Giving Thanks... A Universal Gift by Laurie Kristensen

Giving Thanks... A Universal Gift by Laurie Kristensen

In the USA we celebrate Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday in November every year. However, I've come to understand that there is great, POSITIVE power in having an "attitude of gratitude" all year long, that can create measurable differences in your life.
No matter where in the world you call home, and whether you traditionally take a day to celebrate the idea of giving thanks, or not -- let this be a reminder to stop and really take the time to count your blessings.

Counting your blessings and taking time to appreciate the special people in your life can be done any time, any place, at no financial expense... and it's truly a gift to yourself, as well as to those you thank.

That's because, simply, what you focus on grows! As a result, you begin to experience even more to be grateful for in your life!

In fact, a daily practice of writing your gratitude lists can literally create miracles for you, as your mood is consistently lifted by the wonderful, energized feelings you generate, by your powerful decision to CHOOSE your own thoughts, concentrating on realizing just how much you already have to feel thankful for!

I would also suggest that you keep these lists in a special notebook or computer file, and not share them with anybody. Ive learned that until our dreams are actually manifested, its best to either keep them and our gratitude lists to ourselves or ONLY shared with those whom we can utterly trust to add SUPPORTIVE energy to our gratitude and dreams. Otherwise we may create an energy leak that will deflate our efforts. Keep your gratitude lists sacred, and build up their energy by prizing them as you would a treasure... each day as you add to your energy bank of gratitude, the potency of your lists will grow!

Taking the time out of your busy schedule to make your gratitude lists on a regular basis, and making the effort to express your gratitude OFTEN to the special people in your life, is a gift that can be given freely to yourself and to those you care for. And, your heartfelt words of appreciation are often MORE precious and long-cherished by the receiver than even the most expensive purchased gift could ever be!

What is your Charisma Quotient? by Paul Sanford

What is your Charisma Quotient? by Paul Sanford

Having Charisma is that special something which allows you to walk into a room and instantly draw attention to yourself. It is a feeling of self-confidence which attracts people to you like moths to a flame.

The person with Charisma commands respect and radiates power everywhere they go. It isnt something they have to do or say. Its kind of an inner glow which radiates outward and makes people feel at ease in their presence.

People who have Charisma get everything they want in life There is no shortage of admirers who just want to help them get to where they want to go.

Charisma makes you irresistible.

It is not something which only some can have. It is in all of us and can be developed.

Its just a matter of getting in touch with itof activating it.

Charisma can make you a master salesperson. It can make you influential.

One of the benefits of tapping into this source is that ability to connect with people. The ability to have instant rapport with someone.

Another is the ability to float through life. Not expending energy unnecessarily.

Elvis had it. James Bond had it. Princess Diana and Mother Teresa had it.

There are people in all walks of life that have that confidencethat optimism.

Your DNA has little to do with Charisma. It seems to be more of a learned trait than anything else.

One way of capturing this sometimes illusive ability is to emulate someone who has it. Everybody knows someone who is popular, loves life and seems to get everything they want easily.

When you are in their company, notice how they draw glanceshow they interact easily with others. How they conduct themselves with dignity.

See yourself being and acting as they do. Incorporate the feeling that comes with living life with ease and grace.

Take deeper breaths and draw out your inner voice. Itll be more powerful and enthusiastic...

Look on the bright side of everything Relax more than you ever have. See yourself as being successful in every way.

Be the new you.. See it. Feel it. Be it..
