Pay it Forward – As an Expression of Universal Gratitude

Many of us will recognise the expression “Pay it Forward” from the movie of the same name but what does this actually mean? I know that paying it forward is an expression of having an “Attitude of Gratitude” because it works in harmony with the Law of Attraction to bring into our lives more of what we value, appreciate, desire and acknowledge as being “right” with our lives.

In my daily meditation I am mindful of my personal “attitude of gratitude” and not only do I focus on what I feel grateful for every day, but I keep a Gratitude Journal as well. A gratitude journal is a way to consciously call your attention to the things for which we are thankful for each day. By focusing on gratitude, we become aware of those things and consequently create a shift in our thinking to the positive. The following suggestions can help start a gratitude journal and a whole new outlook on life. Whilst having an attitude of gratitude is a wonderful experience of reminding ourselves of what we have, it also allows us to aspire toward all those things we still want and where in our lives these desires actually fit into what we already have.

Here are a few simple steps to starting a Gratitude Journal

1 Choose a blank notebook or journal to write in every day.

2 Look for things during the day for which you are grateful. Notice how the gratitude journal shifts the focus to a more positive outlook.

3 Write five thing you’re grateful for each night before bedtime. Review the day and include anything, however small or great, that was a source of gratitude that day. For example, a parking space, no queues, a beautiful flower, the smell of cut grass. Make your list personal to you.

4 Look everyday for the positive angle in all things. View any obstacles as opportunities and appreciate what they teach you about your attitude toward challenges.

5 Focus on the wonderful things in life to attract similar encounters in the course of the day. Use positive energy as a magnet to draw even more positive energy. Note these attractions in the gratitude journal.

6 Personalize the gratitude journal. Expand it with clippings, photos, quotes or verses from magazines or other sources.

Paying it forward connects to the Law of Attraction and today you can tell me what you want to attract into your life and let me show you how to achieve it.
