The Attitude Of Gratitude - Gratitude Quotes

Gratitude Quotes.
When we express gratitude for what we have it opens the doors to abundance, and instills in us the attitude of gratitude. Giving attention to Gratitude quotes help us to make a subtle shift in the way we perceive life. It helps us to stay on track, move forward and to remember how important it is to be grateful for the many blessings that come into our lives which otherwise we would take for granted.

Here are some gratitude quotes that I hope will challenge, inspire, and cause you to reflect on all that you have to be grateful for in life.

“If you want to turn your life around, try thankfulness. It will change your life mightily.”  Gerald Good
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others. Cicero.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, and confusion into clarity…. It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow. Melodie Beattie

We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.” — Cynthia Ozick

“What if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for it-would you be likely to give them another? Life is the same way. In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have.” Ralph Marston

“Feeling grateful or appreciative of someone or something in your life actually attracts more of the things that you appreciate and value into your life.” — Christiane Northrup

“Both abundance and lack exist simultaneously in our lives, as parallel realities. It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend… when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that’s present — love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure — the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience Heaven on earth.” –Sarah Ban Breathnach

“Gratitude should not be just a reaction to getting what you want, but an all-the-time gratitude, the kind where you notice the little things and where you constantly look for the good, even in unpleasant situations. Start bringing gratitude to your experiences, instead of waiting for a positive experience in order to feel grateful.” — Marelisa Fábrega

For today and its blessings, I owe the world an attitude of gratitude. –Clarence E. Hodges

Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse. Henry Van Dyke.

Gratitude is when memory is stored in the heart and not in the mind.  Lionel Hampton.

If a fellow isn’t thankful for what he’s got, he isn’t likely to be thankful for what he’s going to get. Frank A. Clark

If you count all your assets, you always show a profit. Robert Quillen

The Attitude of Gratitude–How to Cultivate A Grateful Heart


There’s a beautiful praise song that I recall singing years ago called Give Thanks with a Grateful Heart that came to my mind this morning. I asked myself what it means to live with the attitude of gratitude, and how I could cultivate a grateful heart. I realized that it begins by self reflection and contemplating on gratitude.

It made me think of this saying by Albert Einstein “A hundred times a day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depends on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the measure as I have received and am still receiving.”

The other quote is by Dietrich Bonhoeffer who said “In ordinary life we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich. It is very easy to overestimate the importance of our achievements in comparison with what we owe others.”

Greg Krech author of Niakan: Gratitude, Grace and the Japanese Art of self expression is one of the leading authorities in Niakan in the USA. Niakan is a form of the Japanese art of self reflection which translates as “inside observation,” or “seeing one’s self through the mind’s eye.”

It is structured to focus your attention on your own conduct in relationship with parents, siblings, friends, partners, co-workers and neighbors. It also encourages you to accept life’s events rather than become mired in your feelings about them.

The self reflection is based on three questions that you ask yourself in relationship to your partner, parents, siblings, children and friends.
1.    What did I receive from others today__________?
2.    What did I give to others today __________?
3.    What troubles and difficulties did I cause others today __________?

Take the first of the three questions; you could have received a phone call from your mother to see how you were doing, your children took the garbage out this morning without being asked to do so, and your boss congratulated you on a job well done. Often you may not pay any attention to these small things and take them for granted, and notice only the blocks and problems that come your way. Had you given attention to those little blessings you would have been strengthened at the support that came your way.

The second self reflection question is what have I given to others today? This could be a smile or a word of encouragement that you gave a colleague, giving a lift to a neighbor, or baby sitting your granddaughter. Reflecting on this question gives you a conscious realization of the  contribution that you gave to others.

The third question can be a bit of a challenge. You may  notice when others are late and have kept you waiting, or someone taking your parking spot, yet you may not even be aware when you are the source of the problem or  think that it wasn’t such a big deal,  justifying  it with some excuse.

However this is a question that needs to be taken seriously. It takes courage and a willingness to look at yourself with truth and honesty. If you fail to do so, you will continue to cause pain to others by your thoughtlessness, and continue to be the source of someone else’s suffering. This should in no way cause you to beat upon your self, or  cause you to feel shame or guilt. The whole point of self reflection is to increase your state of awareness.

Self reflection on these three questions is one of the best ways to cultivate a grateful heart. It will generate in you a feeling of gratitude. It will arouse in you the desire to give something back, not out of obligation but because you are overflowing with a grateful heart for all the support and love that you have received from others.

The Attitude Of Gratitude – The Law of Attraction and Gratitude

December 30, 2009 by Brenda Blindenbach  
Filed under Raising Consciousness


The Law of Attraction tells us that “like attracts like”. Have you noticed that people who like each other hang out together?  When you operate from the attitude of gratitude you resonate and send out a frequency of acceptance and harmony, and as a result you attract to you the events, conditions, and circumstances that match that frequency.

However when you choose to resist or fight whatever you find not to your liking you are creating resistance. This is how you resist, by focusing on thoughts and emotions that may go like this “why is this happening to me?” “Life is not fair”  “It’s not my fault”, etc. Resistance is placing your focus on what you would rather not have happening to you at this moment.

As you resonate with that frequency you will continue to attract those events, circumstances and dis- harmonious events into your life. The Law of Attraction makes it clear that you will literally attract to yourself, the things that your thoughts are focused on.

Gratitude or being grateful for what you have on the other hand is an acceptance of things just the way they are which correlates with acceptance.  This in turn resonates and sends out a much different resonance of energy creating a magnetic force that is conducive to attracting the “desired” outcome.

The first step is to deal with the thoughts and the emotions that have surfaced up for you that are causing you to be worried, anxious, fearful, guilty etc. They are not bad nor are they good. They just are, as a result of your beliefs and perceptions about life. This is what you are feeling at this moment. So own, acknowledge them, observe them and release them. Then remind yourself that you are at this moment truly abundant.

The next step is to change your frame of reference with positive words and affirmations on a daily basis, and taking some time to feel grateful for all the things that you have. You can begin by being grateful for having a roof over your head, food on the table, clothes on your back. “Count your blessings instead of sheep” as the song says.

Let`s look at how developing the consistent attitude of gratitude which will execute the Law of Attraction on your behalf. Everything in its purest form in the universe is pure energy. Your thoughts, feelings and emotions that you are broadcasting determines your  vibrational frequency which attracts to you exactly what you want to manifest into  your life.

For the purpose of this illustration consider that you are a powerful magnet and whatever you may be feeling- frustration, anger, rejection, love, compassion or joy, you are in reality drawing to you the conditions that are experiencing. If for instance you fear something, that creates an attractive force that will draw to you more of what you fear.

When you express gratitude for whatever situation that you are facing, trusting that everything happens for a reason, and that reason is there to serve you, that draws to you more of what you are grateful for. This means that whenever you are not expressing gratitude for an outcome, you are actually in resistance, because it causes you to focus on not wanting that outcome. When you are not expressing gratitude your thoughts and emotions are focused on what you don’t want, which draws more of what you don’t want.

When you are experiencing a situation that is not to your liking it may not be that easy to feel grateful for that situation. However you do have a choice. So begin by releasing or letting go of those emotions that are not serving you. That will bring you to a neutral state which allows you to make a shift in your paradigm, and does bring you to a place of choice. Now it is easier to give heartfelt thanks for “what is”.

Surrendering and being grateful for  gets you out of the way, creating a magnetic force that is essential to attracting the desired outcome.

The Attitude of Gratitude –Express Gratitude

December 16, 2009 by Brenda Blindenbach  
Filed under Raising Consciousness


One of the first ways to develop the attitude of gratitude is to express gratitude with your words when someone has served you in one way or the other. Most people find it easier being grateful for the big things that happen in their lives and forget to be grateful for all the small things that come into their lives on a daily basis.

Notice all the little acts of kindness that people do for you, a sincere compliment, a word of encouragement, a friend that pays for your coffee and donut, the $2.00 coupon off for your haircut that you received in the mail. Get into the habit of giving thanks and feeling grateful for everything.

If you have challenges being grateful for things start by feeling grateful for the big things and then the small things and finally for everything including what you consider being a challenge. As a result of this you will start to express gratitude not only with your words but by your actions.

Gratitude Journal
Writing in a gratitude journal is a way of reminding yourself to constantly look for reasons or things that you can be grateful for. Write five things 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, e.g., a sunny day, a flower in bloom, or the smell of homemade baking. Make the list personal. Write a few words about the five benefits or blessings. Be brief and increase the length as time progresses

If you have children getting them to keep a journal would be a good way of recording all the things that they are grateful for on a daily basis. This way they will get into the habit of not taking anything for granted. They can begin the sentence by saying Today I am grateful for __________________________ and fill in the blank for whom and what they are grateful for that day.

Create a Gratitude Box
Have a supply of art and scrap booking supplies for your children to write and draw thank you cards. They can have fun decorating them using ribbons, stickers, drawings, shells, photos, markers and pictures from magazines, and then giving it to the person themselves or mailing it.

Writing thank you notes is almost a lost art but if it is cultivated when children are young they will continue to do it as adults in some form or the other by email, phoning, sending a card, texting etc.

Gratitude Songs.
Children love to sing and dance. Here is a gratitude song that children love to sing and do the actions. “If you’re Happy and You Know It.” Do you remember doing this action song when you were young?

If you’re thankful and you know it, clap your hand x 2
If you`re thankful and you know it,
Then your face will surely show it
If you`re thankful and you know it, clap your hands.

Other verses:
If you’re thankful and you know it, stop your feet …….
If you`re thankful and you know it, shout “I am” …….
If you`re thankful and you know it, do all three ……..

Implementing the attitude of gratitude unlocks all the good things in life that are in store for you; it changes your perspective from confusion and chaos into clarity and order, shifts uncertainty to  comprehension and understanding , causing you to see the gift in every challenge and the so called mistakes into important events.

So just thank Life and the Universe and be grateful for everyone and everything that is sent into your life as they are there in your life for a reason.

Here is a wonderful video -another way of reminding you of these truths you’ve just read about. Allow the lyrics and the exquisite music raise your consciousness to another level.

The Attitude of Gratitude – 5 ways To Develop It

December 11, 2009 by Brenda Blindenbach  
Filed under Raising Consciousness


It’s easy in our busyness to take things for granted yet if we have cultivated the attitude of gratitude we will remember to give thanks for the many blessings that we have which will allow for more abundance to flow into our lives.

What is gratitude? Gratitude is “the quality or feeling of being grateful or thankful.” It comes from the Latin word gratia meaning favour, pleasing. Gratefulness broken down can read Great Fullness.

Gratitude is a choice. It doesn’t come easily to us. Most of us were taught as children to say “thank you” when someone gave us a present or did something nice for us. After a while the thank you can become quite glib unless we learn ways to cultivate the attitude of gratitude.

If you are a parent instead of just telling your children that they need to say thank you for something nice that someone did for them, explain to them that the person thought of them and took the time to get them that present or did that nice thing for them. This way it is less likely for them to do it by rote or obligation.

Model this yourself and let your child know how grateful you are for them and for everything in your life. Children notice and are aware of everything, and they will imitate whatever you do, so it goes without saying that they will learn from your example.

Gratitude is also a skill and it is never too late to learn a skill.  Teach your children that it only takes a moment of opening their eyes to see all the blessings around them. As they make this a habit and look for these blessings, very soon it will become their reality. Each night before they go to bed ask them to ask themselves this question. What am I grateful for today?

Here are some things to keep in mind to develop an attitude of gratitude:

Express Gratitude.
When we are grateful we need to express gratitude. If we don’t bring to our awareness and experience the gift of gratitude we will start to take things for granted, complain, find fault and focus on what we don’t want or don’t have rather than all the things that we do have.

The Law of Attraction and Gratitude.
When you are in a state of gratitude you are resonating and sending out a frequency of acceptance and harmony, and as a result you resonate at a much higher vibrational frequency which is what attracts to you the events, conditions, and circumstances that you desire.

A Grateful Heart.
There’s a beautiful praise song that I recall singing years ago called Give Thanks with a Grateful Heart that came to my mind this morning. I asked myself what it means to have a grateful heart. I realised that it begins by reflecting and contemplating on gratitude.

Gratitude Quotes.
When we express heartfelt gratitude for what we have it opens the doors to abundance. One way is by reflecting on gratitude quotes which will help us make a subtle shift in the way we perceive life, and helps us to stay on track and move forward.

Here is a short video providing a new perspective on gratitude.

What Are Archetypes?

April 27, 2008 by Brenda Blindenbach  
Filed under Raising Consciousness


When we were born we came in with a clean slate but as time went by we became conscious of how people expected us to act and behave. Our family, friends, teachers, peers, culture and society had a great influence on shaping our beliefs. When we took on other people’s beliefs and fears by blindly embracing their views we got depleted and drained of life’s energy.

Your beliefs affect every part of your life. They affect your health, relationships, wealth and everything that you do. Have you considered that your beliefs might just be the thoughts that you accept to be true? If you don’t figure what your beliefs are and you take them for granted thinking that everything will work out for your good, it will eventually catch up with you until you’ve sorted it out.

We need to identify our belief system if we are to continue with our journey in this life. We all have a belief system but we may not know how it affects our lives.

A belief system supplies us with a core set of values or rules on which we base everything we believe, say or do. Our conscious mind then takes these rules and realigns them which makes it easier to process and then stores it in our subconscious mind.

A belief is more than what you think is true. It is a succession of filters through which we interperate what we see, which will be supported through our actions. We perceive the world through our five senses, our emotions and what we place our attention on. When we agree to the limiting impressions of any ideas or opinions that we have received from our parents, family, peers or our culture, then these ideas become beliefs and we eventually take action according to those beliefs.

You have probably heard the saying that we create our own reality, but most often we are doing so unconsciously. How can we consciously create our reality? And how do our belief systems play a part in that creation? Where do these beliefs come from? Can we change them and if so how do we do that?

Our feelings create memories which are stored in our subconscious mind. These memories are passed down to us from generation to generation. We then play a role based on these memories. We play the role of the damsel in need of rescue, or the scrooge, enchantress,or beggar. These roles that we play are made apparent through archetypal patterns.

What are archetypes? Archetypes are patterns that are universally recognised. We see archetypes in fairy tales, movies, myths, and literature. When you watch a movie what part do you see yourself playing - the role of the hero, the princess that needs to be rescued, the underdog, victim or the warrior?

We talk to each other through symbols and it’s also the way that we describe ourselves to each other. Do you find yourself exasperated at someone who is always whinnying? We describe them as a victim. Do you want to kick yourself or others when you or they mess up? Do you feel like a bully? Do you always use laughter or jokes and act the “clown” so that you don’t have to take a look at yourself? Or use service and suffering for means of control and manipulations and take on the role of a martyr?

Although we use this language everyday to describe ourselves and others we are unaware that this symbology can be used to get a deeper understanding of who we are. These archetypal patterns and stories have been handed down to us in the memory of our DNA from our ancestors when we were born.

Many archetypes dance with each other, like knights and damsels, teacher and student, advocate and victim. Whether we know it or not we play these roles repeatedly.When we become aware of the role that the archetypes play in our lives we are able to see what excites us and what kind of relationships we are drawn to. This awareness increases our level of consciousness and helps us to make better choices.

Each archetype has a light and shadow side to it. The shadow side holds us back from what we want. It manifests itself in us as being stuck, depressed, and fearful. The light side of the archetype connects us with the perfect blueprint of our soul, our higher essence and purpose.

Archetypes assist us in identifying what is in our subconscious. They demonstrate both the light and the shadow that is connected to every archetype. The light areas of the archetype are readily recognised and accepted, while we project onto others the shadow side. They help us to recognise the unconscious aspects of ourselves and help to awaken those parts of us that have been asleep and lying dormant.

It is through the understanding of these archetypal patterns that we are able to bypass the illusions of the matrix and get a clear picture of what is going on in our subconscious mind. Becoming aware of which archetype is playing out in your life will allow you to release the major programs that have been with you since birth.

It will cause you to stop, take a step back and take stock of what is happening. That will help to keep the focus on yourself and not on the other person or circumstance. There is no choice without awareness.

In the EIP (Eliminating Interference Patterns) that I teach we use the information gathered from the archetypes to help you discover and release the blocks that a particular pattern that has been set up in your belief system. For instance if you are looking for the ideal job and you have not been able to find it, the archetype of the miser might show up in the process which would reveal a DNA belief patterning of “not enough.” In other words the vibration that is being sent out to the universe is “not enough” because that is what you are resonating. When this vibration is released from your DNA you will attract “more than enough” into your life.

You can participate in the “Powerful Group Healing and Deeksha Blessing” teleseminar dealing on finances, relationships and emotions respectively using the EIP process on:

Mapping Human Consciousness

March 13, 2008 by Brenda Blindenbach  
Filed under Raising Consciousness


A psychiatrist named Dr. David Hawkins shared the remarkable results of a 29 year study using kinesiology to evaluate the vibrations of feeling in his book “Power versus Force.” He created a scale from 1-1000 that mapped human consciousness. He demonstrated that this map could be used as a blueprint to reach higher states of consciousness by using Kinesilogy.

Dr. David Hawkins says that all vibrations below 200 are very simple geometric patternings that block your greatness and the realm of possibilities. Three quarters of the world is vibrating in this low vibrational frequency.

The lowest range on Dr. David Hawkins’ map is shame which calibrated at a vibration of 20, guilt at 30, apathy at 50, grief at 75, fear at 100, greed at 125, anger at 150, and pride at 175.

The critical turning point is at level 200. All levels below 200 are destructive and cause deterioration. All levels above 200 are constructive and expansive. Courage and integrity calibrated at a vibration of 200, willingness at 310, acceptance at 350, reason at 400, love at 500, joy at 540, peace at 600, and enlightenment at 700 - 1000.

Here is an example of how it works. India was colonized by the British for 200 years and much of their motivation was to do with self interest and exploitation. They calibrated at 175 on the map of consciousness. Ghandi calibrated at 700. Who would have thought that one man could defeat the might British Empire? The British represented force and Ghandi represented power. As they have done in the past nations still continue to use force to dominate and control the people of other nations. It has been shown throughout history that whenever force meets power, force is ultimately defeated.

Having an awareness of the difference between power versus force, and understanding that power is much stronger than force can have a great significance for you as an individual, for society and for the planet. We know that no lasting change can occur in our society, government, nation or the world until the change first starts with us. The easiest way is to focus on increasing our power.

How do we do this? Margaret Ruby the founder of Possibilities DNA, uses this understanding of power versus force that is at the heart of vibrational medicine. By using numerical mapping (numbers attached to beliefs) instead of Kinesiology and other tools the stumbling blocks that are preventing your progress are revealed with amazing accuracy, allowing you to trancend them.

What does success mean to you? Part 3

December 1, 2007 by Brenda Blindenbach  
Filed under Raising Consciousness


Your sub conscious mind is like a huge computer that records everything that you see, hear, taste, feel and smell. The sub conscious mind is so powerful tht it can recognise, file and store 100 million pieces of information per second. Mind boggling isn’t it? What the most powerful computer in this world can do pales in comparison to what your sub conscious mind is capable of doing.

Even the most intelligent people only use 5% of their mind. What is the reason for this? Here is what happens what happens to a baby right from the time of conception. The baby begins to receive information from all it’s senses while still in the womb. Most of this programming is formed during the formative years until the age of seven, after which time the conscious mind is formed.

Research studies have shown that the average child receives at least twenty negative messages from their parents for every positive one. The word tht parents use the most is “No.” The child is told most often “You can’t do this,” or you can’t do that,” or ” No, don’t do that.”

Parents also talk in front of their children without realising that their children hear and receive as truth eveything that they or the relatives are saying about them. All this negative goes straight into their sub conscious mind when such statements are made:

He’s not amiable like his brother.

He’s always crying and gives us so much trouble.

She will never amount to anything.

He’s not smart enough to go to university.

Of course good things are also said but not nearly enough. People look at the negative circumstances that are taking place in their lives and focus on that. The sub conscious mind records everything -the attitudes, values and fears of the parents, their limiting beliefs and the decisions based on those beliefs such as:

Money doesn’t grow on trees.

You have to work hard for money.

I’m just making it from pay cheque to pay cheque.

Every thing is so expensive.

I can’t afford it.

This was the beginning of the conditioning that you received which formed your beliefs, values and personality when you were young, and continues to do so for the rest of your life, unless they are changed.

We are also continually receiving information from our environment. One of the ways this happens is through that little voice that is always judging the information that you receive against your beliefs and values that have been stored in your sub conscious mind. If they are in alignment with your beliefs, you accept it, if not you will reject it.

There is a part of your brain that is looking for information in the outer world to support the beliefs and values which are present in your inner world. It will say things like:

I’m just not good with money.

I have such a hard time getting along with my family.

I never seem to get ahead.

I’m not good enough.

Have you had the chatter in your head telling you what you can and what you can’t do? Has it been mainly positive or negative? That voice that talks to you constantly is just like a mirror which is reflecting what is stored in your sub conscious mind. We are told by experts in this field that more than 75% of what enters a person’s sub conscious mind is negative.

Here is an example of one way you may be experiencing self sabotage. Although you may be working hard you may be feeling like you are not getting ahead. You look at your business friends and they have a good job, a nice car, a lovely house and they are financially independent. Your mind starts to compare it to how you are doing, and based on what beliefs are stored in your sub conscious mind you will come up with the belief that substantiates that you are not good enough and that you are not cut out to climb the corporate ladder.

However what is taking place is that your outer world (you are not getting ahead) and your inner world (your belief that you are not good enough) were aligning themselves with each other and creating balance. They were in agreement. This is why the real battle has to be fought on the inside, on the inner plane to change the belief systems that are not serving you.

The good news is that you have the power and the ability to change your beliefs and change your life around.

What does success mean to you? Part 2

November 1, 2007 by Brenda Blindenbach  
Filed under Raising Consciousness


So how does one become successful? The first step to becoming successful is making a quality decision that you already are a success. Regardless of what your circumstances are saying to you at the present moment, when you think and feel like a success you will continue to attract good things to come your way.

The fact of the matter though is that when your husband has left you, the rent money is due, you’ve lost your job, or your business is not doing well your emotions are going to tell you a different story. You take your clues from your five physical senses, the stories that you tell yourself and the assumptions that you have made. Assumptions are not facts.

It’s  precisely at this time that you need to feel good about yourself. But how do you rise above the deluge of thoughts and emotions that drag you under? It’s by changing the way you think. If you change the way you think you will change the way you feel. Instead of those thoughts making you feel like a failure, not good enough, wanting to give up, realise that you can embrace every set back and challenge as an opportunity for your growth. Then reach for thoughts that make you feel good, and from that “feeling good place” you will be able to take a different action.

Now I know that this isn’t as easy as it seems especially as your circumstances are telling you a different story. We have been so conditioned to believe what our five senses tell us. So what is the solution?

I know I’m repeating myself, but it bears repeating -the key to your success is changing your thinking. What you think and the kind of thoughts that fill your mind on a regular basis affects your feelings, which influences your actions and attracts those circumstances into your life.

Your mind has two parts to it. The conscious and the subconscious mind.

Your conscious mind is the part of you that thinks and reasons. You have the free will to choose your thoughts. Your conscious mind  does not see the world as it really is, because you only see what your internal environment is conditioned to see. Your conscious mind  looks for patterns and images that are familiar and rejects those that aren’t. Your thinking therefore is influenced entirely by the content of your sub-conscious mind. Who you are as a person is a reflection of the content of your sub-conscious mind.

Everything that you have ever seen, smelt, heard, tasted or felt has been recorded into your sub conscious mind, and your sub-conscious mind notices all the details that the conscious mind can’t take in. It has the ability of a genius. Your incredible and amazing subconscious mind can recognize, file, store and retain 100 million pieces of information per second.

Imagine that ! What an extrordinary, awesome, amazing and brilliant piece of equipment you have within you.


What does success mean to you?

September 20, 2007 by Brenda Blindenbach

Although success is your birthright, it is not given to you automatically. You have to "BE" it. All of us want success. But what is success?

The meaning of success to you would probably be different than what it would mean to me. If fifty people were asked this question, you would get fifty different answers. It may mean financial success, a loving relationship with their family and partner, having a beautiful home, having good health, taking a wonderful holiday whenever they wanted. Every one has a different idea of what success means to them.

For me success is feeling good about myself, communicating on a heart level with my family and friends where they feel safe to be themselves without fear of judgement or rejection from me, to be financially independent, and to have good health.

When you stop to think about it……it’s not having the new car, a big house, or even the perfect relationship that we are looking for. It’s the feeling thta these things give us - excitement, security, peace of mind, a feeling that we are honoured, trusted, loved and cherished for who we are.

The opposite of succes could be staying in a job that you hate, having no purpose in life, having relationships that don’t work, or just getting by.

Here are the statistics:

                   Over 80% of people spend their lives doing things thye don’t want to do.

                                       "People are anxious to improve their circumstance,

                                            but they are unwilling to improve themselves.

                                                         They therefore remain bound….."

                                                  James Allen, (from "As a Man Thinketh")

So how can you create success in your life? This is what all of the books written over the last 100 years have said without exception about creating success:

  •      The key to your success is in programming your subconscious mind.
  •      You must take charge of your thinking.
  •      You must have a clear picture of what you want  - then you can have it.
  •      Consider that you have it now, not in the future.
  •      Express gratitude (thanks) for it now, and for all that you already have.
  •      Forgive yourself and others.
  •      Take the appropriate actions
  •      Detach from the outcome.

When you understand how your mind and the laws of the universe work, release the hindering beliefs and emotions, reprogram your subconcious mind with new beliefs, and take the correct actions you will be able to creat what you want with ease.

A 2 day Workshop that will give you the tools to identify the beliefs that are hindering you from getting ahead, so that you can manifest what you really desire, will be held on:
