                                                        ~*~      GIVING    THANKS      ~*~

     ~*~     We live, for the most part, lives dominated by self-created routine and unskilful obligation.

    It is when we come upon moments of thankfulness that we become truly alive.   Thankfulness is an

    immensely powerful skillful thought energy and this is why it is good to give thanks every day.

    ~*~     In giving thanks daily, we start to connect to the underlying forces of abundance.  Give thanks

    not just for what you have, but also for what you do not have.    Give thanks for all the good and the 

    bad, the positive and the negative in your life. Give thanks, also, that you are free from the problems

    that others have.    In this way you keep yourself free of these problems and you also lessen the 

    misfortunes of others.

    ~*~     To give thanks is to open your heart.      To open your heart is to experience what others

    experience.   To experience what others experience is the first step in developing compassionate

    thought energy that can help others to be free of suffering and bring them happiness, wisdom,

    and the power to create prosperity.   Giving thanks teaches each of us the special responsibility 

    that we have to use our personal and global resources wisely.        

    ~*~     Giving thanks heals the pain of the bad things and creates new opportunities for growth.

    It also secures and increases the power of the good things in every area of your life.   Giving

    thanks brings peace, beauty and understanding to the skillful thought energy that lies behind

    all prosperity.     Above all, give thanks for yourself  -  for who you are, have been and shall be

    in the future.       ~*~
