain in a state of gratitude, we are saying thank you for all that we already have in our lives, and we are also being grateful for all that is to come.

When I was growing up, we always said grace before dinner. At the time I didn't realize I was being taught the universal law of gratitude. While saying the words by rote – Bless us, oh Lord, and these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty through Christ our Lord– my head was bowed, and I was looking at dinner on the plate in front of me. And at the end of grace, we always said Amen.

However, instead of grasping and learning about the power of being grateful in advance for what I wanted, I simply made the connection that I was thanking God for something that was already there: my dinner.

I didn't see the incredible ramifications of the phrases in that short prayer of thanksgiving:

1. "Bless us" –shower upon me all that I desire and require to create a fulfilling life.

2. "Gifts" – my life is a gift, and so is everything in it.

3. "About to receive" – I must open up to receptivity and not block my good by inadvertently pushing it away in doubt.

4. "Bounty" – there is unlimited abundance in this universe, it expands with each request of mine for more.

5. "Christ" – the Christ consciousness is a metaphysical awareness that we become what we think about, and we create our own reality by the power of our emotion-filled thoughts.

5. "Amen" – and so it is. It is done.

When we wake up to our relationship with the One Mind, we become more and more aware of our role here on Earth. We are here to help the universe continue to expand, to blossom, to create more and more new experiences and things that never were before.

When we understand this is an abundant universe that has bottomless wealth available for us, we can let go of the old ideas that there is only a small amount of money on earth and we'd better hurry and grab our share before someone tries to steal it.

When we are constantly grateful in advance for what we desire, we put ourselves in a vibrational state of pure joy that attracts all we want and even more from the benevolence and goodness of the Spirit.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Say "thank you" often, say it even when you feel you have nothing to be grateful for. Demonstrate your appreciation for life, and miracles will come to you in unexpected ways.
