It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time to write a post about gratitude!

Okay – now for today’s post:
Today I am most grateful for the power of visualization.
Seeing it in action in someone else’s life inspires me and gives me the spiritual kick in the pants that I need to get focused and create it in my own life.
I was watching a tv show last night called, “The Lottery Changed My Life.”
It features people who have won the lottery and talks about all of the ways in which their lives have changed since winning. Usually the winners just talk about how they were lucky and just happened to get the winning ticket.
But last night’s winner was different, and I literally got chills when I heard her story.
Before winning, she was desperately trying to make ends meet financially. Her brother had been killed in a tragic accident and left behind his four children. She had been trying to adopt them all, but two of them were still in foster care. She said that her mom believed in the power of visualization and had passed that along to her.
So one night she wrote $112,000,000 on a piece of paper and put it underneath her pillow. She meditated while feeling how truly wonderful it would be to have this money. She knew with it she would be able to adopt her two nephews and would no longer worry about money. She acted as though she already had the money and thought about how she would spend it and what she would do with it.
And three weeks later she won the lottery for $112,000,000.
Amazing.
Chills.
Wonderful.
And while it is all of these things, it also makes perfect sense.
We attract into our lives what we think about and what we believe we deserve.
When we align our thoughts and our emotions – the sky is the limit.
This story is a great motivator for all of us to think about the life that we want to live and then truly take the time to feel it.
Because by doing so, it will become your reality.
And knowing that we each have the power to create our best lives
is definitely something to be grateful for!
Lovely post, I truly believe that we play a role in attracting what comes into our lives 🙂 I also keep a gratitude journal and find in immensely helpful!
BTW, I really enjoyed looking at your blog – I happen to know quite a bit about enneagrams and also *loved* that performance by Jacob Lusk 🙂
all the best,
Abby

That is just CRAZY. The story about that lady winning the lotto because of visualization, insane. I'm not saying I don't believe it, I just think it's so out-of-this-world! My brain can't fully comprehend it!
When we align our thoughts and our emotions –
the sky is the limit.
It is so true .. amazing the blocks we make for us selves.. only when we really begin to focus and believe can we begin to achieve.. thanks
Thanks for all of your wonderful posts, everyone! 🙂
