With heartfelt thanks and abundant gratitude, this blog is dedicated to Kat Breithaupt!
Everywhere I look, I see so much good. Everything I do makes me feel happy and full of life. Everyone I meet and work with makes my life richer and fuller. Business is GREAT because I have clients I love and they love me! I am excited about my day, and all the work I do leads me to greater success and a more prosperous life. I am in the flow! All is well.
Wouldn't it be great to wake up each day with these as your first thoughts? Imagine waking up with the awareness that you can choose your thoughts. How happy will you be today? How much fun can you have interacting with clients and colleagues? How much joy will you find in the process of securing a new listing, getting a buyer into escrow, or skillfully engaging in negotiations, as you demonstrate expertise in your field? Will you be "on your game" feeling the powerful life force moving through you, inspiring others along the way? Yes, what an awesome way to start the day!
But polarity exists everywhere, so you could be one whose thoughts go in the opposite direction.
It is natural - but only out of habit - to wake up to a new day and immediately turn attention to the challenges of yesterday. Whether your business is real estate, restaurants or retail - or anything in between - we have a tendency to pick up where we left off, often returning to the thoughts and emotions of yesterday's disappointments. We relive moments already passed, and unknowingly, set our energetic "vibration" at a low frequency, and start the day from there. It's true, when working through a difficult transaction or challenging client, the professional begins his or her day be being prepared. But something very important is missed when we enter blindly into daily activity, before taking note of and being grateful for what has already been provided in our lives. Something magical happens when we wake up to the limitless possibilities of a "brand new baby day*" by first and foremost, giving thanks for what already IS. Awareness is key.
Consider now, by looking around, wherever you are, noticing the effects of your life, what is represented there. No doubt you see pictures or momentos, furishings, a coffee mug, technology devices or loved ones, food or clothing, all of which has come into your life by one means or another. Whether you've worked hard or were gifted the material items that make for a comfortable life, or you have just "wound up" in your current situation with a family, or partner, or the peace of solo living, if you're reading this blog, you have been the recipient of great good. You are here! You have life! The truth is, no matter what our particular circumstances, there is something we can call "good" in our lives. But what if your business is really, REALLY struggling? What if you seem to be losing ground in a down market, unsure of where the next paycheck is coming from? Or maybe you have excessive responsibilities/obligations, are affected by legal troubles or life-threatening illness, dramatic issues that seem insurmountable...what about that??? What about it?
Well, hold onto your hats because I'm here to let you know.....IT DOESN'T MATTER. There is ALWAYS good to see, something to be thankful for, no matter what. It is one of the most important lessons of life. And the way life works is also the way business works, so the same holds true there. We must find our way to an Attitude of Gratitude.
So, how do we get to this attitude when so many things appear to be going wrong? We get to it by looking for and finding what is going right. Starting with the little things we mostly take for granted, it's easy to say "thank you." Food and water, shelter, electricity....you get the idea...it is all a part of our good, and there is so much of it - the list is infinite. In fact, you could spend the rest of your life saying "thank you" and you would never be complete!
When we look to see the good, wherever it is, we are putting the Law of Attraction to work. What we focus on expands, so by turning toward those things that we call "good," our mental atmosphere shifts, and we become like a magnet, drawing to us even more of the good we want in our lives. "Seek and you will find" is the way from sad to glad, less to more, hard to easy....war to peace.
Look for the good and give thanks for it, and it will multiply in your life.
Knowing the infinite abundance of Life for you, with deep gratitude...I AM
