GN #9: An Attitude of Gratitude Will Change Your World!

"And he who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious; and the things of this earth shall be added unto him, even an hundred fold, yea, more"(Doctrine and Covenants 78:19).

One of the biggest things I learned is that having and attitude of gratitude can help you to be cheerful and see all the blessings in your life.  It helps you be positive and know that the Lord has given you much and the more gratitude you express the more blessings you see in your life!  Every morning I get up and kneel next to my bed offering a prayer of gratitude to my Heavenly Father thanking him for all the blessings I have in my wonderful life!  I thank him for the opportunity I have to create my best day ever and for all the opportunities he will put in my path to allow me to teach and assist others in their perfect growth processes.  When I began doing this, I noticed a huge change in my life!  Instead of seeing all the bad things around me and the things that I perceived ruined my day, I saw all the small miracles that made up the good things in my life.  All of the sudden my life was beautiful!  I just had to change my perspective!

Change your attitude to one of gratitude and your life will be blessed even more!

GN #8: Change is hard, but I can do hard things!

It doesn't matter where you are in life, change will find you!  Even if you lock yourself in your room and sit around all day, you will change (and usually not for the better).  This whole shift in my life was a big, fat, giant change for me.  A change that had been a long time coming.  I desired a change in my life for many, many years, but just couldn't get anything to stick.  I would go on weight watchers, then revert back to my old self.  I would read self-help books and try to do what they said, then revert back to my old patterns. 

When I first learned of Marci's program, a part of me shuddered at the price.  Why would I want to pay that much money for something when I would just revert back to my old patterns and behaviors when it was over?  Then as I've mentioned before I met with Marci and learned some reasons I wasn't been able to create lasting change in my patterns and behaviors.  One of the things that helped me to take that big step and do the program was the scripture in Phil. 4:13,

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

I was reminded that I can do hard things because my Savior will assist me in making the changes that I need to make to be the best person I can be.  He will assist me to become what he needs me to be.  I was led to this path so I may learn of my divine greatness and share my knowledge with others, so they too may see their greatness and live the amazing lives they were meant to live!
