We can only start attracting new things into our lives when we are grateful for what we already have. The notion that we can be happy with our lot is not one of conformity, it is all about gratitude and being in the present. The two combined are irresistibly attractive. Think of a person that you know that loves her/his life as it is. How she/he appreciates her/his loved ones, job, friends and then feel the attractivess this person exudes. It makes you want to say: I want to have whatever she/he is having!

Allow me to paraphrase Lynne Twist, a fabulous author, from her book "The Soul of Money". She writes: "When you let go of trying to get more of what you don't really need, it frees up oceans of energy to make a difference with what you have. When you make a difference with what you have, IT EXPANDS."

The idea is that we focus on what we have and not on what we don't have. If we think about what we don't have we are invating the energy of lack/scarcity. If we think about what we do have and are grateful for it, we get more of it. It's that simple. That's how the law of attraction works. When we let go of the mind-set of scarcity, then we can take all the attention and invest it in what we have. Then, all we need to do is smile and watch it multiply. Remember: Gratitude is what brings us out of the mind-set of scarcity so....

Gear your attention toward gratitude, preferably first thing in the morning. You may want to thank a higher power for the gift of life itself, or the beauty of nature. You probably have many people in your life to feel grateful for: friends, family, someone who gave you a break - remember that it can be anyone! It may seem like a very simple suggestion but it really works! If you wake up in the morning with gratitude on your mind, it's pretty difficult, in fact almost impossible, to feel anything but peace.
