Your reality, your life, is first created in thought. Everything is a result of your thoughts. So then, if this is true, you can express your thankfulness with a heart of gratitude before you ever see a manifestation. You can be thankful in advance for that which you choose to manifest.

Your reality, your life, is first created in thought. Everything is a result of your thoughts.

So then, if this is true, you can express your thankfulness with a heart of gratitude before you ever see a manifestation. You can be thankful in advance for that which you choose to manifest.

Gratitude is the ultimate state for the creation of anything you desire.

Gratefulness is a state of mind, which implies that you already have what you desire. And if your mind accepts that you already have what you desire, that energy is released into the universe and immediately goes to work to create or attract that desire into your life. Gratitude is a powerful creator.

That's because gratitude is actually a physical energy. Modern science has proved what all the great religions and cultures have taught us for centuries: thankful prayer is a powerful, physical, energy that can be measured and documented.

If you choose to use prayer to help create the things you desire in your life, then you must pray in the right way. A prayer cannot plead, beg, want, or wish, or you will produce the experience of pleading, begging, wanting, or wishing for those things. This type of prayer is a statement of lack, which produces the experience of wanting the thing you desire, not having it. The most powerful prayer is a prayer of gratitude, believing that those things you desire are already answered.

The Bible states, "that whatsoever things you ask for when you pray, believe you receive them, and you shall have them."

If you look closely at the lives of great spiritual leaders, you will see they practice the simple but profound energy of gratitude every day. Nobel Peace Prize winners build their phenomenal lives on the solid foundation of a daily practice of gratitude, and as a result, they become gifts to our world. His Holiness the Dalai Lama, President Jimmy Carter and Mother Teresa all drew inner strength in the face of great challenges and grew to see that these events taught them forgiveness and gratitude.

You may ask the question, how can I create this state of gratitude in the face of chaos in the world, or chaos in my own life?

There is a sanctuary of peace within that will quiet any outer storm. You may not be able to control the world around you, and the decisions other people make, but you can control how you respond. You have a choice. You can allow yourself to become distressed, or make the decision to create an inner state of peace and tranquility. By practicing AlphaKardia PowerConnect or some type of meditation every day, you are connecting yourself to the Creator ... your anchor in the storms of life ... and all things become possible.
