I'll share a secret with you.  The key to getting more in your life is by being grateful for what you already have. An "attitude of gratitude" changes the way you feel inside and changes your interactions with your others as well as with the environment. It also acts as a magnet that helps you draw more good things into your life. It's the spark that drives the Law of Attraction.

I began my "attitude of gratitude" by reviewing what happened each day right before I went to sleep and thinking of 5 things that I was grateful for. They didn't have to be big things. It would be that my air-conditioning worked when the temperature was 110 outside, or that I got a phone call right when I needed it, or that I saw a beautiful sunset, or there was a left-turn signal on a particularly busy intersection. My list could include the fact that I tried a particularly delicious new food, that I cleaned out my closet or that I received a compliment from a client about the impact working with me had on changing her life.
 

After doing this nightly for a few months, I sent an email to several friends and asked them if they wanted to be my "gratitude buddy". That meant that every week I'd send them my email listing what I was grateful for. It couldn't contain everything, just the highlights from the previous week. Many people said yes so I sent out my list every Sunday. What a powerful experience this was as it took positive energy and expanded it as it traveled through the ethers to my buddy's computer. Often they'sent me their list in return. As I read their list, I could feel their gratitude and it increased my own.

What you focus your attention on you get more of. I'd much prefer to focus on the positive than on the negative!! Even when things aren't going the way I'd like, I can always find something to be grateful for. Once I look for the "gift" in every situation, the situation immediately improves and for that I'm grateful.
