Description

Attract Opportunities Through Gratitude
I'm the kind of person who will tell you thank you twice for something then proceed to tell you again an hour later.
Not only that, I have zero issues with dishing out a hug or two when someone makes my day. You've officially been warned so be prepared to get uncomfortable if we ever meet.
This may annoy people, but I'd rather be the person who says thank you too much than the person who doesn't at all.
With tomorrow being Thanksgiving, I not only want to show some public gratitude but also want to challenge your way of thinking as we close off 2017.
What I talk about many people won't be open to nor agree with and that's totes okay. This show is meant to challenge the lens of how you see the world, hence the name Perspective Podcast.
I'm a very open-minded person. However, growing up I was extremely narrow-minded. Believing only what people closest to me influenced me to believe.
I was closed off to anything that challenged my way of thinking.
Yet I was always a thankful person. While I never came from money, I realize that I had a lot of things going for me. There was always a support system of family and friends around me.
Fast forward to today. While I may not accept everything, like how someone can support Trump, my goal is to understand and form my opinion from there.
So today, I want you to be open-minded about a concept of gratitude and the Law of Attraction. You don't have to accept it but seek first to understand than to be understood as Steven Covey states.
What Do You Have to Lose?
Until I hit my early to mid-twenties, I had spent my life playing a victim. My mind was wired to expect nothing significant to come my way and that's exactly what manifested...nothing.
It seemed I could never catch a break as I was lost drifting day-day-to with no purpose.
I needed a change.
But in order for me to change, I had to change my way of thinking.
I was introduced to the Law of Attraction from my Aunt Margie when she gifted me the book The Secret.
The concept seemed a bit crazy but I figured what did I have to lose? I had only everything to gain.
Being skeptical, I dug a little deeper and found a ton of scientific evidence tied to this theory.
What sold me was some of the biggest celebrities I respect such as Will Smith, Jim Carey, Oprah Winfrey and Denzel Washington swear about how they've applied this to their lives.
There are flaws in The Secret that understandably create skeptics. Yet this book opened me to a new way of thinking that has benefited me throughout the years.
Your Thoughts Create Your Reality
Over a year ago, My good friend Scott Biersack (@Youbringfire) recommended two books by the author named Pam Grout.
The first book was: E-Squared: Nine Do-It-Yourself Energy Experiments That Prove Your Thoughts Create Your Reality.
The second book was Thank & Grow Rich: A 30-Day Experiment in Shameless Gratitude and Unabashed Joy.
The principles I learned from The Secret were amplified upon reading New York Times Best Seller E-Squared.
Pam gives you practical steps and tests for changing how you think in order to attract positive change in your life.
Her book Thank & Grow Rich relates specifically to attracting things into your life through gratitude.
I believe 100% that it works after the abundant amount of opportunities that have come my way the last 3 years.
Two Steps for Using Gratitude Effectively
Here's a brief excerpt from a blog post of hers relating to her theory of gratitude:
"Ferocious gratitude, as I wrote about in my last book, is causative energy. It literally brings things to life. Knowing and acknowledging that you live a blessed life makes things happen. It draws in even more blessings. In other words, gratitude is the foundation for all manifestation.
There are two steps for using it most effectively.
First, give thanks that whatever reality appears to be true right now is one of a gazillion possibilities. Struggling to pay your bills or flying solo may seem rock so
