Do You Believe inMagic?



“Those who don’t believe in magic willnever find it.”



Roald Dahl (1916–1990)WRITER

Remember when you were a child and youlooked at life in total wonder and awe? Lifewas magical and exciting, and the smallestthings were utterly thrilling to you. You werefascinated by the frost on the grass, a butter-fly flittering through the air, or any strangeleaf or rock on the ground.

You were full of excitement when you lost atooth, because it meant the Tooth Fairywould be coming that night, and you wouldcount down the days to that magical night ofChristmas! Even though you had no ideahow Santa Claus could get to every child inthe world in one night, somehow he did it,and he never let you down.



Reindeer could fly, there were fairies in thegarden, pets were like people, toys had per-sonalities, dreams came true, and you couldtouch the stars. Your heart was full of joy,your imagination knew no limits, and youbelieved that life was magical!

There is an exquisite feeling many of us hadas children, that everything is good, thatevery day promises more excitement and ad-venture, and that nothing could ever thwartour joy for the magic of it all. But somehowas we grew into adults, responsibilities,problems, and difficulties took their toll onus, we became disillusioned, and the magicwe once believed in as children faded anddisappeared. It’s one of the reasons why asadults we love to be around children, so that



we can experience that feeling we once had,even if it’s just for a moment.

I am here to tell you that the magic you oncebelieved in is true, and it’s the disillusionedadult perspective of life that is false. The ma-gic of life is real – and it’s as real as you are.In fact, life can be far more wondrous thanyou ever thought it was as a child, and morebreathtaking, awe-inspiring, and excitingthan anything you’ve seen before. When youknow what to do to bring forth the magic,you will live the life of your dreams. Then,you will wonder how you ever could havegiven up in believing in the magic of life!

You may not see reindeer fly, but you will seethe things you’ve always wanted appearingbefore your eyes, and you will see the thingsyou’ve dreamed of for so long suddenly



happening. You will never know exactly howeverything weaved together for your dreamsto come true, because magic works in the in-visible realm – and that’s the most thrillingpart!

Are you ready to experience the magic again?Are you ready to be filled with awe and won-der every day like when you were a child?Get ready for the magic!

Our adventure begins two thousand yearsago, when life-changing knowledge was hid-den within a sacred text . . .



A Great Mystery IsRevealed



The following passage comes from theGospel of Matthew in the Holy Scriptures,and it has mystified, confused, and been



misunderstood by many people over thecenturies.

“Whoever has will be given more, and hewill have an abundance. Whoever does nothave, even what he has will be taken fromhim.”

You have to admit that when you read thepassage it appears unjust, as it seems to besaying that the rich will get richer and thepoor will get poorer. But there’s a riddle tobe solved in this passage, a mystery to un-cover, and when you know it a new worldwill have opened up for you.

The answer to the mystery that has eluded somany for centuries is in one hidden word:gratitude.



“Whoever has gratitude will be givenmore, and he or she will have an abund-ance. Whoever does not have gratitude,even what he or she has will be taken fromhim or her.”

By the revelation of one hidden word, acryptic text is made crystal clear. Two thou-sand years have passed since those wordswere recorded, but they are as true today asthey ever were: if you don’t take the time tobe grateful you will never have more, andwhat you do have you will lose. And thepromise of the magic that will happen withgratitude is in these words: if you’re gratefulyou will be given more, and you will havean abundance!

From the Koran the promise of gratitude isequally emphatic:



“And (remember) when God proclaimed: ‘Ifyou are grateful I will give you more; but ifyou are ungrateful verily my punishment isindeed severe.’”

It doesn’t matter what religion you follow, orwhether you’re religious or not, these wordsfrom the Holy Scriptures and the Koran ap-ply to you and your life. They are describinga fundamental law of science and of theUniverse.



It’s Universal Law

Gratitude operates through a Universal lawthat governs your whole life. According tothe law of attraction, which governs all theenergy in our Universe, from the formationof an atom to the movement of the planets,“like attracts like.” It’s because of the law ofattraction that the cells of every livingcreature are held together, as well as the sub-stance of every material object. In your life,the law operates on your thoughts and feel-ings, because they are energy too, and sowhatever you think, whatever you feel, youattract to you.

If you think, “I don’t like my job,” “I haven’tgot enough money,” “I can’t find my perfectpartner,” “I can’t pay my bills,” “I think I’m



coming down with something,” “He or shedoesn’t appreciate me,” “I don’t get alongwith my parents,” “My child is a problem,”“My life is a mess,” or “My marriage is introuble,” then you must attract more of thoseexperiences.

But if you think about what you’re gratefulfor, like, “I love my job,” “My family is verysupportive,” “I had the best vacation,” “I feelamazing today,” “I got the biggest tax refundever,” or ”I had a great weekend campingwith my son,” and you sincerely feel the grat-itude, the law of attraction says you must at-tract more of those things into your life. Itworks in the same way as metal being drawnto a magnet; your gratitude is magnetic, andthe more gratitude you have, the more



abundance you magnetize. It is Universallaw!

You will have heard sayings like, “Whatevergoes around comes around,” “You reap whatyou sow,” and “You get what you give.” Well,all of those sayings are describing the samelaw, and they’re also describing a principle ofthe Universe that the great scientist Sir IsaacNewton discovered.

Newton’s scientific discoveries included thefundamental laws of motion in the Universe,one of which says:

Every action always has an opposite andequal reaction.

When you apply the idea of gratitude toNewton’s law it says: every action of giving



thanks always causes an opposite reaction ofreceiving. And what you receive will alwaysbe equal to the amount of gratitude you’vegiven. This means that the very action ofgratitude sets off a reaction of receiving! Andthe more sincerely and the more deeplygrateful you feel (in other words, the moregratitude you give) the more you will receive.



The Golden Thread ofGratitude

Dating back thousands and thousands ofyears to the earliest recordings of human-kind, the power of gratitude was preachedand practiced, and from there was passed onthrough the centuries, sweeping across thecontinents, permeating one civilization andculture to the next. The major religions ofChristianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism,Sikhism, and Hinduism all have gratitude attheir core.

Muhammad said that gratitude for theabundance you’ve received is the best insur-ance that the abundance will continue.



Buddha said that you have no cause for any-thing but gratitude and joy.

Lao Tzu said that if you rejoice in the waythings are, the whole world will belong toyou.

Krishna said that whatever he is offered heaccepts with joy.

King David spoke of giving thanks to thewhole world, for everything between theheavens and the Earth.

And Jesus said thank you before he per-formed each miracle.

From the Australian Aborigines to the Afric-an Maasai and Zulu, from the AmericanNavajo, Shawnee, and Cherokee, to the Tahi-tians, Eskimo, and Maori, the practice of



gratitude is at the very root of most indigen-ous traditions.

“When you arise in the morning, givethanks for the morning light, for yourlife and strength. Give thanks for yourfood and the joy of living. If you see noreason for giving thanks, the fault lieswith yourself.”

Tecumseh (1768–1813)SHAWNEE NATIVE AMERICAN LEADER

History is laden with famous figures whopracticed gratitude, and whose achievementsput them amongst the greatest human be-ings who have ever lived: Gandhi, MotherTeresa, Martin Luther King Jr., the DalaiLama, Leonardo Da Vinci, Plato,Shakespeare, Aesop, Blake, Emerson,



Dickens, Proust, Descartes, Lincoln, Jung,Newton, Einstein, and many, many more.

Albert Einstein’s scientific discoverieschanged the way we see the Universe, andwhen asked about his monumental achieve-ments, he spoke only of giving thanks to oth-ers. One of the most brilliant minds of alltime thanked other people over a hundredtimes a day for the work they had done!

Is it any wonder that so many of life’s mys-teries were revealed to Albert Einstein? Is itany wonder that Albert Einstein made someof the greatest scientific discoveries in his-tory? He practiced gratitude every single dayof his life, and in return he received manyforms of abundance.



When Isaac Newton was asked how he hadachieved the scientific discoveries he made,he said that he stood on the shoulders of gi-ants. Isaac Newton, recently voted thegreatest contributor to science and human-kind, was also grateful to those men and wo-men who lived before him.

The scientists, philosophers, inventors, dis-coverers, and prophets who practiced gratit-ude reaped its results, and most were awareof its inherent power. Yet still gratitude’spower is unknown to most people today, be-cause to experience the magic of gratitude inyour life you have to practice it!



My Discovery

My story is a perfect example of what life islike when a person is ignorant of gratitude,and what happens when you make gratitudea part of your life.

If I had been asked six years ago if I was agrateful person, I would have answered,“Yes, for sure I’m a grateful person. I saythank you when I receive a gift, whensomeone opens a door for me, or when a per-son does something for me.”

The truth is I was not a grateful person at all.I didn’t know what being grateful reallymeant, and just saying the words thank youon the odd occasion certainly didn’t make mea grateful person.



My life without gratitude was pretty challen-ging. I was in debt, and it was increasing alittle bit more every month. I worked reallyhard, but my finances never improved. Intrying to keep up with the mounting debtand obligations I was living with a continu-ous undercurrent of stress. My relationshipsswung like a pendulum from fair to dis-astrous, because I never seemed to haveenough time for each person.

While I was what would be termed “healthy,”I felt exhausted at the end of each day, and Ialways got my fair share of colds and thelatest illnesses going around each season. Ihad moments of happiness when I went outwith friends, or when I went on vacation, butthen the reality of having to work harder to



pay for those pleasures would sweep overme.

I wasn’t living. I was surviving – from day today and from paycheck to paycheck, and Iwould no sooner solve one life problem thanmore problems would appear.

But then something happened that wouldchange everything in my life from that dayforward. I discovered a secret about life, andas a result of my discovery one of the things Ibegan to do was practice gratitude each day.As a result of this, everything in my lifechanged, and the more I practiced gratitude,the more miraculous were the results. My lifetruly became magical.

For the first time in my life I became debtfree, and shortly after that I had all the



money I needed to do whatever I wanted.Problems in my relationships, work, andhealth disappeared, and instead of facingdaily obstacles, my days became filled withone good thing after another. My health andenergy increased dramatically, and I felt bet-ter than I had in my twenties. My relation-ships became much more meaningful, and Ienjoyed more good times with my family andfriends in just a few months than I had in allthe previous years.

More than anything else, I felt happier than Ithought it was possible to feel. I was bliss-fully happy – the happiest I had ever been.Gratitude changed me, and my whole lifemagically changed.



Bring The Magic intoYour Life



No matter who you are, no matter whereyou are, no matter what your current circum-stances, the magic of gratitude will changeyour entire life!



I have received letters from thousands ofpeople in the worst imaginable situationswho have changed their lives completely bypracticing gratitude. I have seen miraclestake place in health where there seemed tobe no hope. I have seen marriages saved, andbroken relationships transform into magnifi-cent relationships. I have seen those in totalpoverty become prosperous, and I have seenpeople in depression catapult into joyful andfulfilling lives.

Gratitude can magically turn your relation-ships into joyful and meaningful relation-ships, no matter what state they are in now.Gratitude can miraculously make you moreprosperous so that you have the money youneed to do the things you want to do. It willincrease your health and bring a level of



happiness beyond what you’ve ever felt be-fore. Gratitude will work its magic to acceler-ate your career, increase success, and bringabout your dream job or whatever it is youwant to do. In fact, whatever it is that youwant to be, do, or have, gratitude is the wayto receive it. The magical power of gratitudeturns your life into gold!

As you practice gratitude, you will under-stand why particular things in your life mayhave gone wrong, and why certain thingsmight be missing from your life. As youmake gratitude a way of life, you will wakeup each morning so excited to be alive. Youwill find yourself completely in love with life.Everything will seem effortless. You will feelas light as a feather and happier than you’veever felt before. While challenges may come,



you will know how to overcome them andlearn from them. Every day will be magical;every day will be filled with far more magicthan when you were a child.



Is Your Life Magical?

You can tell right now how much you haveactually used gratitude in your life. Just takea look at all of the major areas in your life:money, health, happiness, career, home, andrelationships. The areas of your life that areabundant and wonderful are where you haveused gratitude and are experiencing the ma-gic as a result. Any areas that are not abund-ant and wonderful are due to a lack ofgratitude.

It’s a simple fact: when you’re not gratefulyou cannot receive more in return. You’vestopped the magic from continuing in yourlife. When you’re not grateful you stop theflow of better health, better relationships,more joy, more money, and the advancement



of your job, career, or business. To receiveyou have to give. It’s the law. Gratitude isgiving thanks, and without it you cut your-self off from the magic and from receivingeverything you want in life.

The bottom line of ungratefulness is thatwhen we’re not grateful, we’re taking; we’retaking things in our life for granted. Whenwe take things for granted we are uninten-tionally taking from ourselves. The law of at-traction says that like attracts like, so if wetake something for granted, we will be takenfrom as a result. Remember, “whoever doesnot have gratitude, even what he or she haswill be taken from him or her.”

Most certainly you have been grateful at vari-ous times in your life, but to see the magicand cause a radical change to your current



circumstances, you have to practice gratitudeand make it your new way of life.



The Magic Formula

“Knowledge is a treasure, but practiceis the key to it.”

Ibn Khaldoun Al Muqaddima (1332–1406)SCHOLAR AND STATESMAN

Ancient myths and legends say that to bringforth magic a person must first say “the ma-gic words.” Bringing forth magic from gratit-ude works in the same way, and first youmust say the magic words: thank you. I can-not begin to tell you how important thewords thank you are for your life. To live ingratitude, to experience the magic in yourlife, thank you must become the two wordsyou deliberately say and feel more than anyother words. They need to become your



identity. Thank you is the bridge from whereyou are now, to the life of your dreams.

The Magic Formula:

1. Deliberately think and say the magicwords, thank you.

2. The more you deliberately think andsay the magic words, thank you, themore gratitude you feel.

3. The more gratitude you deliberatelythink and feel, the more abundanceyou receive.

Gratitude is a feeling. So the ultimate aim inpracticing gratitude is to deliberately feel itas much as you can, because it’s the force ofyour feeling that accelerates the magic inyour life. Newton’s law is one for one – what



you give you receive, equally. That meansthat if you increase your feeling of gratitude,the results in your life will expand to beequal to your feeling! The truer the feeling,the more sincerely grateful you are, thefaster your life will change.

When you discover how little practice ittakes, how easy it is to incorporate gratitudeinto your daily life, and when you see themagical results for yourself, you will neverwant to return to the life you used to live.

If you practice gratitude a little, your life willchange a little. If you practice gratitude a lotevery day, your life will change dramaticallyand in ways that you can hardly imagine.



A Magical Book



“As we express our gratitude, we mustnever forget that the highest appreci-ation is not to utter words, but to liveby them.”



John F. Kennedy (1917–1963)35TH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

In this book, there are 28 magical prac-tices that have been specifically designed sothat you learn how to use gratitude’s magicalpower to revolutionize your health, money,job, and relationships, and to make yoursmallest desires and your biggest dreamscome true. You will also learn how to prac-tice gratitude to dissolve problems andtransform any negative situation.

You will be captivated while you read thislife-changing knowledge, but without practi-cing what you learn, the knowledge will slipthrough your fingers, and the opportunitythat you attracted to easily change your lifewill be gone. To ensure this doesn’t happento you, you need to practice gratitude over 28



days, so that you impregnate your cells andyour subconscious mind with it. Only thenwill it change your life – permanently.

The practices are designed to be completedover 28 consecutive days. This allows you tomake gratitude a habit and a new way of life.Practicing gratitude in a concentrated effortover consecutive days guarantees that youwill see the magic take place in your life –and fast!

Within each magical practice is a wealth ofsecret teachings that will expand your know-ledge in tremendous ways. In each practiceyou will understand more and more abouthow life works, and how easy it is to have thelife you’ve dreamed of.



The first twelve practices use the magicalpower of gratitude for what you have nowand for what you’ve received in the past, be-cause unless you’re grateful for what youhave, and what you’ve received, the magicwon’t work and you won’t receive more.These first twelve practices will set the magicof gratitude into motion immediately.

The next ten practices use the magical powerof gratitude for your desires, dreams, andeverything you want. Through these tenpractices you will be able to make yourdreams come true, and you will see the cir-cumstances of your life magically change!

The last six practices take you to a whole newlevel, where you will be saturating gratitudeinto every cell of your body and mind. Youwill learn how to use gratitude’s magical



power to help other people, dissolve prob-lems, and improve any negative situation orcircumstance you may encounter throughoutyour life.

You don’t need to clear your calendar, be-cause each of the practices has been specific-ally created to fit into your everyday life,whether it’s workdays, weekends, holidays,or vacations. Gratitude is portable – you takeit with you wherever you go, and thenwherever you go, the magic happens!

If you miss a day, you will most likely losethe momentum of what you have done. Toensure that you don’t reduce the magic, ifyou miss a day, count back three days andrepeat the practices again from there.



Some practices are designed for the morn-ing, and others are designed to dothroughout the day, so read each day’s prac-tice first thing in the morning. Some prac-tices will need to be read the night before be-cause they begin when you wake, and I willtell you when to do this. You might want toread the next day’s practice every night be-fore you go to sleep, in order to be prepared.If you do, make sure to reread the practiceagain in the morning.

If you don’t want to follow the 28 magicalpractices consecutively, you can also usethem in other ways. You could choose onemagical practice that addresses an importantsubject in your life that you want to changeor improve, and you could do that practicethree days in a row or every day for a week.



Or you could do one magical practice a week,or two practices a week, the only differencebeing that it will take you longer to see thechanges in your life.



After the 28 Days

Once you’ve completed the 28 magical prac-tices, you can use particular practices to in-crease the magic where or when you have aspecific need, such as for health or money, orif you want to receive your dream job, haveincreased success in your work, or improve arelationship. Or to continue the practice ofgratitude you can open this book at random,and whichever practice you open to is theone you attracted, so it’s the perfect one todo that day.

At the end of the 28 magical practices, thereare also recommendations of practices youcan use in combination, which will acceleratethe magic in specific areas of your life.



Can you overdo gratitude? Never! Can yourlife become too magical? Hardly! Use thepractices over and over, so that gratitudeseeps into your consciousness and becomessecond nature to you. After 28 days you willhave rewired your brain, and implanted grat-itude in your subconscious mind, where it isautomatically the first thing that comes toyour mind in any situation. The magic youexperience will be your inspiration, becauseas you incorporate gratitude into your days,they will be nothing short of spectacular!



What Are Your Dreams?

Many of the magical practices are designedto help you achieve your dreams. Therefore,you need to get clear about what you reallywant.

Sit down with a computer or pen and paperand make a list of what you really want inevery area of your life. Think through everydetail of what you want to be, do, or have inyour life – in your relationships, career, fin-ances, health, and every area that is import-ant to you. You can be as specific and de-tailed as you like, but remember your job issimply to list what you want, not how you’regoing to get what you want. The “how” willbe done for you when gratitude works itsmagic.



If you want a better job, or your dream job,then think about everything you want the jobto be. Think about the things that are im-portant to you, such as the type of work youwant to do, how you want to feel in your job,the type of company you want to work for,the kind of people you want to work with, thehours you want to work, where you wantyour job to be, and the salary you want to re-ceive. Get very clear about what you want inthe job by thinking it through thoroughlyand writing all the details down.

If you want money to educate your children,work out the details of their education, in-cluding which school you want your childrento attend, the cost of the school fees, books,food, clothing, and transportation, so that



you know exactly how much money you willneed.

If you want to travel, then write down the de-tails of the countries you want to visit, howlong you want to travel for, what you want tosee and do, where you want to stay, and themeans by which you want to travel.

If you want a perfect partner, then writedown every detail of the characteristics youwant that person to have. If you want im-proved relationships, write down the rela-tionships you want to improve, and what youwant them to be like.

If you want more health, or an improvedbodily condition, be specific about what waysyou want to improve your health or body. Ifyou want a dream home, then list every



detail of what you want the home to be, roomby room. If there are specific material thingsyou want, like a car, clothes, or appliances,write them down.

If you want to achieve something, such aspassing an exam, getting a degree, a goal insports, succeeding as a musician, doctor,writer, actor, scientist, or businessperson, orwhatever it is you would like to achieve,write it down and be as specific as possible.

I would strongly urge you to find the time tomaintain a list of your dreams throughoutyour life. Write down the little things, the bigthings, or what you want this moment, thismonth, or this year. As you think of morethings add them to the list, and as you re-ceive things, cross them off the list. An easy



way to do a list of what you want is to divideit into categories of:

Health and body

Career and work

Money

Relationships

Personal desires

Material things

And then just add the things you want toeach category.

When you get clear about the things youwant, you are giving a definite direction tothe way you want gratitude’s magical power



to change your life, and you are ready to be-gin the most exciting and thrilling adventureyou’ve ever been on!



Day 1

Count Your Blessings



“When I started counting my blessings,my whole life turned around.”



Willie Nelson (B. 1933)SINGER-SONGWRITER

You will have heard people say to countyour blessings, and when you think about thethings you’re grateful for, that’s exactly whatyou’re doing. But what you may not haverealized is that counting your blessings is oneof the most powerful practices you can everdo, and it will magically turn your whole lifearound!

When you’re grateful for the things you have,no matter how small they may be, you willsee those things instantly increase. If you’regrateful for the money you have, howeverlittle, you will see your money magicallygrow. If you’re grateful for a relationship,even if it’s not perfect, you will see it miracu-lously get even better. If you’re grateful for



the job that you have, even if it’s not yourdream job, things will begin to change sothat you enjoy your job more, and all kindsof opportunities for your work will suddenlyappear.

The flipside is that when we’re not countingour blessings, we can fall into the trap of un-intentionally counting negative things. Wecount negative things when we talk about thethings we don’t have. We count negativethings when we criticize or find fault withother people, when we complain abouttraffic, waiting in lines, delays, the govern-ment, not enough money, or the weather.When we count negative things they increasetoo, but on top of that, with every negativething we count, we cancel out blessings thatwere on their way. I have tried both –



counting my blessings and counting negativethings – and I can assure you that countingyour blessings is the only way to have abund-ance in your life.

“Better to lose count while naming yourblessings than to lose your blessings tocounting your troubles.”

Maltbie D. Babcock (1858–1901)WRITER AND CLERGYMAN

First thing in the morning, or as early in theday as you can, Count Your Blessings. Youcan write out your list by hand, type it on acomputer, or use a special book or journaland keep all of your gratitude in one place.Today, you are going to make a simple list often blessings in your life you are grateful for.



When Einstein gave thanks, he thoughtabout why he was grateful. When you thinkabout the reason why you’re grateful for aparticular thing, person, or situation, youwill feel gratitude more deeply. Rememberthat the magic of gratitude happens accord-ing to the degree of your feeling! So witheach item on your list write the reason whyyou’re grateful for it.

Here are some ideas for writing your list:

• I am truly blessed to havewhat? ,

because why? .

• I am so happy and grateful forwhat? ,

because why? .



• I am truly grateful forwhat? ,

because why? .

• With all my heart, thank you forwhat? ,

because why? .

After you’ve finished making your list of tenblessings, go back and read each one, eitherin your mind or out loud. When you get tothe end of each blessing, say the magic wordsthree times, thank you, thank you, thankyou, and feel the gratitude for that blessingas much as you possibly can.

To help you feel more gratitude, you can begrateful to the Universe, God, Spirit, good-ness, life, your greater self, or any otherconcept you are drawn to. When you direct



gratitude toward something or someone, youwill feel it even more, and your gratitude willhave even more power, and create even moremagic! It’s the reason why indigenous andancient cultures chose symbols like the sunto direct their gratitude toward. They weresimply using physical symbols to representthe universal source of all goodness, and infocusing on that symbol they felt moregratitude.

The practice of counting your blessings is sosimple and so powerful in altering your life,that I want you to continue to add ten moreblessings to your list every day for the next27 days. You might think it could be difficultto find ten things you’re grateful for everyday, but the more you think about it, themore you will realize how much you have to



be grateful for. Look closely at your life; youhave received, and are continuing to receiveso much each and every day. There is reallyso much to give thanks for!

You could be grateful for your home, yourfamily, your friends, your work, and yourpets. You could be thankful for the sun, thewater that you drink, the food that you eat,and the air that you breathe; without any ofthem you wouldn’t be alive. You could begrateful for the trees, the animals, theoceans, the birds, the flowers, the plants,blue skies, rain, the stars, the moon, and ourbeautiful planet Earth.

You could be grateful for your senses: youreyes that see, your ears that hear, yourmouth that tastes, your nose that smells, andyour skin that enables you to feel. You could



be grateful for the legs you walk on, yourhands that you use to do almost everything,your voice that enables you to express your-self and communicate with others. You couldgive thanks for your amazing immune sys-tem that keeps you well, and all of your or-gans that maintain your body so that you canlive. And what about the magnificence ofyour human mind, which no computer tech-nology in the world can duplicate?

Here is a list of subjects that will remind youof the major areas you can look for blessingsto be grateful for. You can also add any sub-ject you want depending on what is import-ant to you at any time.

Magic Gratitude Subjects:

• Health and body



• Work and success

• Money

• Relationships

• Passions

• Happiness

• Love

• Life

• Nature: planet Earth, air, water,and the sun

• Material goods and services

• Any subject of your choosing



You should feel significantly better and hap-pier after each time you Count Your Bless-ings, and how good you feel is your measureof how much gratitude you felt. The moregratitude you felt, the happier you will feel,and the faster your life will change. Somedays you will feel happy really quickly, andother days it may take a little longer. But asyou continue to Count Your Blessings everyday, you will notice a bigger and bigger dif-ference in the way you feel each time, andyou will see your blessings magicallymultiply!

Day 2

The Magic Rock



“Reflect upon your present blessings ofwhich every man has plenty; not onyour past misfortunes of which all menhave some.”



Charles Dickens (1812–1870)WRITER

In the beginning of working with thesepractices, it takes concentrated days in a rowto make gratitude a habit. Anything that re-minds you to be grateful is helping you turnyour life into gold with gratitude, and that’sexactly what this magical practice is about.

Lee Brower presented the gratitude rockpractice in The Secret film and book, whenhe told us the story of the father of a dyingchild who used a gratitude rock to be gratefulfor his son’s health, and his son made a mi-raculous recovery. Since then the gratituderock has been a proven success with manypeople the world over, who have used it formoney, healing, and happiness.



First, find a rock or a stone. Choose a smallsize that fits in the palm of your hand andthat you can close your fingers around.Choose a rock that is smooth, without sharpedges, not too weighty, and that feels reallygood in your hand when you hold it.

You can find a Magic Rock from your gardenif you have one, or from a riverbed, creek,ocean, or park. If you don’t have easy accessto any of these places, then ask your neigh-bors, family, or friends. You may even have aprecious rock or stone already that you canuse as your Magic Rock.

When you have found your Magic Rock, putit by your bedside, in a place where you willdefinitely see it when you go to bed. Clearsome space if necessary so that you can eas-ily see your Magic Rock when you go to bed.



If you use an alarm clock, put it next to youralarm clock.

Tonight, just before you get into bed to go tosleep, pick up your Magic Rock, hold it in thepalm of one hand, and close your fingersaround it.

Think back carefully through all the goodthings that happened during the day, andfind the best thing that happened that you’regrateful for. Then say the magic words,thank you, for the best thing that happened.Return the Magic Rock to its place by yourbed. And that’s it!

Every night for the next 26 days, follow thesame Magic Rock practice. Before you go tosleep, think back through the day, and findthe best thing that happened that day. While



holding your Magic Rock in your hand, be asgrateful as you can be for that thing, and saythank you.

Using a rock seems like such a simple thingto do, but through this practice you will seemagical things begin to happen in your life.

When you look for the best thing thathappened during the day, you will searchthrough many good things that happened,and in the process of searching and then de-ciding on the best one you are actually think-ing of many things you’re grateful for. Youwill also be ensuring that you go to sleep andwake up in gratitude each day.

The Count Your Blessings and Magic Rockpractices will ensure that you begin and endyour days in a state of gratitude. In fact, they



are so powerful that together they wouldchange your life in a few months. But thisbook is designed to change your life reallyfast through an abundance of magical prac-tices. Because gratitude is magnetic and at-tracts more things to be grateful for, the con-centration of gratitude over 28 days will in-tensify the magnetic force of your gratitude.When you have a strong magnetic force ofgratitude, like magic, you automatically mag-netize everything you want and need to you!

Day 3

Magical Relationships



Imagine if you were the only person onEarth; you would have no desire to do any-thing. What would be the point in creating apainting if no one could see it? What would



be the point in composing music if no onecould hear it? What would be the point in in-venting anything if there was no one to useit? There would be no reason to move fromone place to another because wherever youwent would be the same as where you were –no one would be there. There would be nopleasure or joy in your life.

It’s your contact and experiences with otherpeople that give your life joy, meaning, andpurpose. Because of that, your relationshipsaffect your life more than anything else. Toreceive the life of your dreams, it’s vital thatyou understand how your relationships af-fect your life now, and how they are the mostpowerful channels for gratitude to start ma-gically changing your life.



Science is now confirming the wisdom of thegreat sages of the past, with research studiesshowing that people who practice gratitudehave closer relationships, are more connec-ted to family and friends, and have otherpeople look upon them favorably. But prob-ably the most astounding statistic that hascome out of research studies is that for everyone complaint about another person, wheth-er in thought or word, there have to be tenblessings for the relationship to flourish. Anyless than ten blessings for every one com-plaint and the relationship will deteriorate,and, if the relationship is a marriage, it willmost likely end in divorce.

Gratitude makes relationships flourish. Asyou increase your gratitude for any relation-ship, you will magically receive an



abundance of happiness and good things inthat relationship. And gratitude for your re-lationships doesn’t change only your rela-tionships; it also changes you. No matterwhat your temperament is now, gratitudewill give you more patience, understanding,compassion, and kindness, to the pointwhere you won’t even recognize yourself. Thelittle irritations you once felt and the com-plaints you had in your relationships will dis-appear, because when you’re truly gratefulfor another person, there’s nothing you wantto change about that person. You won’t criti-cize, complain about, or blame them, be-cause you’re too busy being grateful for thegood things about them. In fact, you won’teven be able to see the things you used tocomplain about.



“We can only be said to be alive in thosemoments when our hearts are con-scious of our treasures.”

Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)WRITER AND PLAYWRIGHT

Words are very powerful, so when you com-plain about any person you actually harmyour life. It is your life that will suffer. By thelaw of attraction whatever you think or sayabout another person, you bring to you. Thisis the very reason why the greatest mindsand teachers of the world have told us to begrateful. They knew that for you to receivemore in your life, for your life to magicallyincrease, you have to be grateful for othersjust as they are. What if every person close toyou said, “I love you – just the way you are,”how would you feel?



Today’s magical practice is being grateful forpeople just as they are! Even if all of your re-lationships are currently good, they will in-crease with more magnificence through thispractice. And with everything you find to begrateful for in each person, you will see grat-itude perform its breathtaking magic, andyour relationships will be stronger, more ful-filling, and more enriching than you everthought they could be.

Choose three of your closest relationships tobe grateful for. You might choose your wife,your son, and your father, or your boyfriend,your business partner, and your sister. Youmight choose your best friend, your grand-mother, and your uncle. You can choose anythree relationships that are important to you,as long as you have a photograph of each



person. The photograph can be just of theperson, or the both of you together.

Once you have selected your three relation-ships and photographs, you are ready to setthe magic into motion. Sit down and thinkabout the things you are the most grateful forabout each person. What are the things youlove the most about this person? What aretheir best qualities? You could be grateful fortheir patience, ability to listen, talents,strength, good judgment, wisdom, laugh,sense of humor, eyes, smile, or kind heart.You could be grateful for the things you en-joy doing with the person, or you can recall atime when the person was there for you,cared for, or supported you.

After you’ve spent some time thinking aboutwhat you’re grateful for about the person,



put their photograph in front of you, andwith a pen and notebook, or on your com-puter, choose the five things you are themost grateful for. Look at the photograph ofthe person as you make your list of fivethings, begin each sentence with the magicwords, thank you, address the person bytheir name, and then write what you’regrateful for.

Thank you, their name , forwhat? .

For example, “Thank you, John, for alwaysmaking me laugh.” Or, “Thank you, Mom, forsupporting me through college.”

When you’ve finished your lists for all threepeople, continue with this magical practiceby taking the photographs with you today



and putting them in a place where you willsee them often. Whenever you look at thephotographs today, thank the person by say-ing the magic words, thank you, and the per-son’s name:

Thank you, Hayley.

If you’re moving around a lot, carry the pho-tographs with you in your bag or pocket, andmake an effort to look at the photographsthree times during the day, following thesame procedure.

Now you know how to use gratitude’s magic-al power to transform your relationships intoMagical Relationships. Although it is notpart of the requirement of this book, youmay want to take this amazing practice anduse it every day if necessary to make every



relationship you have magnificent. You canuse it on the same relationship as manytimes as you want. The more you can begrateful for the good things in your relation-ships, the faster every relationship in yourlife will miraculously change.





1. Repeat steps one to three of MagicPractice Number 1 – Count YourBlessings: Make a list of ten bless-ings. Write why you’re grateful.Reread your list, and at the end ofeach blessing say thank you, thankyou, thank you, and feel as gratefulfor that blessing as you can.

6. Before you go to sleep, take your Ma-gic Rock in one hand, and say themagic words, thank you, for the bestthing that happened during the day.



Day 4

Magical Health



“The greatest wealth is health.”

Virgil (70 BC–19 BC)ROMAN POET



Health is the most precious thing in life,and yet more than anything else, we can takeour health for granted. For many of us, theonly time we think of our health is when welose it. Then the realization hits us: withoutour health, we have nothing.

There’s an Italian proverb that speaks thetruth about health for many of us: “He whoenjoys good health is rich, though he knowsit not.” While we rarely think of our healthwhen we are well, you will have felt the truthof those words even when you hadsomething minor like a cold or the flu, andyou were bedridden. When you are not well,all you want is to feel better, and nothing elsematters other than having your health backagain.



Health is a gift of life; it is something you re-ceive and continue to receive, each day. Inaddition to everything else we do to behealthy, we have to be grateful for our healthto continue to receive more health!

Remember:

“Whoever has gratitude (for health) willbe given more, and he or she will have anabundance. Whoever does not have gratit-ude (for health), even what he or she haswill be taken from him or her.”

You may know of people who chose a healthylifestyle and yet still lost their health. Givingthanks in return for the health you are re-ceiving is vital. When you are grateful foryour health, you will not only maintain yourcurrent health, at the same time you will set



the magic into motion to increase the flow ofhealth to you. You will also begin to see theimprovements to your health happen rightaway. Little aches and pains, moles, scars, ormarks will start to magically disappear, andyou will notice your energy, vitality, and hap-piness increase markedly.

As you will learn in a later practice, throughthe daily practice of gratitude for yourhealth, you can improve your eyesight, hear-ing, and all of your senses, along with everyfunction in your entire body. And all of ithappens like magic!

“Gratitude is a vaccine, an antitoxin,and an antiseptic.”

John Henry Jowett (1864–1923)PRESBYTERIAN PREACHER AND WRITER



The degree that you are grateful for yourhealth is the exact degree that your healthwill magically increase, and the degree thatyou’re not grateful is the exact degree thatyour health will decrease. Living with a de-creased amount of health means your en-ergy, vitality, immune system, clarity ofthought, and every other function of yourbody and mind is weakened.

Being grateful for your health ensures thatyou will continue to receive more health tobe grateful for, and at the same time it elim-inates stress and tension in your body andmind. Scientific research studies have shownthat stress and tension are at the root ofmany diseases. Studies have also revealedthat people who practice gratitude heal



faster, and are likely to live seven yearslonger!

You can see in the state of your health rightnow how grateful you have been. You shouldfeel amazing every day. If you feel heavy andlife feels like a real effort to get through, or ifyou don’t feel younger than your age, thenyou are living with decreased health. One ofthe major causes of this loss of vitality is alack of gratitude. All of that is about tochange, though, because you are going to usegratitude’s magical power for the health ofyour body!

The Magical Health practice begins withreading through the following paragraphsabout the health of your body. After you readeach italicized line for a particular part ofyour body, close your eyes and mentally



repeat the italicized line, feeling as gratefulas you can for that part of your body. Re-member that when you think about whyyou’re grateful, it will help you feel gratitudemore deeply, and the deeper you feel it, thefaster you will feel and see the amazing res-ults in your body.

Think about your legs and feet; they are yourmain form of transportation in your life.Think about all the things you use your legsfor, like balancing, standing up, sitting down,exercising, dancing, climbing steps, driving acar, and, most of all, the miracle of walking.Your legs and feet allow you to walk aroundyour home, walk to the bathroom, go to thekitchen to get a drink, and walk to your car.Your legs and feet allow you to walk aroundstores, down the streets, through an airport,



and along the beach. The ability to walk givesus freedom to enjoy life! Say thank you formy legs and feet, and really mean it.

Think about your arms and hands and howmany things you pick up and hold in oneday. Your hands are the major tools of yourlife, and they are in nonstop use all day long,every day. Your hands allow you to write, eata meal, use a phone or computer, shower, getdressed, use the bathroom, pick up thingsand hold them, and do everything for your-self. Without the use of your hands youwould be dependent on other people to dothings for you. Say thank you for my arms,hands, and fingers!

Think about your amazing senses. Yoursense of taste gives you so much pleasuremultiple times throughout the day as you eat



and drink. You know from losing your senseof taste through a cold that the joy of eatingand drinking disappears without being ableto taste food or drinks. Say thank you for myamazing sense of taste!

Your sense of smell enables you to experi-ence the beautiful fragrances of life: flowers,perfumes, clean sheets, dinner as it’s cook-ing, a fire burning on a winter’s night, the airon a summer’s day, freshly cut grass, thesmell of the earth after rain. Say thank youfor my wonderful sense of smell!

If you didn’t have a sense of touch, youwould never know hot from cold, soft fromsharp, or smooth from rough. You wouldnever be able to feel objects, or physically ex-press love or receive it. Your sense of touchallows you to touch your loved ones with a



reassuring hug, and to feel the touch of ahand from one human being to another isone of the most precious things in life. Saythank you for my precious sense of touch!

Think about the miracle of your eyes, whichenable you to see the faces of your loved onesand friends, read printed books, newspapers,and emails, watch television, see the beautyof nature, and, most importantly, see yourway through life. Just put a blindfold on foran hour and try to do what you normally do,and you will appreciate your eyes. Say thankyou for my eyes that enable me to seeeverything!

Think about your ears, which enable you tohear your own voice and other people’svoices so you can talk to people. Withoutears and your sense of hearing you could not



use a phone, hear music, listen to the radio,hear your loved ones talk, or hear any of thesounds of the world around you. Say thankyou for my hearing!

And to use any of your senses would be im-possible without your brain, which processesover a million messages a second through allof your senses! It is actually your brain thatenables you to sense and experience life, andthere is no computer technology in the worldthat can duplicate it. Say thank you for mybrain and my beautiful mind!

Think about the trillions of cells working un-ceasingly, 24/7, for your health, body, andlife. Say thank you cells! Think about yourlife-sustaining organs, which are continu-ously filtering, cleaning, and renewingeverything in your body, and think about the



fact that they do all their work automaticallywithout you even having to think about it.Say thank you, organs, for workingperfectly!

But more miraculous than any sense, system,function, or other organ in our body, is theorgan of your heart. Your heart governs thelife of every other organ, because it is yourheart that keeps the life flowing to every sys-tem in your body. Say thank you for mystrong and healthy heart!

Next, take a piece of paper or a card, andwrite on it in big bold letters:

THE GIFT OF HEALTH IS KEEPINGME ALIVE.



Take the card with you today, and put it in aplace where you know you will see it often. Ifyou work at a desk, you can put it right infront of you. If you’re a driver, put it in aplace in your car or truck where you will seeit often. If you’re at home most of the time,you can put it where you wash your hands, ornear your phone. Choose a place where youknow you will see the words you’ve writtenoften.

Today, on at least four separate occasions,when you see the words read them veryslowly, one word at a time, and feel as grate-ful as you can for the gift of health.

Being grateful for your health is essential tokeep your health, but also to guarantee thatit continues to get better, with increasing en-ergy and zest for life. If gratitude were used



in conjunction with conventional medicaltreatments, we would see a health revolu-tion, and recovery rates and miracles likewe’ve never seen before.

Day 5

Magic Money



“Gratitude is riches. Complaint ispoverty.”

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE HYMNAL



If there’s a lack of money in your life, un-derstand that feeling worried, envious, jeal-ous, disappointed, discouraged, doubtful, orfearful about money can never bring moremoney to you, because those feelings comefrom a lack of gratitude for the money youhave. Complaining about money, arguingabout money, getting frustrated aboutmoney, being critical of the cost ofsomething, or making someone else feel badabout money are not acts of gratitude, andthe money in your life can never improve; itwill worsen.

No matter what your current situation, thevery thought that you don’t have enoughmoney is being ungrateful for the money youhave. You have to get your current situationout of your mind and instead feel grateful for



the money you do have, so the money in yourlife can magically increase!

“Whoever has gratitude (for money) willbe given more, and she or he will have anabundance. Whoever does not have gratit-ude (for money), even what she or he haswill be taken from her or him.”

Feeling grateful for money when you havevery little is challenging for anyone, butwhen you understand that nothing willchange until you’re grateful you will be in-spired to do it.

The subject of money can be a tricky one formany people, especially when they don’thave enough, so there are two steps to theMagic Money practice. It’s important thatyou read through the entire practice of Magic



Money at the beginning of the day, becauseyou will continue with the money practicethroughout the day.

Sit down and take a few minutes to thinkback through your childhood before you hadany or much money. As you recall eachmemory where money was paid for you, sayand feel the magic words, thank you, with allyour heart for each instance.

Did you always have food to eat?

Did you live in a home?

Did you receive an education over manyyears?

How did you travel to school each day? Didyou have schoolbooks, school lunches, andall the things you needed for school?



Did you go on any vacations when you werea child?

What were the most exciting birthday giftsyou received when you were a child?

Did you have a bike, toys, or a pet?

Did you have clothes as you grew so quicklyfrom one size to the next?

Did you go to the movies, play sports, learna musical instrument, or pursue a hobby?

Did you go to the doctor and take medicinewhen you were not well?

Did you go to the dentist?



Did you have essential items that you usedevery day, like your toothbrush, toothpaste,soap, and shampoo?

Did you travel in a car?

Did you watch television, make phone calls,use lights, electricity, and water?

All of these things cost money, and you re-ceived them all – at no charge! As you travelback through memories of your childhoodand youth, you’ll realize how many thingsyou received that equate to hard-earnedmoney. Be grateful for every single instanceand memory, because when you can feel sin-cere gratitude for the money you’ve receivedin the past, your money will magically in-crease in the future! It is guaranteed byUniversal law.



To continue with the practice of MagicMoney, take a dollar bill and write on a stick-er that you place on the bill:

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE MONEYI’VE BEEN GIVEN THROUGHOUT MYLIFE.

Take your Magic Dollar Bill with you todayand put it in your wallet, purse, or pocket. Atleast once in the morning and once in the af-ternoon, or as many times as you want, takeit out and hold the Magic Dollar Bill in yourhands. Read your written words and be trulygrateful for the abundance of money you’vebeen given in your life. The more sincere youare, and the more you feel it, the faster youwill see a miraculous change to the circum-stances of your money.



You will never know ahead of time how yourmoney will increase, but likely you will seemany different circumstances change for youto have more money. You could find moneyyou didn’t realize you had, receive unexpec-ted cash or checks, receive discounts, re-bates, or decreases in costs, or receive allkinds of material things that would have costyou money.

After today, put your Magic Dollar Bill in aplace where you will continue to see it everyday to remind you to be grateful for theabundance of money you have been given,never forgetting that the more times you lookat your Magic Dollar Bill and feel gratitudefor the money you have been given, the moremagic you will bring forth. An abundance of



gratitude for money equals an abundance ofmoney!

If you find yourself in a situation whereyou’re about to complain about something todo with money, whether it’s through yourwords or your thoughts, ask yourself: “Am Iwilling to pay the price for this complaint?”Because that one complaint will slow or evenstop the flow of money.

From this day forward, make a promise toyourself that whenever you receive anymoney, whether it’s your salary for work, arefund or discount, or something thatsomeone gives you that costs money, you willbe truly grateful for it. Each of these circum-stances means that you have receivedmoney, and each instance gives you an op-portunity to use gratitude’s magical power to



increase and multiply your money even moreby being grateful for the money you’ve justreceived!

Day 6

Works Like Magic



“If you take any activity, any art, anydiscipline, any skill - take it and push itas far as it will go, push it beyondwhere it has ever been before, push it to



the wildest edges of edges, then youforce it into the realm of magic.”

Tom Robbins (b. 1936)WRITER

How can it be that a person who is borninto total poverty, starts out with nothing,and has very little education goes on to be-come a president or a celebrity, or builds anempire and becomes one of the wealthiestpeople in the world? And how is it that twopeople can start out in the same career, andyet one person’s career goes from success toeven greater success, while the other personworks himself or herself into the ground,with little success, no matter how hard theytry? The missing link to success is gratitude,because according to the law of attractionyou have to be grateful for what you have to



attract success to you. So, without gratitude,it’s impossible to have permanent success.

To bring success or increase the good thingsin your job or work, like opportunities, pro-motions, money, brilliant ideas, inspirations,and appreciation, it is essential to be gratefulfor your job or work. The more gratitude youhave, the more you will have to be gratefulfor! And you should be getting the idea bynow that to increase anything in your life,you have to be grateful for what you alreadyhave.

“Whoever has gratitude (for their work)will be given more, and he or she will havean abundance. Whoever does not havegratitude (for their work), even what he orshe has will be taken from him or her.”



When you are grateful for your job, you willautomatically give more to your work, andwhen you give more to your work, you willincrease the money and success that is re-turned to you. If you are not grateful for yourjob, you will automatically give less. Whenyou give less you decrease what comes backto you, and as a result, you will never behappy in your work, you will never give morethan you have to, and your job or work willstagnate and eventually deteriorate, whichcould mean losing your job. Remember, forthose who do not have gratitude, even whatthey have will be taken from them.

The amount you give in gratitude is exactlyproportional to the amount you receive in re-turn. You control the amount you receive, bythe amount of gratitude you give!



If you are a business owner, your business’svalue will increase or decrease according toyour gratitude. The more grateful you are foryour business, your customers, and your em-ployees, the more the business will grow andincrease. It is when business owners stop be-ing grateful and replace gratitude with worrythat their business spirals downward.

If you’re a parent and your work is takingcare of your children and managing yourhome, look for the things to be grateful for atthis time in your life. It is often a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and when you can begrateful for this time, you will attract moresupport, more help, more beautiful mo-ments, and more happiness to theexperience.



You should love your job, whatever it is, andbe excited about going to work, and youshouldn’t settle for anything less. If you don’tfeel that way about your current job, or if it’snot your dream job, the way to receive yourdream job is by first being grateful for the jobyou have.

Today, imagine that you have an invisiblemanager whose job it is to keep a record ofthe thoughts and feelings you have aboutyour job. Imagine that your manager will fol-low you wherever you go today, poised withpen and notebook in hand. Every time youfind something about your job to be gratefulfor, your manager will make a note of it.Your job is to find as many things as you canto be grateful for so at the end of the dayyour manager has a long list of all your



gratitude. The longer the list is, the moremagic your invisible manager can bring toyour money, work success, opportunities, en-joyment, and fulfillment.

Think about all the things you could begrateful for in your work. To begin with,think about the fact that you actually have ajob! Think about how many people are un-employed, who would give anything to havea job. Think about the timesaving equipmentyou use, such as phones, printers, the Inter-net, and computers. Think about the peopleyou work with, and the friendships you havewith them. Think about the people whomake your job easier, such as receptionists,assistants, janitors, and delivery people.Think about how good it feels when you re-ceive your paycheck, and think about the



favorite aspects of your job that you lovedoing.

Have your invisible manager make a noteeach time you find something you’re gratefulfor, by saying:

I’m so grateful for what? .

The more deeply your manager can seeyou’re feeling gratitude, the sooner yourmanager can start to make the magic happenin your work, and the more magic will becreated. It is possible that you could generateso much gratitude for your work in one daythat you would see the circumstances in-stantly improve. Lucky breaks don’t happenby accident. They are simply gratitude’s ma-gical power at work!



If this Works Like Magic practice falls on aweekend or when you’re not at work, moveon to the next day’s practice or practices, andthen go back and use this magical practice onthe first day you’re back at work.

Day 7

The Magical Way Outof Negativity



“A thankful person is thankful under allcircumstances.”



Bahá’u’lláh (1817–1892)PERSIAN FOUNDER OF THE BAHÁ’Í FAITH

Whether it’s a relationship in turmoil, fin-ancial pressure, a lack of health, or problemsin a job, negative situations arise because ofa lack of gratitude over a long period of time.If we are not grateful for each thing in ourlives, we are unintentionally taking thosethings for granted. Taking things for grantedis a major cause of negativity, because whenwe take things for granted we are not givingthanks in return, and we stop the magic hap-pening in our life. Just as giving thanks toothers will always lead to our life magicallyincreasing, so must taking things for grantedalways lead to our life decreasing.

Are you grateful for your health when it’sgood? Or do you only notice your health



when your body gets sick or hurts? Are yougrateful for your job every day, or do youonly value your job when you hear there willbe cutbacks? Are you grateful for your pay orsalary every single time you receive it, or doyou take your pay or salary for granted? Areyou grateful for your loved ones wheneverything is running smoothly, or do youonly talk to others about your loved oneswhen there are problems? Are you gratefulwhen your car is working well? Or do youonly think of your car when it breaks down?

Are you grateful to be alive each day? Or doyou take your life for granted?

Taking things for granted results in com-plaining, negative thoughts and words. Sowhen you complain, by the law of attraction,



you must bring more things into your life tocomplain about!

If you’re complaining about the weather, thetraffic, your boss, your spouse, your family, afriend, a stranger, waiting in lines, bills, theeconomy, the cost of something, or the ser-vice of a company, you are not being grateful,and you’re pushing your dream life furtheraway with every complaint.

Now you understand that complaining, neg-ative thoughts and words, and taking thingsfor granted stops the good things in your life.Now you understand that when somethinggoes very wrong you have unintentionallynot been grateful enough. It’s impossible tobe negative when you’re grateful. It’s im-possible to criticize and blame when you’regrateful. It’s impossible to feel sad or have



any negative feeling when you’re grateful.And the best news is that if you have anynegative situations in your life currently, itwon’t take a long period of time to transformthem with gratitude. The negative situationswill disappear in a puff of smoke – just likemagic!

First, as difficult as it may be, you have tolook for things to be grateful for in the negat-ive situation. No matter how bad things are,you can always find something to be gratefulfor, especially when you know that your grat-itude will magically transform every negativecircumstance. Walt Disney, who knew aboutthe true magic of life, showed us how to dothis in his movie Pollyanna.

Disney’s 1960 movie Pollyanna featured“The Glad Game,” which had a profound



effect on me when I was a child. I played TheGlad Game featured in the movie throughmy childhood and adolescence. To play TheGlad Game, you look for as many things asyou can to be glad about, especially in a neg-ative situation. Finding things to be gladabout (or finding things to be grateful for) ina negative situation make the solutionsappear!

Walt Disney demonstrated the magicalpower of gratitude in Pollyanna, and thou-sands of years earlier Buddha demonstratedthe way to use the same magical power whenhe said:

“Let us rise up and be thankful, for if wedidn’t learn a lot today, at least welearned a little, and if we didn’t learn a



little, at least we didn’t get sick, and ifwe got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, letus all be thankful.”

Gautama Buddha (circa 563 BC–483 BC)FOUNDER OF BUDDHISM

Let Buddha’s words be your inspiration, andtoday take one problem or negative situationin your life that you most want to resolve,and look for ten things to be grateful for. Iknow it can be challenging to begin this prac-tice, but Buddha is showing you the way todo it. Make a written list of ten things onyour computer, or in your gratitude journal.

As an example, your problem might be thatyou’re out of work, and despite your best ef-forts, you’re still unemployed. To magicallyturn this situation around, you have to do aconcentrated practice of gratitude on the



situation. Here are some examples of whatyou might say:

1. I am so grateful to have had moretime for my family during thisperiod.

2. I’m grateful that my life is in a lotbetter order because of the sparetime I’ve had.

3. I am grateful that I’ve had a jobmost of my life, and that I amexperienced.

4. I am truly grateful that this is thefirst time I’ve been unemployed.

5. I’m grateful that there are jobs outthere, and more new jobs are ap-pearing each day.



6. I am grateful for all the things I’velearned in applying for jobs and ingoing for interviews.

7. I am grateful that I have my healthand that I can work.

8. I’m grateful for my family’s encour-agement and support.

9. I’m grateful for the rest I’ve had, be-cause I needed it.

10. I’m grateful that through losing myjob, I’ve realized how much having ajob means to me. I had never real-ized that until now.

As a result of the unemployed person’s grat-itude, they will attract different circum-stances, and their current situation must and



will magically change. The power of gratit-ude is greater than any negative situation,and there are unlimited ways that the negat-ive situation can change. All you have to do ispractice gratitude and watch the magic takeplace!

Let’s take another example; a son whose re-lationship with his father is troubled. Theson feels that no matter what he does it nev-er seems to be good enough for his father.

1. I am grateful that most of the rela-tionships in my life are really good.

2. I’m grateful to my father for work-ing hard so that I could have theeducation that he didn’t get to have.



3. I’m grateful to my father for sup-porting our family through mychildhood, because I didn’t have aclue then how much hard work andmoney it took to keep our familygoing.

4. I’m grateful to my father for takingme to basketball every Saturdaywhen I was a child.

5. I’m grateful that my father is not astough on me these days as he used tobe in the past.

6. I’m grateful that my father cares somuch about me, because he wouldn’tbe tough if he didn’t care so much.



7. I’m grateful that through my rela-tionship with my father I havelearned to have compassion and agreater understanding with mychildren.

8. I’m grateful to my father for show-ing me how important encourage-ment is in raising happy, confidentchildren.

9. I’m really grateful when I get tolaugh with my father. Some peoplenever got to do that because theydidn’t have a father. And for others,who have lost their father, they willnever have the chance to laugh withtheir father again.



10. I am so truly grateful that I have myfather, because amid the toughtimes, there have been good times,and there will be more good timesahead with my father.

As a result of the son’s heartfelt feelings ofgratitude for his father, he will change theirrelationship for the better. The son changedthe way he thinks and feels about his father,which immediately changes what he attractsfrom his father. Even though the son was be-ing grateful in his mind, at an energetic andquantum level, the son’s gratitude will have amagical effect on his relationship with hisfather. Provided he maintains his gratitude,by the law of attraction, the son must receivefar better circumstances with his father, and



their relationship must begin to improveimmediately.

Remember, you can tell your gratitude isworking by the way that you feel. You shouldfeel a lot better about the situation afterpracticing gratitude. The first evidence ofgratitude’s magical power working is yourfeelings lifting, so when you do feel betterabout it, you know the situation will improveand the solutions will appear. The answer toany negative situation you want to resolve isto focus concentrated gratitude on it untilyou feel better inside; then you will see themagic work its wonder in the outside world.

In making your written list, make sure youlist each of the ten things you’re grateful forin the following way:



I am so grateful for .Or, I am truly grateful for .

And finish the sentence with what you’regrateful for. You can also use Walt Disney’sway of using gratitude’s magical power if youfind it easier:

I am so glad that .

And finish the sentence with what you’reglad about.

Once you’ve listed ten things you’re gratefulfor, finish the Magical Way Out of Negativitypractice by writing:

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for theperfect resolution.



And just for today, see if you can get throughone day without saying anything negative. Itmay be a challenge, but see if you can makeit through one day. There is an importantreason to do this, because most of us have noidea how much we speak negatively, butyou’ll have an idea after watching your wordsfor a day. Remember that negativity andcomplaint bring more of those things, and ifyou’re aware of what you’re saying you canstop and decide if you want the con-sequences of what you’re about to say. Hereis a magic lifeline you can use if you noticeyourself thinking or saying something negat-ive. Stop immediately, and say:

But I have to say that I am really grateful for.



Finish the rest of the sentence withsomething – anything – that you’re gratefulfor. Take this magic lifeline with you, andgrab a hold of it whenever you need it.

And if any little problem or situation appearsin the future, remember to put out the em-bers with gratitude before it grows into a fire.At the same time you will ignite the magic inyour life!




The Magical Way Out ofNegativity

1. Count Your Blessings: Make a list often blessings. Write why you’regrateful. Reread your list, and at theend of each blessing say thank you,thank you, thank you, and feel asgrateful for that blessing as you can.

2. Choose one problem or negative situ-ation in your life that you most wantto resolve.

3. List ten things that you are gratefulfor about the negative situation.



4. At the end of your list, write: Thankyou, thank you, thank you, for theperfect resolution.

5. Just for today, see if you can getthrough one day without saying any-thing negative. If you notice yourselfthinking or saying something negat-ive, use the magic lifeline. Stop im-mediately and say: But I have to saythat I am really grateful for .




Day 8

The Magic Ingredient



“A thankful heart hath a continualfeast.”



W. J. Cameron (1879–1953)JOURNALIST AND BUSINESSMAN

Giving thanks for food before you eat is atradition that has been followed for thou-sands of years, dating back to the ancientEgyptians. With the fast pace of life in thetwenty-first century, taking the time to givethanks for a meal has more often than notbeen left behind. But using the simple act ofeating and drinking as an opportunity to begrateful will increase the magic in your lifeexponentially!

If you think about a time when you werereally hungry, you will remember that youcould not think or function normally, yourbody felt weak, you might have started totremble, your mind became confused, andyour feelings plummeted. All of this can



happen after not eating for just a few hours!You need food to live, to think, and to feelgood, and so there is a great deal to be grate-ful for about food.

To feel even more gratitude for food, take amoment and think about all the people whocontributed to you having food to eat. Foryou to eat fresh fruit and vegetables, thegrowers had to plant and nurture the fruitand vegetables with continuous watering,protecting them over many months untilthey were ready for harvesting. Then thereare the pickers, the packers, and the distrib-utors, and the transportation people whodrive enormous distances day and night, allof them working together in perfect harmonyto ensure that every fruit and vegetable is



delivered fresh to you, and is available yearround.

Think about the meat growers, fishermen,dairy farmers, coffee and tea growers, and allthe packaged food companies who work tire-lessly to produce the food we eat. The world’sfood production is a breathtaking orchestra-tion that takes place every day, and it’s un-fathomable that it all works when you thinkabout the number of people involved inmaintaining the world’s food and drink sup-plies to stores, restaurants, supermarkets,cafés, airplanes, schools, hospitals, and everyhome on the planet.

Food is a gift! It’s a gift of nature, becausethere would be nothing for any of us to eat ifnature didn’t supply us with the soil, nutri-ents, and water to grow food. Without water,



there would be no food, vegetation, animals,or human life. We use water to cook ourmeals, grow our food, maintain our gardens,supply our bathrooms, sustain every vehiclethat moves, support our hospitals, fuel, min-ing, and manufacturing industries, enabletransportation, make our roads, makeclothes and every consumer product and ap-pliance on the planet, make plastic, glass,and metal, make life-saving medications,and build our homes and every other build-ing and structure. And water keeps our bod-ies alive. Water, water, water, glorious water!

“If there is magic on this planet it iscontained in water.”

Loren Eiseley (1907–1977)ANTHROPOLOGIST AND NATURAL SCIENCE

WRITER



Where would we be without food and water?We simply wouldn’t be here. None of ourfamily or friends would be here either. Wewouldn’t have this day, or any tomorrow. Buthere we are on this beautiful planet together,living life with its challenges and ecstaticjoys, because of nature’s gifts of food andwater! To say the simple, magic words,thank you, before you eat or drink anythingis an act of recognition and gratitude for themiracle of food and water.

The incredible thing is that when you aregrateful for food and water, it doesn’t just af-fect your life; your gratitude also impacts theworld’s supply. If enough people felt gratit-ude for food and water, it would actually helpthe people who are starving and in greatneed. By the law of the attraction, and



Newton’s law of action and reaction, the ac-tion of mass gratitude must produce an equalmass reaction, which would change the cir-cumstances of scarcity of food and water foreveryone on the planet.

In addition, your gratitude for food and wa-ter keeps the magic continuing in your life,and it will weave its glorious golden threadthrough everything that is dear to you,everything that you love, and everything thatyou’re dreaming of.

In ancient times people believed that whenthey blessed their food and water with gratit-ude it purified whatever they were blessing,and when you look at the theories and dis-coveries that quantum physics have made inrecent times, such as the observer effect, theancients may very well have been right. The



observer effect in quantum physics refers tochanges that the act of observation makes onwhatever is being observed. Imagine if focus-ing gratitude on your food and drinkschanged their energy structure, and purifiedthem so that everything you consumed hadthe ultimate effect of well-being on yourbody?

One of the ways to experience the magic ofgratitude instantly with food and drinks is toreally savor what you’re eating or drinking.When you savor your food or drinks you’reappreciating them, or being grateful. As anexperiment, next time you’re in the middle ofeating food or drinking any liquid, when youtake a mouthful, concentrate on the taste ofthe food in your mouth or the flavor of the li-quid before you swallow it. You’ll find that



when you focus on the food or drink in yourmouth, and savor it, the flavors seem to ex-plode, and when you don’t focus the flavorsweaken dramatically. It’s your energy of fo-cus and gratitude that instantly enhances theflavor!

Before you eat or drink anything today,whether you’re about to eat a meal, a piece offruit, or a snack, or have a drink of anything,including water, take a moment to look atwhat you’re about to eat or drink, and inyour mind or out loud say the magic words,thank you! And if you can, just take onemouthful really savoring it; it will not onlyincrease your enjoyment, it will help you tofeel far more gratitude.

You can also try something I do, which helpsme to feel even more gratitude. When I say



the magic words, I wave my fingers over myfood or drink as though I’m sprinkling themwith magic dust, and I imagine that the ma-gic dust instantly purifies everything ittouches. Doing this has helped me really feelthat gratitude is the magic ingredient, and Iwant to add it to everything I eat and drink!If you find it more effective you can imaginethat you have a shaker of magic dust in yourhand, and you’re shaking the magic dust outof the shaker all over your food before youeat it, and into every drink.

If at any time during the day you forget tosay the magic words, thank you, before youeat or drink anything, as soon as you remem-ber, close your eyes, go back in your mind tothe time when you forgot, visualize yourselfin your mind for a second or two before you



ate or drank, and say the magic words. If youforget to be grateful for food and drinks mul-tiple times in the day, then repeat this samepractice tomorrow. You can’t afford to miss asingle day in building your gratitude – yourdreams depend upon it!

Being grateful for the simple things in life,like food and water, is one of the deepest ex-pressions of gratitude, and when you can feelthat degree of gratitude, you will see the ma-gic happen.




The Magic Ingredient

Day 9

The Money Magnet



“It is only with gratitude that life be-comes rich.”



Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906–1945)LUTHERAN PASTOR

Gratitude is riches and complaint ispoverty; it’s the golden rule of your wholelife, whether it’s your health, job, relation-ships, or money. The more grateful you canbe for the money you have, even if you don’thave very much, the more riches you will re-ceive. And the more you complain aboutmoney, the poorer you will become.

Today’s magical practice turns one of thebiggest reasons people complain aboutmoney into an act of gratitude, and so it hasdouble the power to change the circum-stances of your money; you’ll be replacing acomplaint, which makes you poorer, withgratitude, which magically brings you riches.



Most people wouldn’t think they complainabout money, but if there is a lack of moneyin their life they are complaining withoutrealizing it. Complaining happens throughpeople’s thoughts as well as their words, andmost people aren’t aware of the manythoughts in their head. Any complaining,negative, jealous, or worried thoughts orwords about money are literally creatingpoverty. And of course the biggest com-plaints come when money has to be paid out.

If you don’t have enough money, paying yourbills can be one of the most difficult things todo. It can seem like there is a greater streamof bills than there is money to pay them. Butif you complain about your bills then whatyou are really doing is complaining about



money, and complaining keeps you inpoverty.

If you don’t have enough money, the lastthing you would normally do is feel gratefulfor your bills, but in fact that’s exactly whatyou have to do to receive more money inyour life. To have a rich life, you must begrateful for everything to do with money,and begrudging your bills is not being grate-ful. You must do the exact opposite, which isto be grateful for the goods or servicesyou’ve received from those who billed you. Itis such a simple thing to do, but it will have amonumental effect on the money in your life.You will literally become a money magnet!

To be grateful for a bill, think about howmuch you’ve benefited from the service orgoods on the bill. If it’s payment for rent or a



mortgage, be grateful that you have a home,and you’re living in it. What if the only wayyou could live in a home was by saving up allthe money and paying cash for it? What ifthere was no such thing as lending institu-tions or places to rent? Most of us would beliving on the streets, so be grateful to thelending institutions or your landlord, be-cause they have made it possible for you tolive in a home or apartment.

If you’re paying a bill for gas or electricity,think about the heating or cooling you re-ceived, the hot showers, and every applianceyou were able to use because of the service. Ifyou’re paying a phone or Internet bill, ima-gine how difficult your life would be if youhad to travel vast distances to talk to eachperson individually. Think about how many



times you’ve been able to call family andfriends, send and receive emails, or accessinformation instantly through the Internetbecause of your service provider. All of theseremarkable services are at your fingertips, sobe grateful for them, and be grateful that thecompanies trust you by providing their ser-vices before you have paid for them.

Ever since I discovered the phenomenalpower of gratitude, I write the magic words,“Thank you – Paid,” on every bill as I pay it,and I never miss a single one. At the begin-ning, when I didn’t have the money to pay abill, I would still use gratitude’s magicalpower, and would instead write across thebill, “Thank you for the money.” Then whenI had the money to pay it, I would add,“Thank you – Paid.”



Today you are going to do the same. Takeany currently unpaid bills you have, and usegratitude’s magical power by writing acrossthem, “Thank you for the money,” and feelgrateful for having the money to pay the bill,whether you have it or not. If you receive andpay most of your bills online, then when youreceive an online bill forward it to yourself asan email and write in the subject line in cap-ital bold letters, THANK YOU FOR THEMONEY.

Next, find ten bills you’ve paid in the pastand write across the front of each one themagic words, “Thank you – Paid.” As youwrite on each paid bill, feel as grateful as youpossibly can that you had the money to paythe bill. The more gratitude you can harness



for the bills you’ve paid, the more money youwill magically magnetize to you!

From this day forward, you could make ityour regular practice that whenever you paya bill, you briefly think about the great ser-vice you’ve received from the bill, and writeacross the face of the bill the magic words,“Thank you – Paid.” And if you don’t havethe money to pay a bill, use gratitude’s ma-gical power and write, “Thank you for themoney,” and feel as if you’re saying thankyou because you have the money to pay thebill!

Feeling gratitude for the money you’ve paidout guarantees you will receive more. Gratit-ude is like a magnetic golden thread attachedto your money, so when you pay money out,the money always returns to you, sometimes



equally, sometimes tenfold, sometimes ahundredfold. The abundance you receiveback depends not on how much money yougive, but on how much gratitude you give.You could have so much gratitude when youpay a bill for fifty dollars that you could re-ceive back hundreds of dollars.




The Money Magnet


2. Take any current unpaid bills youhave, use gratitude’s magical power,and write across each one: Thankyou for the money. Feel grateful forhaving the money to pay the bill,whether you have it or not.



3. Take ten bills you’ve paid in the past,and write across the front of each oneof them the magic words: “Thank you– Paid.” Feel truly grateful that youhad the money to pay the bill!

4. Before you go to sleep, take your Ma-gic Rock in one hand, and say themagic words, thank you, for the bestthing that happened during the day.



Day 10

Magic Dust Everyone



“No duty is more urgent than that of re-turning thanks.”



Saint Ambrose (AD 340–397)THEOLOGIAN AND CATHOLIC BISHOP

Ancient spiritual teachings say that whatwe give to another person with a full heartreturns to us a hundredfold. So being grate-ful and saying thank you to another personfor anything you receive from them is notonly urgent, it’s vital to improving your life!

Gratitude is a powerful energy, and sowhomever you direct gratitude’s energy to-ward, that’s where it goes. If you think ofgratitude’s energy looking like sparkling ma-gic dust, then when you express gratitude toanother person in return for somethingyou’ve received from them, you are literallysprinkling them with that magic dust! Thepowerful, positive energy in magic dust



reaches and affects whomever you sprinkle iton.

Most of us make contact with many peopleevery day, whether on the phone, throughemail, or face to face at work, in stores, res-taurants, elevators, buses, or trains, and inmany cases the people we make contact withdeserve our gratitude, because we are receiv-ing something from them.

Think about the people you encounter on atypical day who provide you with some kindof service, like those working in stores or res-taurants, bus or cab drivers, customer ser-vice people, cleaners, or the staff at yourwork. The people who work in service aregiving themselves to serve you, and you’rereceiving their service. If you don’t say thankyou in return for their service, then you’re



not being grateful, and you’re stopping thegood from coming into your life.

Think about the maintenance workers whokeep our transport systems working safely,and those who maintain the service of utilit-ies such as electricity, gas, water, and ourroads.

Think about the cleaners of the world whoclean our streets, public bathrooms, trains,buses, airplanes, hospitals, restaurants, su-permarkets, and office buildings. You can’tpersonally say thank you to all of them, butyou can sprinkle them with magic dust bysaying thank you next time you pass one ofthem. And you can be grateful next time yousit at your clean desk, or walk on a cleansidewalk, or across a polished floor.



When you’re at a café or restaurant, sprinklemagic dust by saying thank you to each per-son as they serve you. Whether cleaning thetable, giving you the menu, receiving yourorder, filling your glass with water, servingthe meal you ordered, clearing the table, giv-ing you the bill, or giving your change, re-member to say thank you every single time.If you’re in a store or supermarket checkout,sprinkle magic dust and say thank you to theperson who serves you or packs yourgroceries.

If you are traveling by plane, sprinkle magicdust by saying thank you to the check-inpeople, the people in security, the personwho checks your ticket as you board, and thecabin crew who greet you as you enter theplane. During the flight, say thank you to the



cabin crew every time they perform a servicefor you. Serving drinks and food or removingyour plate or trash is a service. The airlinethanks you for flying with them, the captainthanks you, and the crew thank you, so dothe same and thank them as you leave theplane. And every time you take off and landat your destination say thank you, becausethe fact that you can fly is an absolutemiracle!

Be grateful to those people who assist you inyour work, whether they are clerical staff, re-ceptionists, canteen staff, cleaners, customerservice people, or any of your work col-leagues. Magic dust them all with thank you!All of them are doing you a service, and theydeserve your continued gratitude in return.



Store assistants, waiters, and waitresseswork very hard to serve people. They havechosen a job to serve other people, andserving the public means encountering allkinds of people in varying moods, includingthose who are ungrateful. Next time you arebeing served by another person, rememberthat the person who is serving you is a pre-cious daughter or son to parents, an irre-placeable brother or sister to siblings, amother or father to a family and children,and a loved and adored partner or friend,and they deserve your kindness andpatience.

At times you may encounter a person in ser-vice who behaves rudely toward you ordoesn’t give you the attention you think youdeserve. It may be more challenging to be



grateful in these situations, but your gratit-ude cannot be dependent on another per-son’s behavior. Choose to be grateful no mat-ter what! Choose magic in your life no matterwhat! It might help you to remember thatyou don’t know what difficulty someonemight be going through at the time you con-nect with him or her. They may be feelingunwell, they may have just lost a loved one,their marriage might have just ended, or theymay be in desperation and at a tipping pointin their life. Your gratitude and kindnessmight be the most magical thing that hap-pens to them that day.

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fight-ing a hard battle.”

Philo of Alexandria (circa 20 BC–AD 50)PHILOSOPHER



If you thank someone on the phone for his orher help, don’t throw away your thank you;instead, give the reason why you’re grateful.For example, “Thank you for your help.”“Thank you for going out of your way forme.” “Thank you for giving me so much ofyour time.” “Thank you for resolving thesituation for me, I’m very grateful to you.”You will be amazed at the response from theother person when you do this one simplething, because they will feel your sincerity.

When you say thank you to someone in per-son, look at his or her face. They will not feelyour gratitude or receive your magic dust un-less you look directly at them. You’ve wastedan opportunity to help that person and tochange your own life if you say thank you tothe air, or say thank you as you’re looking



down, or thank you while you’re on your cellphone, because you’re not really sincerewhen you do that.

A couple of years ago I was in a store buyinga gift for my sister. The store assistant whoserved me listened to what I was looking for,and then went on a search for the perfect giftas though it was for her sister! As the storeassistant handed me the bag containing theperfect, beautifully wrapped gift, I received acall on my cell phone. I was finishing the callwhen I reached the front entrance of thestore, and suddenly an unsettled feelingswept over me. I immediately returned to thestore assistant who had helped me, and I notonly thanked her, but I told her all the reas-ons why I was grateful to her, and how muchI appreciated everything she did for me. I



showered her with gratitude’s magic dust!Her eyes filled with tears, and the biggestsmile you’ve ever seen swept across her face.

Every action always has an equal reaction. Ifyou really mean it when you say thank you,the other person will feel it, and you will notonly have made another person feel reallygood, but your gratitude will fill you with anindescribable happiness. That day I walkedout of the store indescribably happy.

I don’t use magic dust only for the peoplewho serve; I use gratitude’s magic dust in allkinds of situations. When I say goodbye tomy daughter before she drives to her home, Ifeel gratitude for her having arrived homesafely, and I wave my fingers in the air andimagine sprinkling magic dust over her andher car. Sometimes I sprinkle magic dust on



my computer before I begin a new project, orsprinkle magic dust ahead of me before Iwalk into a store to look for something inparticular that I need. My daughter uses ma-gic dust when she’s driving, and if she seesanother driver who seems to be stressed andis speeding, she sprinkles magic dust overthem to help make them feel better and keepthem safe.

Today, take gratitude’s magic dust with youfor the people who work in service, and lookfor every opportunity you can to sprinklemagic dust on everyone by saying thank you.Thank at least ten people who perform dif-ferent services you benefit from today. Itdoesn’t matter if you don’t get the opportun-ity to do it in person; you can mentally ac-knowledge the people whose service you



benefit from. The magic dust will still reachthem. As an example, mentally say toyourself:

I’m really grateful to the cleaners who workthrough the early hours of the morning,making sure that the streets are cleaned oftrash every day. I’ve never really thoughtabout how grateful I am for that service,which is done like clockwork every day.Thank you.

Make sure you keep count of the people inservice you are grateful for, so that you knowwhen you have thanked ten different peoplefor their services and sprinkled magic duston them all. If you imagine the sparkling ma-gic dust falling over people when you thankthem, you have a picture of what really hap-pens in the invisible with the power of



gratitude. With this picture in your mind, itwill help you to believe and know that themagic dust of gratitude really does reachpeople, and that it will be available to helpthem to improve their lives. And every timeyou sprinkle magic dust over another person,it also returns to you in your own life.

If you’re at home today, then sit down with apen and journal or on your computer, and goback in your mind recalling instances wherepeople in service went out of their way foryou. It may have been someone on thephone, or it may have been a tradespersonwho was determined to resolve a problem foryou. Maybe you’ve received great servicefrom your mail person, the trash collectorsor recycling companies, or local store assist-ants. Make a written list of ten instances



where people in service helped you, and sendmagic dust by saying thank you to every oneof them.

Day 11

A Magic Morning



“When you arise in the morning thinkof what a privilege it is to be alive, tothink, to enjoy, to love.”



Marcus Aurelius (121–180)ROMAN EMPEROR

The easiest and simplest way to ensurethat your day ahead will be filled with magicis to fill your morning with gratitude. Whenyou incorporate gratitude into your morningroutine, you will feel and see its magical be-nefits throughout the whole day.

Each morning is full of opportunities to givethanks, and it doesn’t slow you down or takeany extra time, because you can do it natur-ally as you go about everything you do. Thereis an added bonus to filling your morningwith gratitude because your daily routinesare the times when you can harm yourselfthe most by thinking negative thoughtswithout realizing you’re doing it. There’s noroom for harmful negative thoughts when



your mind is focused on looking for things tobe grateful for. After this practice you will gointo your day feeling much happier and moreconfident that the day ahead will be great –and that’s when you will see the magic hap-pen before your very eyes!

When you wake up to the new day today, be-fore you move, before you do a single thing,say the magic words, thank you. Say thankyou for the fact that you are alive, and thatyou’ve been given another day of life. Yourlife is a gift, every day is a gift, and when youreally think about it, it’s inconceivable thatany of us would wake up in the morningwithout giving thanks for another day. If youthink a new day isn’t such a big deal, thenjust try missing one! It doesn’t matter howsleepy you are, or if your alarm has woken



you up for work, or you’ve slept in during theweekend; the moment you wake, say the ma-gic words, thank you, for another day of yourlife.

Say thank you for the good night’s sleep youreceived. Are you fortunate enough to haveslept in a bed, with sheets and a pillow?Thank you! As your feet hit the ground saythank you. Do you have a bathroom? Thankyou! Are you able to turn on the taps and im-mediately receive fresh, clean water everymorning? Thank you! Imagine all the peoplewho dug the trenches and laid the pipesacross your country, throughout your city,and along all the streets to your home so youcan turn a tap and receive beautiful, clean,hot water. Thank you! As you reach for yourtoothbrush and toothpaste, thank you!



Without them, your day would not begin sopleasantly. Thank you for the towels, thesoap, the mirror, and everything in the bath-room you use that makes you feel fresh,awake, and ready for the day.

As you get dressed, think about how fortu-nate you are to have clothes to choose fromand wear. Thank you! Think about howmany people must have been involved inmaking all the various items of clothing youput on and wear in one day. It’s likely thatthe clothes you put on in one day come frommany countries across the planet. Thank youto everybody! Do you have shoes? Luckyyou! Imagine life without them. Thank youfor shoes!



“I have always been delighted at theprospect of a new day, a fresh try, onemore start, with perhaps a bit of magicwaiting somewhere behind themorning.”

J. B. Priestley (1894–1984)WRITER AND PLAYWRIGHT

Make today as good as it can be by practicingconcentrated gratitude and putting the ma-gic into your morning routine. From the mo-ment you open your eyes until you have putyour shoes on or finished getting ready, saythe magic words, thank you, in your mindfor everything you touch and use. It doesn’tmatter if you don’t shower or get dressedfirst thing in the morning, you can still usethis Magic Morning practice as a guide andapply it to whatever your morning routine is.



If you wake up and eat breakfast first, thenas you touch and use each thing for yourbreakfast say the magic words, thank you.Give thanks for your morning coffee, tea,fruit juice, or breakfast. They make yourmornings so enjoyable and give you energyfor the day. Be grateful for the kitchen appli-ances you use for your breakfast – the refri-gerator, hot plates, oven, toaster, coffeemaker, or kettle.

Every day without exception, I say “thank” asI put one foot on the floor, and “you” as myother foot touches the floor, so that as bothfeet touch the floor for the first time eachday, I’ve said thank you. As I walk towardmy bathroom I say the magic words, thankyou, in my mind with each step. Then I con-tinue saying thank you in my mind as I



touch and use each thing in my bathroom.By the time I am dressed and ready for theday, I feel so happy I could jump for joy. Andwhen I feel that happy, I know my gratitudehas worked, and I am guaranteed to have amagical day. As I go through my day, I reallyfeel as though I have a magic power with me,because one good thing after another hap-pens. And as each good thing happens, I’meven more grateful, which speeds up the ma-gic with even more good things happening.You know those days when everything justseems to go right for you? Well, that’s whatit’s like after doing Magic Morning, butmultiplied!




A Magic Morning

1. When you wake up to the new day,before you do a single thing, say themagic words, thank you.

2. From the moment you open youreyes until you’ve finished gettingready, say the magic words, thankyou, in your mind for everything youtouch and use.

3. Count Your Blessings: Make a list often blessings. Write why you’regrateful. Reread your list, and at theend of each blessing say thank you,



thank you, thank you, and feel asgrateful for that blessing as you can.




Day 12

Magical People WhoMade a Difference



“At times our own light goes out and isrekindled by a spark from another per-son. Each one of us has cause to think



with deep gratitude of those who havelighted the flame within us.”

Albert Schweitzer (1875–1965)NOBEL PEACE PRIZE–WINNING

MEDICAL MISSIONARY AND PHILOSOPHER

Every one of us has received help, support,or guidance from other people at particulartimes in our life when we needed it most. So-metimes another person alters the course ofour life through their encouragement, guid-ance, or just being there at the right time.And then life goes on, and we tend to forgetthose times when one person touched us orchanged our life. Sometimes you don’t evenrealize the impact a person had until well in-to the future, when you look back on your lifeand realize that a particular person was



pivotal in magically changing the direction ofyour life for the better.

The person may have been a teacher orcoach, an uncle, aunt, sibling, grandparent,or any family member. They may have beena doctor, nurse, or best friend. They mayhave been the person who introduced you toyour current partner or to a particular in-terest that became one of your greatest pas-sions. Maybe they were someone you didn’teven know, and they appeared in your lifevery briefly, performing a random act ofkindness that touched you to the core.

My grandmother gave me my love for books,cooking, and the countryside. By sharing herlove of those things with me, all of them af-fected and changed the course of my life.Cooking became a passion of mine for over



twenty years, my love of books eventually ledto me becoming a writer, and my love of thecountryside has influenced where I’ve livedthroughout my life.

My grandmother also disciplined me with asteel hand to say thank you. At the time Ithought she was just teaching me to be po-lite. It was only later in my life I realized thatteaching me to say the magic words was thegreatest gift my grandmother ever gave me.She is not alive anymore, but I continue to begrateful to her for the huge influence she hadon the course of my life. Thank you,Grandma!

Today, you are going to think about the ma-gical people who have impacted your life.Find a quiet place alone sometime during theday today, sit down, and think of three



extraordinary people who have made a dif-ference in your life. Once you have yourthree people, work with one person at a time,and talk out loud to each person as thoughthey were present, telling him or her thereasons why you’re grateful to them, andhow they affected the course of your life.

Make sure you do this magical practice withall three people in the one session, because itwill take your feeling of gratitude to a fardeeper level. If you split up this magicalpractice throughout the day, you will not feelthe same depth of gratitude, nor receive themagical results.

Here’s an example of what you might say:

Sarah, I want to thank you for the time thatyou encouraged me to follow my heart. I



was lost and confused that day, and yourwords touched me, and lifted me out of des-pair. Because of what you said, I found thecourage to follow my dream, and I moved toFrance to work as an apprentice chef. I amliving my dream, and I couldn’t be happier.All because of what you said to me that day.Thank you, Sarah!

It’s very important that you say the reasonswhy you’re grateful. And you can’t say toomuch. Instead, the more you say, and themore you feel, the more amazing the results.You will see the magic explode into your lifefrom doing this practice; it numbers amongthe most powerful acts of gratitude you canever perform.

If you’re not in a position to talk out loud,then you can write down your words to each



person, and address them as though you’rewriting a letter.

When you have completed this practice, youwill feel a huge difference in the way that youfeel. The evidence of gratitude’s power work-ing is always that first and foremost it makesyou happy! The secondary evidence of gratit-ude’s power is that you attract wonderfulthings. And as if all of that wasn’t enough,the happiness you feel after practicing gratit-ude also attracts more wonderful things,which will make you even happier. That’s themagic of life, and that’s the magical power ofgratitude!




Magical People Who Made aDifference


2. Find a quiet place alone sometimeduring today, and make a list ofthree people who made a differencein your life.



3. Work through the list one person at atime, and while talking out loud telleach person the reason why you’regrateful for them, and exactly howthey affected the course of your life.




Day 13

Make All Your WishesCome True



“Imagination is the true magic carpet.”

Norman Vincent Peale (1898–1993)WRITER



If you have been following the magicalpractices day by day, you have now built anamazing foundation by practicing gratitudefor everything you have received and contin-ue to receive in your life. But today is an ex-citing day, because you’re going to begin touse gratitude’s magical power for yourdreams and desires!

Hundreds of native cultures through the cen-turies have traditionally given thanks forwhat they want before they receive it, creat-ing elaborate ceremonies to put as much en-ergy as they could into giving thanks. TheEgyptians have celebrated the flooding of theNile River since ancient times to ensure thecontinual flow of water in the river, Americ-an Indians and Australian Aborigines per-form rain dances, various African tribes



perform ceremonies for their food beforethey hunt for it, and the very nature of prayerin every culture and religion is giving thanksbefore having received what is desired.

The law of attraction says that like attractslike, which means you must form in yourmind a likeness, or an image, of what youwant. Then, to attract your desire to you, youhave to feel as though it’s yours, so that howyou feel is also like how you would feel whenyou had what you wanted. The easiest way todo that is to be grateful for what you want –before you’ve received it. If it never occurredto you before to use gratitude to receive whatyou want, you have now discovered anotherof its magical powers. The very words in theHoly Scriptures promise exactly that:



“Whoever has gratitude (now) will be giv-en more (in the future), and he or she willhave an abundance.”

Gratitude is something you must have beforeyou can receive, not something that yousimply do after something good hashappened. Most people are grateful afterthey receive something good, but to make allyour wishes come true and change your en-tire life by filling it with riches in every area,you must be grateful before and after.

Through the act of being sincerely gratefulfor receiving your desire beforehand, youimmediately form an image in your mindthat you have it, you feel as though you haveit, and you’re fulfilling your part. If you con-tinue to hold to that image and feeling, youwill magically receive your desire. You won’t



know how you’ll receive it, and it is not yourjob to figure it out. You don’t try to figure outhow gravity is going to keep you on theground when you go for a walk, do you? Youtrust and know that when you go for a walkthe law of gravity will keep you firmly on theground. Likewise, you must trust and knowthat when you’re grateful for what you want,what you want will be magically moved toyou, because it is the law of the Universe.



What Do You Most Want RightNow?

At the beginning of this book I asked you toget really clear about what you want in everyarea of your life. (If you didn’t do that earlier,now is the time to do it.) Go to the lists youcreated now, and choose your top ten desiresfor this magical practice. You can select tendesires from different areas of your life, suchas money, health, home, and relationships,or you might want to choose ten desires inone area you really want to change, such aswork or success. Be very clear and specificabout what you most want, so that you cansee the changes magically happen from thispractice. Imagine you are putting in a magicorder with the Universe for your top ten



desires, because in truth, by using the law ofattraction, that’s exactly what you are doing.

Sit down at a computer or with a pen andjournal, and create a separate list of your topten desires in the following way, as thoughyou’ve received them:

Thank you, thank you, thank you for, and fill in the blank with your desire

as though you’ve received it. For example:

Thank you, thank you, thank you for thehigh marks in my exam results, which gotme into the exact college I wanted!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for thegreat news that we are having a baby!



Thank you, thank you, thank you for ourdream home, which has everything wewanted it to have down to the last detail!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for theamazing phone call with my dad that hasimproved our relationship!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for themedical results that show I am all clear, andhealthy again!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the un-expected money I received, which is the ex-act amount I needed for my European trip!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for thedoubling of our sales figures this month!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for theideas that won us our biggest client yet!



Thank you, thank you, thank you for myperfect partner!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for howeasy and effortless our move was!

Writing thank you three times in a row is apowerful thing to do because it prevents youfrom throwing the words away, and in-creases your focus of gratitude. Saying thankyou three times is also a magic formula, be-cause it is the mathematical number of allnew creation in the Universe. For example, ittakes one male and one female to create ababy. The male, female, and baby total three,completing a new creation. The same rule ofthree applies to the creation of everything inthe Universe, including the creation of yourdesires, and so when you say thank you threetimes in a row, you are using the magic



number of creation, and a secret magicformula!

The second step of Make All Your WishesCome True involves saturating your desireswith even more gratitude. You can completethe second step at any time during the daytoday, either at the same time as listing yourtop ten desires, or intermittently throughoutthe day.

To saturate each of your desires with gratit-ude’s magical power, begin with the first de-sire on your list and using your imaginationmentally answer the following questions, asthough you’ve received your desire:

1. What emotions did you feel when youreceived your desire?



2. Who was the first person you toldwhen you received your desire, andhow did you tell them?

3. What is the first great thing you didwhen you received your desire? In-clude as much detail as you can inyour mind.

Finally, reread each desire, and really em-phasize the magic words, thank you, so thatyou feel them as much as you can.

Move on to the second desire on your list,and follow the same steps with each desire,until you’ve completed all ten desires. Spendat least one minute on each desire.

If you want to do something that’s reallypowerful and a lot of fun, you can also create



a Magic Board, where you attach pictures ofyour desires. Cut out the pictures and attachthem to a board that’s in a place where youwill see it often. Place the magic wordsTHANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANKYOU in big bold letters on your MagicBoard. Or you can use your refrigerator asyour Magic Board. If you have a family, youcan create a Magic Board as a family project,because children love it! Imagine that yourMagic Board is truly magical, and thatwhatever you place a picture of on yourboard is instantly being moved toward you.Your continued gratitude for it will magnet-ize it all the way into your life.




Make All Your Wishes ComeTrue


2. Sit down at a computer or with a penand journal, and list your top ten de-sires. Write thank you three timesbefore each one, as though you’vealready received it. For example:



Thank you, thank you, thank you foryour desire .

3. Using your imagination, answer thefollowing questions in your mind, asthough you’ve received each of yourten desires:

1. What emotions did you feelwhen you received yourdesire?

2. Who was the first person youtold when you received yourdesire, and how did you tellthem?

3. What is the first great thingyou did when you receivedyour desire? Include as much



detail as you can in yourmind.

4. Finally, reread the sentence listingyour desire, and really emphasize themagic words, thank you, so that youfeel them as much as you can.

5. If you like, create a Magic Board. Cutout pictures and attach them to yourMagic Board, and put it in a placeyou see often. Title the board withTHANK YOU, THANK YOU,THANK YOU in big bold lettersacross the top.

6. Just before you go to sleep tonight,hold your Magic Rock in one hand,and say the magic words, thank you,



for the best thing that happened dur-ing the day.



Day 14

Have a Magical Day



“Intentions compressed into words en-fold magical power.”



Deepak Chopra (B. 1946)MEDICAL DOCTOR AND WRITER

To see and experience the most magicalday of your life, you can be grateful for yourwhole day before you live it! To Have A Ma-gical Day, you simply think through yourplans for the day and say the magic words,thank you, for each one going well, beforeyou’ve lived it. It’s the easiest thing to do, itonly takes a few minutes, but the differenceit can make in your day is incredible. Beinggrateful for your day beforehand creates amagical day through the law of attraction;when you give thanks for the experiences inyour day going well, you must receive backexperiences going well!

If you don’t believe you have the power to af-fect the circumstances of your day so



dramatically, think about a time when youwoke up grumpy or in a bad mood. You wentoff into your day, and one thing after anotherwent wrong, until by the end of the day youwere exclaiming that you had a heck of a badday – as though the bad day happened by ac-cident. Well, the only reason you had a badday was because you took your bad moodfrom the morning with you, and it was yourbad mood that was the cause of one thingafter another going wrong.

Even waking up in a bad mood doesn’t hap-pen by accident, because it means that youwent to sleep thinking negatively aboutsomething, perhaps without realizing it. It’sthe very reason why you are doing the MagicRock practice last thing at night, to ensurethat you go to sleep thinking good thoughts.



The Magic Rock practice at night combinedwith Count Your Blessings every morningsets your good mood at night and in themorning, and they guarantee that you arefeeling good before you go off into your day.

To Have A Magical Day you need to feelgood. I don’t know of anything other thangratitude that guarantees to put you in agood mood almost instantly.

Whatever your plans are for the day today,whether it’s traveling, a meeting, work pro-ject, lunch, exercise, dropping off dry clean-ing, playing a sport, going to the theater,meeting a friend, yoga, cleaning your house,going to school, or buying groceries, turntoday into a magical day by saying the magicwords, thank you, for each plan going well –before you live it! If you’re a person who



writes daily lists of things you need to do,then you can go through your daily list andbe grateful for each one having gone well.Whether you do this magical practice in yourmind or on paper, the most important thingis that you feel the result of each plan oractivity was the best it could have been.

When you use gratitude ahead of time toHave A Magical Day it wipes out unexpectedproblems or difficulties before they happen.The more you use this magical practice, thebetter your days will become, and from thesmallest things to the important things,everything starts going well in your life. Thebumpy days smooth out, and instead of frus-trating or troublesome things happening inyour day, your days start to have a magicalflow about them, and things seem to



magically go your way, with less effort, noworry, no stress, and far more joy.

When I first began to use gratitude to Have AMagical Day, I chose to give thanks ahead oftime for the events in my day that I didn’tenjoy doing very much. One of those thingswas going to the supermarket. At the begin-ning of the day I said the magic words:“Thank you for the easy and joyful trip to thesupermarket.” I had no idea how a trip to thesupermarket could be easy and joyful, but Ifelt as much gratitude for that outcome as Icould.

The result of gratitude’s magical power wasthat I got a parking space right at the door. Ithen ran into two friends. One friend I hadn’tseen for a long time, and we got together forlunch after shopping. The second friend I ran



into told me about an amazing and inexpens-ive house cleaner, which was something Ihad been dreaming of having. As I did mysupermarket shopping, wherever I looked,what I needed was magically in front of myeyes; everything was in stock on the shelves;one item after another was on special; and asI approached the checkout after doing myshopping in record time, a new aisle opened,and the checkout person signaled me tothem. As the checkout person was puttingmy items through the register, out of theblue she asked, “Do you need any batteries?”It was the one item I had forgotten to buy!My trip to the supermarket was beyond easyand joyful – it was downright magical!

It only takes a few minutes in the morning touse gratitude to Have A Magical Day by



giving thanks for the events in your dayahead of time, but this one practice alonewill change the way your entire day unfolds.

To Have A Magical Day, when you wake upto the new day, either before you get out ofbed, or while you’re showering or gettingdressed, think about your plans for the day,and give thanks for each one going brilliantlywell. Make sure you do this magical practiceat the beginning of your day and in one ses-sion. In your mind, work your way throughthe plans you have for the morning, after-noon, and evening, until bedtime. With eachplan or event, say the magic words and ima-gine that you’re saying thank you at the endof the day, and you’re immensely grateful be-cause it did go brilliantly well.



You can use as many superlatives as you liketo help you feel more grateful. “Thank youfor the incredibly successful meeting.”“Thank you for the amazing outcome withthe phone call.” “Thank you for one of thebest days ever at work.” “Thank you for thethrilling sports game.” “Thank you for the ef-fortless and fun day of cleaning.” “Thank youfor the great night out with our friends.”“Thank you for the relaxing day of travel.”“Thank you for the amazing energy from myexercise session.” “Thank you for the bestfamily get-together we’ve ever had.”

This magical practice is more powerful if youcan say the magic words, thank you, out loudfor each experience, but if you’re not in a po-sition to say them out loud then it is fine tosay them in your mind.



After you’ve finished using gratitude’s magic-al power for every task and event in yourday, end the practice by saying, “And thankyou for the great news coming to me today!”Without fail, every single morning when Ifinish using gratitude to Have A MagicalDay, I give thanks for the great news comingto me that day. As a result, I’ve never re-ceived so much great news in my entire life.One week after another, one day after anoth-er, great news pours in! Each time I receiveanother piece of great news I am especiallygrateful and excited because I know I usedgratitude’s magical power to bring it, andthen even more great news continues tocome in. If you want to receive more greatnews than you ever have before, then justfollow in my footsteps.




Have a Magical Day


2. In the morning, work your way inyour mind through the plans youhave for the day and evening, untilbedtime. With each plan or event, saythe magic words, thank you, for ithaving gone well. Imagine that you’resaying thank you at the end of the



day, and you’re immensely gratefulbecause it went perfectly.

3. After you’ve finished being gratefulfor all the plans in your day goingbrilliantly well, end this magicalpractice by saying: And thank you forthe great news coming to me today!




Day 15

Magically Heal YourRelationships



If you have a difficult or broken relation-ship, are suffering from a broken heart, orhold any resentment or blame toward anoth-er person for anything, you can change it



through gratitude. Gratitude will magicallyimprove any difficult relationship, whetherthat person is a husband or wife, brother orsister, son or daughter, partner, boss, busi-ness client, work colleague, mother- orfather-in-law, parent, friend, or neighbor.

When we are faced with a difficult relation-ship or a challenging situation in a relation-ship, in almost all cases, we’re not in theleast bit grateful for the other person. In-stead, we’re busy blaming the other personfor the problems we have with them, andthat means we don’t have a shred of gratit-ude. Blame is never going to make a relation-ship better, and it’s never going to make yourlife better. In fact, the more you blame, theworse the relationship gets, and the worseyour life gets.



Whether it’s a current relationship or a pastrelationship, if you harbor bad feelings to-ward another person, practicing gratitudewill eliminate those feelings. Why would youwant to remove your bad feelings about an-other person?

“Holding on to anger is like grasping ahot coal with the intent of throwing it atsomeone else; you are the one who getsburned.”

Gautama Buddha (circa 563 BC–483 BC)FOUNDER OF BUDDHISM

Bad feelings about another person burnyour life, but gratitude will eliminate them!

For example, if you have an ex-partner whois connected to you through your children,



and the relationship isn’t good, look at yourchildren’s faces and realize that theywouldn’t be alive if it wasn’t for your ex-part-ner. Your children’s lives are one of the mostprecious gifts you have. Look at your chil-dren, and give thanks to your ex-partner fortheir lives every single day! As well as bring-ing peace and harmony to the relationship,through your example you will be teachingyour children the greatest tool for their life –gratitude.

Or, if you’re suffering from a broken heart orgrief due to a relationship having ended, youcan use gratitude’s magical power to trans-form your pain. Gratitude magically trans-forms emotional pain into healing and hap-piness faster than anything else, and the



story of my parents is a perfect example ofthat.

My mother and father fell in love with eachother virtually at first sight. From the mo-ment they met, they were truly grateful to bewith each other, and they had the most beau-tiful marriage I have ever seen.

When my father died, my mother under-standably suffered from enormous grief.After months of suffering, she began to usegratitude’s magical power, and despite herimmense grief and pain, she looked forthings to be grateful for. She began with thepast, and she recalled all the wonderful timesof happiness she had received through thedecades with my father. Then she took thenext big step, and she looked for things to begrateful for in the future. One by one she



found them. She found or rememberedthings she had always wanted to do butdidn’t have time to do when my father wasalive. And with this courageous step of grat-itude, opportunities to fulfill her dreams ma-gically poured in, and her life became richwith happiness again. The magical power ofgratitude gave my mother a new life.

For today’s magical practice you are going tolook for a hot coal that is burning your life,and literally turn it into gold through gratit-ude! Choose one difficult, problematic, orbroken relationship that you want to im-prove. It doesn’t matter whether the personis currently in your life, or if it’s a past rela-tionship and the person is no longer in yourlife.



Sit down and make a written list of tenthings you’re grateful for about the personyou’ve chosen. Think back through the his-tory of the relationship, and list the greatthings about the person or the great thingsyou received from the relationship. The easi-est way to do this is to think back to the waythings were before the relationship deterior-ated or ended. If the relationship was nevergood, then think hard about any good qualit-ies in the person because they are there.

This magical practice is not about who isright or wrong. No matter what you feelsomeone has done to you, no matter whatsomeone said or didn’t do, you can magicallyheal the relationship, and you don’t need theother person in order to heal it.



There is gold in every relationship, even thedifficult ones, and to bring riches to all yourrelationships and your life, you have to findthe gold. As you dig and discover a nugget ofgold, write it down, address the person byname, and express your sentence ingratitude:

Name , I’m grateful for what? .

1. Paul, I’m grateful for our time to-gether. While our marriage did end,I learned a lot, I am so much wisertoday, and I use what I learned fromour marriage in many of my rela-tionships today.

2. Paul, I’m grateful for everything youdid to try and make our marriage



work, because ten years of marriagemeans you did try.

3. Paul, I am grateful to you for ourchildren. The joy I receive from themevery day could not be without you.

4. Paul, I’m grateful to you for the hardwork and long hours you put in tosupport our family, while I was athome taking care of our children. Itwas a big responsibility to have allof us dependent on you, so thankyou.

5. Paul, I am grateful to you for theprecious moments I had with ourchildren as they grew up. I got to seeour children talk and walk for the



first time, and I know you didn’thave that opportunity.

6. Paul, I’m grateful for your supportwhen I went through a difficult timeof grief and loss.

7. Paul, I’m grateful to you for thetimes when I was sick, and you didyour best to take care of me and thechildren.

8. Paul, I’m grateful for the great timeswe had, and we did have many.

9. Paul, I’m grateful that you want tocontinue to be a father to ourchildren.

10. Paul, I’m grateful for your supportand the time you want to give to our



children. I know they mean as muchto you as they do to me.

By the time you’ve finished your gratitudelist of ten things, you should feel much betterabout the person and the relationship. Theultimate point you want to reach is whereyou don’t have any bad feelings toward theperson anymore, because it’s your life that isharmed by those feelings. Every relationshipis different, and if need be, you may chooseto repeat this magical practice over severaldays until you reach the point where youdon’t have any bad feelings toward the per-son anymore.

If you are using gratitude’s magical power toimprove a current relationship, you will seethe relationship begin to change miracu-lously before your eyes. It only takes one



person to magically change a relationshipthrough gratitude, but it is the person whouses gratitude who receives the benefits intheir whole life.

If you chose a past relationship, where youare not in contact with the person anymore,you will feel a peace and happiness fill you,and at the same time you will see other cur-rent relationships in your life magicallyimprove.

In the future, if a relationship becomes chal-lenging, remember to use this magical prac-tice immediately. You will stop the diffi-culties before they get any bigger, and in-stead you will increase the magic in therelationship!




Magically Heal YourRelationships

Magic and Miracles inHealth



“Miracles are not contrary to nature,but only contrary to what we knowabout nature.”



Saint Augustine (354–430)THEOLOGIAN AND CATHOLIC BISHOP

We should feel healthy, energized, and fullof happiness most of the time, because thatis how it feels to have our birthright of fullhealth. The reality, however, is that a lot ofpeople don’t feel this way very often, if ever.Many people are dealing with illnesses, prob-lems with the functioning of their body, orsuffering from bouts of depression and othermental health problems, which are all statesof less-than-full health.

Gratitude is one of the fastest ways I know tomagically begin experiencing the full state ofhealth you are meant to have in your bodyand mind. All the miracles of healing we seehappen are simply the result of full healthbeing restored instantly in the human body,



where before there was less than full andperfect health. If you don’t think gratitudecreates miracles in your health and body,then read some of the thousands of miraclestories on The Secret website:www.thesecret.tv/stories.

Gratitude’s magical power increases the nat-ural flow of health to the mind and body, andcan assist the body in healing more quickly,as countless studies have shown. The magic-al power of gratitude also works hand inhand with good bodily care, nutrition, andany medical assistance you might havechosen to follow.

When there is some kind of sickness or con-dition in your body, it is understandable thatyou may have negative feelings about it, likeworry, frustration, or fear. But having



negative feelings about sickness does not re-store health. In fact, it has the opposite effect– it reduces health even more. To increaseyour health, you need to replace the negativefeelings with good feelings, and gratitude isthe easiest way to do it.

Many people also have critical thoughts andfeelings of dissatisfaction about their physic-al appearance. Unfortunately those thoughtsand feelings also reduce the magical flow ofhealth. When there’s something you don’tlike about your body, you are not beinggrateful for your body. Think about it. By thelaw of attraction, complaints about yourbody bring more problems to complainabout, and so complaining about your bodyor appearance puts your very health at risk.



“Whoever does not have gratitude (fortheir health and their body), even what heor she has will be taken from him or her.”

“Whoever has gratitude (for their healthand their body) will be given more, and heor she will have an abundance (of health totheir body).”

You may be sick or unwell now, or even in alot of pain, but if you are reading these wordsyou are continuing to receive the gift ofhealth. It can be very difficult to access feel-ings of gratitude when sick or in pain, buteven the smallest bit of gratitude helps in-crease the magical flow of health to the body.

Today’s practice, Magic and Miracles inHealth, is designed to dramatically increaseyour health and happiness. And we’re going



to take a triple-pronged approach to acceler-ate the results.



Step 1: Health You’ve Received(past)

Think about the great health you have re-ceived throughout your childhood, adoles-cence, and adult life. Think about the timeswhen you felt full of energy, and you werehappy. Recollect three separate times in yourmind when you felt on top of the world, saythe magic words, thank you, and feel sinceregratitude for those times. If you think back tothe big moments in your life, you will be ableto recollect three separate times very easily.



Step 2: Health You’reContinuing to Receive(present)

Think about the health you are continuing toreceive today, and feel grateful for every or-gan, system, and physical sense that is cur-rently working well in your body. Thinkabout your arms, legs, hands, eyes, ears, liv-er, kidneys, brain, or heart. Choose five func-tions of your body that are well, and one byone, mentally say the magic words, thankyou, for each one.



Step 3: Health You Want toReceive (future)

You’re going to choose one thing you want toimprove about your body for today’s magicalpractice, but you are going to use gratitude’smagical power for it in a very particular way.Think about the ideal state of what you wantto improve. When you give thanks for theideal state of anything, you have put intomotion to receive back that ideal state.

Very often when a person is diagnosed withan illness or disease of some kind, they willnot only talk about it a lot, but they will re-search the disease, gathering informationabout its possible worsening symptoms anddreaded outcomes. In other words, they givetheir entire focus to the disease. However,



the law of attraction says that we can’t makea problem go away by focusing on it, becausefocusing on the problem can only make theproblem worse. Instead, we should do theexact opposite, and focus on the ideal statefor the area of our body that is unwell, andgive our thoughts and feelings to that. Gratit-ude for the ideal state of any part of our bodypowerfully uses our thoughts and feelings to-gether so we magnetize it to us – in one fellswoop!

Spend one minute in visualizing a scene ofyourself with the ideal state of your bodythat you want. And as you see your body inyour mind the way you want it to be, begrateful for it as though you have received it.

So, if you want to magically restore health toyour kidneys, be grateful for strong and



healthy kidneys that filter and sift out all thewaste products from your body. If you wantto magically restore health to your blood, begrateful for pure and healthy blood thatflows oxygen and nutrients to all parts ofyour body. If you want to magically restorehealth to your heart, give thanks for a strongand healthy heart that maintains the well-be-ing of every organ in your body.

If you want to magically improve your eye-sight, then give thanks for excellent vision. Ifyou want to improve your hearing, then givethanks for perfect hearing. If you want moreflexibility, then give thanks for a perfectlysupple and agile body. If you want to changeyour weight, first think about the idealweight that you want to be, then imagine



yourself at that ideal weight, and give thanksfor it as though you have received it now.

Whatever it is that you want to improve, firstimagine yourself with the ideal state, andthen be grateful for the ideal state as thoughyou have received it right now.

“Natural forces within us are the truehealers of disease.”

Hippocrates (circa 460–circa 370 BC)FATHER OF WESTERN MEDICINE

You can follow the Magic and Miracles inHealth practice every day if you need to, andyou can do it multiple times in a day if youreally want to accelerate the magical restora-tion of full health, or the improvement of anaspect of your body. But it is vital that



whenever you have a negative thought orfeeling about the current state of your bodyor health that you replace it immediately byvisualizing yourself with the ideal state youwant and by being truly grateful, as thoughyou have already received it.

The most effective way to guarantee health,other than taking good care of yourself phys-ically, is to continue to be grateful for yourhealth.




Magic and Miracles in Health


2. Recollect three separate timesthroughout your life when you felt ontop of the world, and give sincerethanks for those times.



3. Think about five functions of yourbody that are well, and one by onegive thanks for each one.

4. Choose one thing about your body orhealth you want to improve, andspend one minute visualizing your-self with the ideal state of your bodyor health. Then give thanks for thisideal state.




Day 17

The Magic Check



“In the magical universe there are nocoincidences and there are no acci-dents. Nothing happens unless someonewills it to happen.”



William S. Burroughs (1914–1997)WRITER AND POET

When you direct gratitude’s magical powertoward any negative condition, a new condi-tion is created, eliminating the old condition.That means that when you get yourself to theplace where you feel grateful for money morethan you feel a lack of money, a new condi-tion is created, eliminating the lack of moneyand magically replacing it with more money.

All bad feelings about money push moneyaway from you and reduce the amount ofmoney in your life, and every time you feelbad about money you reduce it a little more.If you have feelings about money like envy,disappointment, worry, or fear, you cannotreceive more. The law of attraction says thatlike attracts like, so if you feel disappointed



that you don’t have enough money, you willreceive more disappointing circumstances ofnot having enough money. If you are worriedabout money you will receive more worryingsituations about money. If you feel fearfulabout the state of your money, then you mustreceive more situations that will continue tomake you fearful about money.

However difficult it may be, you have to ig-nore your current situation and any lack ofmoney you may currently be experiencing,and gratitude is the guaranteed way for youto do that. You can’t be grateful for moneyand disappointed about money at the sametime. You can’t be thinking grateful thoughtsabout money and have worried thoughtsabout money at the same time. Nor can yoube grateful for money and have fearful



thoughts about money at the same time.When you’re grateful for money, not only doyou stop the negative thoughts and feelingsthat push money away from you, you’re do-ing the very thing that brings more money toyou!

You have already practiced gratitude for themoney you have received and continue to re-ceive. So, before you use gratitude’s magicalpower for the money you want, you need tounderstand the various ways and avenuesthat money or riches could come into yourlife. Because if you’re not grateful each timeyour riches or money increase, you will stopthe abundance from flowing to you.

Money can come to you through receiving anunexpected check, an increase in salary, alottery win, a tax refund, or an unanticipated



gift of money from someone. Your moneycan also increase when somebody else spon-taneously picks up the tab for coffee, lunch,or dinner, when you’re about to purchase anitem and you discover it has been discoun-ted, when there’s a money-back offer on apurchase, or when someone gives you a giftof something you needed to buy. The endresult of every one of these circumstances isthat you have more money! So whenever asituation arises, ask yourself: does this cir-cumstance mean that I have more money?Because if it does, you need to be very grate-ful for the money you’re receiving throughthat circumstance!

If you tell a friend you’re about to buy anitem and the friend offers to lend or give youthe very item because they don’t use it, or if



you’re planning to travel and you hear abouta discounted special that you end up taking,or if your lending institution lowers their in-terest rate, or a service provider offers you afar better package, your money magically in-creased through the saving of money. Areyou getting the idea of the unlimited situ-ations where you can receive money?

Most likely you’ve experienced some of thesesituations in the past, and whether you real-ized it or not at the time, they occurred be-cause you attracted them. But when gratit-ude is your way of life, you attract magicalsituations all the time! Many people call itgood luck, but it’s not luck at all; it’s Univer-sal law.

Any circumstance that results in you havingmore money or receiving something that cost



money is a result of your gratitude. You’llfeel great joy in knowing that you did it, andwhen you combine your joy with your gratit-ude, you have a real magnetic force that willkeep attracting more and more abundance.

When I arrived in the United States severalyears ago, I arrived with two suitcases. Iworked in a bare-bones apartment with mycomputer on my lap. I didn’t have a car, andso I mostly walked everywhere. But I wasgrateful for everything. I was grateful to be inthe United States, I was grateful for the workI was doing, I was grateful for the bare-bonesapartment with its four plates, four knives,four forks, and four spoons. I was gratefulthat I could walk to most places, and I wasgrateful that there was a taxi stand rightacross the street. Then something incredible



happened – a person I knew decided to giftto me a driver and a car for a few months.Other than my computer, I was living withthe most basic material things to survive,and then suddenly I had my own personaldriver and car! I was grateful, so I was givenmore. And that is exactly how the magic hap-pens with gratitude.

Today’s magical practice for the money youwant to receive has brought astounding res-ults to many people. At the end of this prac-tice you will find a blank Magic Check fromthe Gratitude Bank of the Universe, and youare going to write out the Magic Check toyourself. Fill in the amount of money youwant to receive, along with your name andtoday’s date. Choose a specific amount ofmoney for one thing you really want,



because you will be able to feel more gratit-ude for the money when you know whatyou’re going to spend the money on. Moneyis a means to what you want, but it’s not theend result, so if you just thought aboutmoney per se you wouldn’t be able to feel asmuch gratitude. When you imagine gettingthe things you really want, or doing thethings you really want to do, you will feel farmore gratitude than if you were just beinggrateful for money.

You can photocopy or scan the Magic Checkfrom the book. You can also get an abund-ance of blank Magic Checks from:www.thesecret.tv/magiccheck.

If you want you can start with a smalleramount on your first Magic Check, and afteryou receive the smaller amount, you can


http://www.thesecret.tv/magiccheck


keep increasing the amounts on your nextchecks. The benefit of starting with a smalleramount is that when you magically receive ityou will know that you did it, you will knowabsolutely that the magic of gratitudeworked, and the gratitude and joy you feelwill make bigger amounts believable to you.

Once you have filled in the details of the Ma-gic Check, hold the check in your hands andthink about the specific thing you want themoney for. Get a picture in your mind andvisualize yourself actually using the money toget the very thing that you want, and put asmuch excitement and gratitude into it as youcan.

Maybe you want the money for a new pair ofshoes, a computer, or a new bed, so pictureyourself actually buying what you want in a



store. If you would purchase what you wantonline, then picture yourself receiving thedelivery, so you feel excitement and gratit-ude. You might want the money to traveloverseas, or for your child’s college educa-tion, so imagine buying your airplane ticket,or opening a college bank account. And feelas happy and grateful as if you’ve really re-ceived it!

After you’ve completed these steps, take theMagic Check with you today, or put it in aplace where you will see it often. On at leasttwo more occasions during the day todaytake the Magic Check in your hands, pictureyourself actually using the money for whatyou wanted, and feel as grateful and excitedas you can, as though you are really doing it.If you want you can do it more times in the



day. As with any other magical practice, youcan’t do it too often.

At the end of today, either keep your MagicCheck where you had it, or put it in anotherprominent place where you will see it daily.You could put it on your bathroom mirror,your refrigerator, underneath your MagicRock, in your car or wallet, or on the back-ground of your computer. Any time you seeyour Magic Check, feel as though you’ve re-ceived the money, and be grateful that nowyou can have or do what you want.

When you have received the money on yourMagic Check, or if you receive the item youwanted to spend the money on in anothermagical way, replace the check with a newamount for something else that you really



want, and continue with the Magic Checkpractice as long as you want.

Day 18

The Magical To-DoList



“The world is full of magical thingswaiting for our wits to grow sharper.”



Eden Phillpotts (1862–1960)NOVELIST AND POET

Really, when you think about it, gratitudeis your best friend. It is always there for you,always available to help you, it will never failyou or let you down, and the more heavilyyou lean on it, the more it will do for you,and the more it will enrich your life. Today’smagical practice will show you how to leanon gratitude even more, so it can do far moremagical things for you.

Every day there are little life problems thatcome up and that need solving. Sometimeswe can feel overwhelmed if we don’t knowhow to solve a situation. Maybe your prob-lem is that you don’t have enough time for allthe things you need to do, and you’re at aloss because there are only twenty-four



hours in the day. It may be that you feeloverwhelmed from work, and you want morefree time, but you can’t see any way to haveit. You may be at home taking care of chil-dren, and you’re feeling frazzled or ex-hausted, but you don’t have the means to getsupport to give you time out. You may befaced with a problem that needs fixing, butyou have no idea which way to turn to fix it.You may have lost something and tried yourbest to locate it, but had no luck. Or youmight want to find something, like the per-fect pet, perfect babysitter, great hairdresser,or amazing dentist or doctor, and despiteyour best efforts, you haven’t been able tofind what you need. You could be in an un-comfortable situation because of somethinga person has asked you to do, and you don’tknow how to respond to them. Or you could



be in some kind of dispute with someone,and instead of getting it resolved, thingsseem to be getting worse.

This Magical To-Do List practice will helpyou with any little day-to-day problemswhen you don’t know what to do, or whenyou simply want something to be done foryou. You will be amazed at the results!

When you combine gratitude’s magicalpower with the law of attraction, people, cir-cumstances, and events must be rearrangedto do what you want done for you! You willnot know how it will happen, or how it willbe done for you, and that is not your job.Your job is simply to be as grateful as youcan be for what you want done right now, asthough it were done. And then let the magichappen!



Today, create a written to-do list of the mostimportant things you would like to be doneor resolved for you, and title your list TheMagical To-Do List. You might put things onyour list that you don’t have time to do, ordon’t want to do, along with any currentproblems, from the smallest day-to-daythings to bigger life situations. Thinkthrough any area of your life where you needsomething resolved or done for you.

When you’ve finished making your list,choose three things from your list to focus ontoday, and one at a time imagine that eachitem has been magically done for you. Ima-gine that all people, circumstances, andevents have been moved to do it for you, andit is now done! All done, all sorted, all solvedfor you, and you are giving massive thanks in



return for it having been done. Spend at leastone minute on each of your three items, be-lieving it is done, and feeling enormous grat-itude in return. You can follow the samepractice on the rest of the items on your listat another time, but there is power in simplyputting the things you want done on theMagical To-Do List.

Remember that the law of attraction says“like attracts like,” and that means that whenyou are grateful for the solutions as thoughyou have them, you will attract everythingyou need into your life to resolve the situ-ation. Focusing on problems attracts moreproblems. You have to be a magnet to thesolution, not a magnet to the problem. Beinggrateful that you have the solution, and thatit has been resolved, attracts the solution.



To demonstrate how powerful this magicalpractice is I want to share a story with youabout my daughter, who used this practice toattract her lost wallet back to her.

After being out one night, my daughter dis-covered the next morning that she did nothave her wallet, and she had no idea whereshe might have lost it, or even if it had beenstolen. She called the restaurant where shewent to dinner, the taxi company she used tocome home, the local police station, and shesearched the streets and knocked on sur-rounding doors. But no one had found herwallet.

Other than the fact that my daughter’s walletcontained the usual precious things in it, in-cluding all her bank and credit cards, driver’slicense, and cash, her biggest concern was



that her wallet contained no current contactinformation, because she had been overseasfor some time. She didn’t have a publicly lis-ted phone number, and with a common sur-name, there seemed to be no hope.

But despite the seemingly impossibleobstacles, my daughter sat down, closed hereyes, and got a picture of her wallet in hermind. She visualized that she was holdingher wallet in her hands; she opened her wal-let, she went through all its contents, and shefelt enormous gratitude that she had her wal-let and everything in it back and in herhands.

For the rest of the day, whenever she thoughtof it, again my daughter imagined she hadher wallet in her hands, and she felt



enormous elation and gratitude that her wal-let had been returned to her.

Later that night she received a call from afarmer who lived one hundred miles away,saying that he had found her wallet. The ex-traordinary part of this story is that thefarmer had found the wallet in the street out-side my daughter’s home in the early hoursof the morning, and he immediatelysearched the wallet looking for contact de-tails. He made several calls in trying to findits owner, but to no avail, and so he gave up,and drove back to his farm with the wallet.

But while he was walking out in the fields athis farm, the wallet kept nagging and nag-ging at him, and he decided to searchthrough it one last time. He found a smallpiece of paper with a man’s Christian name



written on it, and so he put the Christianname together with my daughter’s surname,and called directory assistance. There wasjust one listing for that Christian name andsurname. The farmer called the phone num-ber, and it was the home of my daughter’sfather. To this day we do not know how thefarmer got that phone number, because itwas an unlisted number! We called directoryassistance ourselves several times after thishappened, and the response every time was:“Sorry, there is no listing for that name.”

From one hundred miles away, through themost extraordinary sequence of seeminglyimpossible events, my daughter’s wallet wasreturned to her intact. She fulfilled her partin being grateful that she had her walletback, and as must happen, gratitude



performed its magic and moved every per-son, circumstance, and event to return herwallet to her.

The magical power of gratitude is availablefor you to use as well, and it always has been– you just had to discover it for yourself, andlearn how to use it!




The Magical To-Do List


2. Create a written list of the most im-portant things or problems you needdone or solved. Title your list TheMagical To-Do List.

3. Choose three of the most importantthings from your list, and one at a



time, imagine that each thing hasbeen done for you.

4. Spend at least one minute on eachthing, believing it is done, and feelingenormous gratitude in return.




Day 19

Magic Footsteps



“A hundred times every day I remindmyself that my inner and outer life de-pend on the labors of other men, livingand dead, and that I must exert myself



in order to give in the same measure asI have received and am still receiving.”

Albert Einstein (1879–1955)NOBEL PRIZE–WINNING PHYSICIST

With those words, Einstein gave us a giftequal to his scientific discoveries. He gave usone of the magical secrets to his success.Gratitude – every day!

Einstein is the inspiration behind today’smagical practice, and you are going to followin his footsteps to bring success to your life.Today, like Einstein, you will say thank youone hundred times, and you’re going to do itby taking one hundred Magic Footsteps.While it might seem unbelievable to you thattaking footsteps can make a difference toyour life, you will discover that it is one ofthe most powerful things you can do.



“God gave you a gift of 86,400 secondstoday. Have you used one to say ‘thankyou’?”

William A. Ward (1921–1994)WRITER

To take Magic Footsteps, you take one stepand in your mind say the magic words, thankyou, as your foot touches the ground, andthen again say thank you as your other foottouches the ground. One foot, thank you,next foot, thank you, and continue saying themagic words with every footstep.

The best thing about Magic Footsteps is thatyou can take any number of Magic Footstepsanywhere and at any time; through yourhouse from one room to another, walking toget your lunch or coffee, taking the trash out,walking to a business meeting, on your way



to catch a cab, train, or bus. You can takeMagic Footsteps on your way to anythingthat is important to you, like exams, a date, ajob interview, an audition, to meet a client,to the bank, ATM, dentist, doctor, hairdress-er, to see your team play in a sports game,down corridors, through airport terminals,in parks, or from one block to another.

I take Magic Footsteps around my home,from my bed to my bathroom, kitchen to mybedroom, and outside to my car and themailbox. Whenever I walk down a street, orwalk anywhere, I choose a point as my des-tination, and I put gratitude in my footstepsall the way.

If you take notice of how you’re feeling be-fore you begin, then you will notice a big dif-ference in how you feel after you’ve taken



Magic Footsteps. It doesn’t matter if youcan’t get much of a feeling of gratitude whileyou’re taking them; I promise you will stillfeel happier afterward. If you’re feelingdown, Magic Footsteps will make you feelbetter, and even if you’re feeling great, MagicFootsteps will lift your spirits even higher!

To take the most effective Magic Footsteps,take Magic Footsteps for about ninetyseconds; this is how long it will take the aver-age person to take one hundred steps at aleisurely pace. This practice is not about tak-ing one hundred steps exactly, but taking atleast that number of steps, because it willprobably take that number of footsteps tomake a difference to the way you feel. Onceyou’re clear on the approximate distance youcan take your one hundred steps of gratitude



any time during the day. Don’t count thefootsteps when you’re doing the practice, be-cause you’ll be counting instead of sayingthank you, the magic words, with each step.

When you have completed today’s magicalpractice you will have said the magic words,thank you, one hundred times! How manydays of your life have you said thank you onehundred times?

And Einstein did it every day!




Magic Footsteps


2. Take one hundred Magic Footsteps(for about ninety seconds) in gratit-ude any time during the day.

3. With each footstep, say and feel themagic words, thank you.

Heart Magic



“Gratitude is the memory of the heart.”

Jean-Baptiste Massieu (1743–1818)FRENCH REVOLUTION ACTIVIST



You might have figured out by now thatwith any magical practice of gratitude theaim is always to feel it as much as you can.This is because when you increase the feelingof gratitude on the inside, the things youhave to be grateful for in the outside worldincrease too.

Eventually, after practicing gratitude for along period of time, you will automaticallyfeel it deeply in your heart. However, today’smagical practice will collapse the time itwould normally take for you to reach thatlevel.

The Heart Magic practice is designed topowerfully increase the depths that you feelgratitude, by focusing your mind on the areaof your heart as you say and feel the magicwords, thank you. Scientific research has



shown that by focusing on your heart as youfeel gratitude, the rhythm of your heart im-mediately becomes much more even andharmonious, resulting in major improve-ments to your immune system and health.That gives you an idea of the power of HeartMagic. It takes a little practice the first timeyou try it, but it is worth the effort. After afew times you will get it, and each time youpractice it your feeling of gratitude will in-crease exponentially.

To practice Heart Magic, focus your mindand your attention on the area around yourheart. It doesn’t matter if you focus on theinside or the outside of your body. Close youreyes, because it will make it easier, and whilekeeping your mind focused on your heart,mentally say the magic words, thank you.



Once you’ve practiced it a few times, youwon’t need to close your eyes anymore, butas a general rule, you will feel more gratitudewhen you close your eyes.

There are several things you can do to helpyou get Heart Magic down really quickly.You can put your right hand on the areaaround your heart to keep your mind focusedthere while you say the magic words, thankyou. Or you can imagine that the magicwords, thank you, are coming out of yourheart rather than your mind as you say them.

As part of today’s magical practice, take yourTop Ten Desire List and practice Heart Ma-gic on each desire. Read each desire in yourmind or out loud, and when you get to theend of reading each one, close your eyes, fo-cus your mind on the area around your



heart, keep your mind on your heart area,and say the magic words again, thank you,slowly. Again, you can use the tips I’ve givenabove if it helps you. After you have finishedHeart Magic on each of your desires, you willhave not only increased the depth of gratit-ude you are able to reach, you will also havedramatically increased your gratitude foryour top desires.

You can continue to practice Heart Magic onyour desires regularly if you want to speedup the receiving of them, or you can useHeart Magic any time you say the magicwords, thank you. Even just using Heart Ma-gic a couple of times a day will have a big ef-fect on your happiness and on the magic inyour life.



Once you have practiced Heart Magic a fewtimes you will feel a huge increase in thedepth of your feeling, and with gratitude it’sall about the depth of the feeling, because thedeeper the feeling the greater the abundanceyou will receive. The initial physical signsthat you’ve increased the depth of your feel-ing could be that you get a tingling feelingaround your heart, or feel a wave of joy rushthrough your body. Your eyes may fill withtears, or you may get goose bumps. Butwithout exception, you will begin to feel adepth of peace and happiness you’ve neverfelt before!

Day 21

MagnificentOutcomes



“You say grace before meals. All right.But I say grace before the concert andthe opera, and grace before the playand pantomime, and grace before I



open a book, and grace before sketch-ing, painting, swimming, fencing, box-ing, walking, playing, dancing andgrace before I dip the pen in the ink.”

G. K. Chesterton (1874–1936)WRITER

We all want good outcomes to everythingwe do. In giving thanks before he performedan action, the writer Gilbert Keith Chester-ton used the magic of gratitude to guaranteethe outcome he wanted.

You will have had times when you thought toyourself, “I hope this goes well,” or, “I hopethis turns out okay,” or, “I’m going to need alot of luck.” All these thoughts are hoping fora good outcome to a situation. But lifedoesn’t happen by chance or because of astroke of luck. The laws of the Universe



operate mathematically to the finest possibledegree; that is something you can count on!

A pilot doesn’t hope that the laws of physicswill keep working during his flight, becausehe knows the laws of physics will never fail.You don’t go into your day and hope that thelaw of gravity will keep you on the ground soyou don’t float off into space. You knowthere’s no chance at play, and gravity’s lawwill never fail.

If you want Magnificent Outcomes toeverything you do, then you have to use thelaw that governs outcomes – the law of at-traction. That means you have to use yourthoughts and feelings to attract MagnificentOutcomes to you, and being grateful forMagnificent Outcomes is one of the simplestways to do it.



The Magnificent Outcomes practice is beinggrateful before you do something you wantto go well. You could be grateful for the mag-nificent outcome to the work meeting, job in-terview, or exam, the magnificent outcome tothe sports game, phone call, catch-up with afriend, or seeing your mother-in-law. Youcould be grateful for the magnificent out-come to your exercise routine, your pet’s vetappointment, or your medical or dentalcheckup. You could be grateful for the mag-nificent outcome when an electrician,plumber, or any tradesperson is addressing aproblem in your home, the magnificent out-come to a family outing, conversation withyour child about their behavior, or heart toheart with your partner. You could be grate-ful for the magnificent outcome to a pur-chase you will be making, such as a birthday



gift, engagement ring, or wedding dress, orthe magnificent outcome to choosing a newcell phone, new carpet, drapes, or renovationcompany. You could be grateful for the mag-nificent outcome for a reservation at a res-taurant, or great seats for a concert, the mag-nificent outcome to your daily mail, yourdaily emails, or your tax refund for the year.

If it helps you to believe in the magical powerof gratitude to create Magnificent Outcomes,you can wave your fingers through the airand imagine you’re sprinkling magic dustover the event you want to turn outmagnificently!

Another time to use gratitude for Magnifi-cent Outcomes is when something unexpec-ted happens during your day. Whensomething unexpected happens, very often



we can jump to conclusions and immediatelythink there’s something wrong. For example,you arrive at work and are told that the bosswants to see you right away. The problemwith jumping to conclusions and thinkingthere’s something wrong is that the law of at-traction says that what you think and feelyou will attract to you. So instead of jumpingto conclusions and thinking you might be introuble, take the opportunity to make themagic happen by being grateful for a magni-ficent outcome.

If you miss your bus or train on your way towork, or miss a flight, or are unexpectedlydelayed, instead of thinking, “This is bad,” begrateful for the magnificent outcome so thatyou put the magic into motion to receive amagnificent outcome.



If you’re a parent and you’re asked to attendan unexpected meeting at school about yourchild, instead of thinking there’s a problem,be grateful for the magnificent outcome. Ifyou receive an unexpected phone call, email,or letter, and the thought flashes into yourmind, “I wonder what’s wrong,” immediatelybe grateful for the magnificent outcome, be-fore you pick up the call, or open the emailor letter.

Most of the time you will see and experiencethe magnificent outcome you asked for, andoccasionally you won’t even know how youbenefited from an unexpected event. Butwhen you ask for a magnificent outcome andfeel sincerely grateful for it, you are using themathematical law of attraction, and you



must receive a magnificent outcome back,somewhere, at some time. Guaranteed!

Whenever you find yourself thinking there’schance at play with something in your life, orthinking you have no control oversomething, or when you find yourself hopingsomething will turn out well, remember thatthere’s no chance for the law of attraction –you will get what you’re thinking and feeling.Gratitude helps protect you from attractingwhat you don’t want – bad outcomes – and itensures you get what you do want – Magnifi-cent Outcomes!

When you are grateful for Magnificent Out-comes, you are using Universal law, andchanging hopes and chance into faith andcertainty. When gratitude becomes your wayof life, you automatically go into everything



you do with gratitude, knowing that the ma-gic of gratitude will produce a magnificentoutcome.

The more you practice Magnificent Out-comes, and make it a daily habit, the moreMagnificent Outcomes you will attract intoyour life. Less and less you will find yourselfin situations that you don’t want to be in.You won’t find yourself in the wrong place atthe wrong time. And no matter what hap-pens in your day, you will know with abso-lute certainty that the outcome will bemagnificent.

At the beginning of today, choose three sep-arate situations where you would like Magni-ficent Outcomes. You can choose threethings that are important to you in your lifecurrently, such as a job interview coming up,



an application for a loan, an exam, or a doc-tor’s appointment. You can also start by se-lecting three things that are normally hum-drum activities for you, because when themagic happens to those humdrum activitiesyou will be really convinced that you attrac-ted the magnificent outcome! For example,you could choose your drive to work, doingthe ironing, going to the bank or post office,picking up the kids, paying the bills, or col-lecting the mail.

Make a written list of the three situationsyou’ve chosen for Magnificent Outcomes.Use gratitude’s magical power, and as youwrite each one imagine that you’re writingabout each one after it has happened:

Thank you for the magnificent outcome to!



For the second step of this magical practice,you are going to choose three unexpectedthings that arise today and use the magicalpower of gratitude for their Magnificent Out-comes as well. You could do this practice be-fore you take three phone calls, or before youopen three emails or three letters in the mail,before you do an unexpected errand, or any-thing else unexpected that comes up in theday. This part of the practice is not so muchabout what unexpected events you choose asit is about you practicing gratitude for Mag-nificent Outcomes on the little unexpectedthings. Each time an unexpected eventarises, close your eyes briefly if you can, andmentally say and feel the magic words:

Thank you for the magnificent outcome to!



You can’t do this magical practice too much,because the more you practice it, the moreMagnificent Outcomes you will have in yourlife as a matter of course. But practicing ittoday will get you into the idea of it, and inthe future, if you ever find yourself in a situ-ation where you’re hoping for a good out-come or thinking you need luck, you will im-mediately turn to the magical power of grat-itude, and make Magnificent Outcomes acertainty in your life!




Magnificent Outcomes


2. At the beginning of the day, choosethree things or situations that areimportant to you where you wantMagnificent Outcomes.

3. List your three things, and write eachone as though you are writing after it



has happened: Thank you for themagnificent outcome to !

4. As you go through your day, choosethree unexpected events that comeup in your day where you can begrateful for a magnificent outcome.Each time, close your eyes and men-tally say and feel: Thank you for themagnificent outcome to !




Day 22

Before Your Very Eyes



“This world, after all our science andsciences, is still a miracle; wonderful,inscrutable, magical, and more to who-soever will think of it.”



Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)WRITER AND HISTORIAN

Seven years ago, when I first discoveredThe Secret and the magical power of gratit-ude, I made a list of all of my desires. It wasa long list! At that time, there seemed to beno possible way my desires could come true.Nevertheless, I took my top ten desires and Icarried them with me on a piece of paperevery day. Whenever I had an opportunity, Iwould take out my list and read through it,giving as much gratitude for each desire as Icould, as though I had received it. With mynumber one desire, the desire I wanted morethan anything else, I kept it constantly in mymind, and I would say the magic words,thank you, for it multiple times in a day, andfeel as if it had come true. One by one everydesire on my list magically appeared before



my very eyes. As I received my desires Iwould cross them off my list, and when I hadnew desires I would add them to my list.

One of my desires from my original long listwas to travel to Bora Bora near Tahiti. Afterspending a beautiful week at the exact placein Bora Bora I had listed, another beautifulthing happened. I was flying to the mainlandof Tahiti on my way home when the airplanestopped en route to pick up passengers. Theflight had been empty, but it filled to thebrim with native Tahitians, and suddenlylaughter, smiling faces, and a happiness thatwas palpable surrounded me.

As I enjoyed the short flight with these beau-tiful people, it became crystal clear to me thereason why they were so happy. They weregrateful! They were grateful to be alive, they



were grateful to be on the airplane, they weregrateful to be with each other, they weregrateful for where they were going – theywere grateful for everything! I could havestayed on that plane and traveled around theworld with them, it felt so good to be withthem. And then it struck me that I had justreceived my final desire; Bora Bora was thelast desire on my original long list, and thereason I was on that plane was before myvery eyes – gratitude!

I’ve shared this story as an inspiration foryou, because no matter how big your desiresseem to be, you can receive them throughgratitude. Even more than that, gratitudewill bring a joy and happiness for life thatyou’ve never felt before, and that is trulypriceless.



From the time I began using gratitude andthe law of attraction to the time I receivedmy final desire on my original list was fouryears. To give you an idea of the enormous-ness of receiving all my desires in thatamount of time, when I created my desirelist, my company was two million dollars indebt, and I had two months before I wouldbe forced to shut it down and would lose myhome and everything I owned. The money Iowed on my personal credit cards was asmall fortune, and yet on my desire list wasto own a big house overlooking the ocean, totravel to exotic places in the world, to havepaid all my debts, to expand my company, torestore every relationship to the best it couldbe, improve the quality of my family’s lives,to be one hundred percent healthy again,and have unlimited energy and excitement



for life, along with the usual list of materialthings. And my number one desire, whichseemed like an absolute impossibility tomany of the people around me, was to bringjoy to millions of people through my work.

The very first desire that I received wasbringing joy to millions of people throughmy work. The rest of my desires magicallyfollowed, and one by one, as they appearedbefore my very eyes, I crossed them off mylist.

So now it’s your turn to use gratitude’s ma-gical power to make your desires appear be-fore your very eyes. At the start of the day,take your Top Ten Desire List that you cre-ated. Read through each sentence and desireon your list, and for one minute imagine orvisualize that you have received your desire.



Feel as much gratitude as you can, as if youhave it now.

Carry your desire list with you today in yourpocket. On at least two occasions in the day,take out your list, read through it, and feel asmuch gratitude for each one as you can, asthough you’ve received it.

If you want your desires to come morequickly, I would highly recommend that youcarry your desire list with you in your walletor purse from this day forward, and whenev-er you have time, open it up, read through it,and feel as much gratitude as you can foreach one. When your desires appear beforeyour very eyes, cross them off your list, andadd more. And if you’re like me, each timeyou cross a desire off your list you will be intears of joy, because what seemed impossible



was made possible through the magicalpower of gratitude.






2. At the start of the day, take your TopTen Desire List that you created.

3. Read through each sentence and de-sire on your list, and and for oneminute imagine or visualize that you



have received your desire. Feel asmuch gratitude as you can.

4. Carry your desire list with you todayin your pocket. On at least two occa-sions in the day, take out your list,read through it, and feel as muchgratitude as you can.




Day 23

The Magical Air thatYou Breathe



“It is quite possible to leave your homefor a walk in the early morning air andreturn a different person – beguiled,enchanted.”



Mary Ellen Chase (1887–1973)EDUCATOR AND WRITER

If someone had told me a few years back tobe grateful for the air that I breathe, I wouldhave thought the person was crazy. Itwouldn’t have made a bit of sense to me; whyon earth would anyone be grateful for the airthey breathe?

But as my life changed from using gratitude,the things that I took for granted or didn’tgive a second thought about became an abso-lute miracle to me. I went from sweating thesmall stuff in my little world and day-to-daylife, to opening my eyes and thinking aboutthe bigger picture and wonder of theUniverse.

As the great scientist Newton said, “When Ilook at the solar system, I see the Earth at



the right distance from the sun to receive theproper amounts of heat and light. This didnot happen by chance.”

Those words made me think more and moreabout the bigger picture. It’s not an accidentthat there’s a protective atmosphere sur-rounding us, and that beyond it there’s no airor oxygen. It’s not an accident that the treesgive off oxygen so that our atmosphere iscontinually replenished. It's not an accidentthat our solar system is perfectly placed, andthat if it were anywhere else in the galaxy wewould most likely be devastated by cosmicradiation. There are thousands of paramet-ers and ratios that support life on Earth; allof them are on a knife-edge, and their fine-tuning is so critical that a fraction of a differ-ence in any of these parameters and ratios



would make life unlivable on planet Earth. Itis difficult to believe any of these thingscould have happened by accident. It wouldseem that they are perfectly designed, per-fectly placed, perfectly balanced, for us!

When the realization hits you that all ofthese things might not be an accident, andthat the balance of every microscopic ele-ment surrounding Earth and on Earth is inperfect harmony to support us, you will feelan overwhelming sense of gratitude for life,because all of it has been done to sustainyou!

The magical air that you breathe is not an ac-cident or a fluke of nature. When you thinkabout the enormousness of what had to takeplace in the Universe for us to have air, andyou then take a breath, breathing air into



your body becomes breathtaking in everysense of the word!

We take one breath after another and nevergive a thought to the fact that there is alwaysair for us to breathe. Yet oxygen is one of themost plentiful elements in our body, and aswe breathe, it feeds every cell in our body sothat we can continue to live. The most pre-cious gift of our life is air, because without it,none of us would last more than a fewminutes.

When I first began to use gratitude’s magicalpower, I used it for a lot of personal thingsthat I wanted. And it worked. But it waswhen I began to be grateful for the real giftsin life, that I experienced the ultimate powerof gratitude. The more grateful I became fora sunset, a tree, the ocean, the dew on the



grass, my life, and the people in it, every ma-terial thing I’ve ever dreamed of havingpoured down upon me. I now understand thereason why it happened that way. When wecan feel truly grateful for the precious gifts oflife and nature, like the magical air that webreathe, we have reached one of the deepestpossible levels of gratitude. And whoever hasthat depth of gratitude will receive absoluteabundance.

Today, stop and think about the glorious airthat you breathe. Take five deliberatebreaths, and feel the feeling of the air movinginside your body, and feel the joy of breath-ing it out. Take five full breaths in and outfive different times today, and after you havetaken each set of five breaths, say the magicwords, “Thank you for the magical air that I



breathe,” and be as genuinely grateful as youcan for the precious, life-giving air that youbreathe!

It is best if you can do this magical practiceoutside so you can really feel and appreciatethe magnificence of fresh air, but if that’s notpossible then do it inside. You can close youreyes while taking the breaths, or you can doit with your eyes open. You can do it whileyou’re walking, waiting in line, shopping, oranywhere at any time you want. The import-ant thing is to deliberately feel the feeling ofthe air going in and out of your body.Breathe the way you naturally breathe, be-cause this magical practice is not about yourbreathing, but about your gratitude for theair you breathe. If taking a bigger breathhelps you to feel more gratitude, then do



that. If it helps to make a sound or mentallysay the magic words, thank you, as youbreathe the air out, then do that. If you wantyou can also do a variation of this practice inthe future, by imagining you’re breathing ingratitude and filling yourself up with it withevery breath you take.

In ancient teachings it is said that when aperson reaches the point of being deeplygrateful for the air that they breathe, theirgratitude will have reached a new level ofpower, and they will have become the truealchemist, who can effortlessly turn everypart of their life into gold!




The Magical Air That YouBreathe


2. Five times today, stop and thinkabout the glorious air that youbreathe. Take five deliberatebreaths, and feel the feeling of the air



moving inside your body, and feel thejoy of breathing it out.

3. After you have taken the five breaths,say the magic words: Thank you forthe magical air that I breathe. Be asgrateful as you can for the precious,life-giving air that you breathe.




Day 24

The Magic Wand



Have you ever wished you had a magicwand so that you could just wave your wandand help the people you love? Well, today’s



magical practice will show you how you canuse life’s real Magic Wand to help others!

When you fervently want to help anotherperson you have immense power, but whenyou direct that power with gratitude, youreally do have a Magic Wand that can helpthe people you care about.

Energy flows where your attention goes, andso when you direct the energy of gratitudetoward another person’s needs, that’s wherethe energy goes. This is the very reason whyJesus said thank you before he performed amiracle. Gratitude is an invisible but realforce of energy, and coupled with the energyof your desire it is just like having a MagicWand.



“People who wait for a magic wand failto see that they ARE the magic wand.”

Thomas Leonard (1955–2003)PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT COACH

If you have a family member, friend, or any-one you care about who is lacking physicalhealth, in financial trouble, unhappy in theirwork, stressed, suffering because a relation-ship has ended, lost confidence in him orherself, suffering from mental problems, orfeeling down about their life, you can use theinvisible force of gratitude to help them withtheir health, wealth, and happiness.

To wave your Magic Wand for another’shealth, imagine that the person’s health hasbeen fully restored, and say the magic words,thank you, in heartfelt celebration of receiv-ing the news that he or she is full of health



again. You could imagine the person callingyou to give you the news, or imagine themtelling you in person, and really see and feelyour reaction. When you can feel as gratefulnow as you would when you heard the newsthat the person’s health had been fully re-stored, it will guarantee that the gratitudeyou feel is as sincere and as powerful as itcan be.

To wave your Magic Wand to help someoneyou love with their wealth, follow the samemagical practice, and be as grateful as if theyhad the wealth they needed right now. Ima-gine their wealth has been fully restored, it isdone, and you’re saying the magic words,thank you, because you’ve just received theamazing news.



If a person you know is going through atough time, but you don’t know what spe-cifically they need, or if they need help inmore than one area, then you can follow thesame magical practice and wave your MagicWand by giving thanks for their happiness,or for their health, wealth, and happinesstogether.

Today, choose three people you care aboutwho are currently in need of health, wealth,or happiness, or all three. Get a photographof each person if you have one, and keep thephotographs in front of you while doing thispractice.

Take the first person, hold their photographin your hand, then close your eyes and forone minute visualize yourself receiving thenews that the person has been fully restored



with whatever they need. It is much easier tovisualize yourself receiving the news than itis to visualize, for example, an ill personhealthy again, or a depressed person happyagain, or a financially stressed personabundant again. And you will feel more ex-citement and gratitude if you involve your-self in your visualization.

Open your eyes, and with the photographstill in your hand, say the magic words,thank you, slowly three times, for that per-son’s health, wealth, or happiness, orwhatever combination they need:

Thank you, thank you, thank you forName’s health, wealth, or happiness.

As you finish with one person, move on tothe next person, and follow the same two



steps until you’ve finished the Magic Wandpractice by sending health, wealth, or happi-ness to all three people.

You can also use this powerful practice whenyou’re walking down the street or goingabout your day and you come acrosssomeone who is obviously lacking happiness,health, or wealth. Imagine you have a MagicWand, and in your mind wave it by givingheartfelt thanks for their wealth, health, andhappiness, and know that you have set a realforce of energy into motion.

Using gratitude to help someone else withhis or her health, wealth, and happiness isthe single greatest act of gratitude you canperform. And one of the magical thingsabout it is that the health, wealth, and



happiness you fervently wish for others, youalso bring to yourself.




The Magic Wand


2. Choose three people who you careabout and who you would like to helpwith more health, wealth, happiness,or all three.

3. If you have them, collect a photo-graph of each of the three people, and



keep it in front of you while doing theMagic Wand practice.

4. Take one person at a time, and holdtheir photograph in your hand. Closeyour eyes and for one minute visual-ize the person’s health, wealth, orhappiness has been fully restored,and you’re receiving the news.

5. Open your eyes, and with the photo-graph still in your hand, say the ma-gic words slowly: “Thank you, thankyou, thank you for Name’shealth, wealth, or happiness.”

6. As you finish with one person, moveon to the next person, and follow thesame two steps until you’ve finished



the Magic Wand practice for all threepeople.




Day 25

Cue The Magic



“Life is playfulness . . . We need to playso that we can rediscover the magic allaround us.”



Flora Colao (b. 1954)WRITER AND THERAPIST

Today’s practice, Cue The Magic, is one ofmy favorite practices, because it’s a game youplay with the Universe, and it’s a lot of fun!

Imagine that the Universe is friendly andcaring, and that it wants you to haveeverything you want in life. Because the Uni-verse can’t just walk up and hand you whatyou want, it uses the law of attraction to giveyou signs and cues to help you receive yourdreams. The Universe knows you have to feelgratitude to bring forth your dreams, so itplays its part in the game by giving you per-sonal cues to remind you to be grateful. Ituses the people, circumstances, and eventsthat surround you in your day as your magiccues to be grateful. It works like this:



If you hear an ambulance siren, the magiccue from the Universe is to be grateful forperfect health. If you see a police car, yourmagic cue is to be grateful for safety and se-curity. If you see someone reading a newspa-per, it’s your magic cue to be thankful forgreat news.

If you want to change the weight of yourbody, when you see another person withyour perfect weight, it’s your magic cue fromthe Universe to be thankful for your perfectweight. If you want a romantic partner, whenyou see a couple madly in love it’s your ma-gic cue to be grateful for the perfect partner.If you want to have a family, when you seebabies and children, take the magic cue andbe grateful for children. When you pass byyour bank, or an ATM, it’s your magic cue to



be grateful for plenty of money. When youarrive home, it’s your magic cue to be grate-ful for your home, and when a neighbor callsin to have a cup of coffee, or you wave tothem across the street, it’s your magic cue tobe grateful for your neighbors.

If you happen to see one of your material de-sires on your list, such as your dream house,car, motorcycle, shoes, or computer, ofcourse it’s your magic cue from the Universeto be grateful for your desire now!

When you begin a new day, and someonesays, “Good morning,” you’re being given amagic cue to be grateful for the good morn-ing. If you come across someone who isreally happy, it’s your magic cue to be grate-ful for happiness. And if you overhear anoth-er person saying thank you, anywhere at



anytime, it’s your magic cue to say thankyou!

There are unlimited and creative ways theUniverse has to magically cue you to begrateful in your day-to-day activities. Youcan never misunderstand a magic cue or geta cue wrong, because whatever you think acue is for, you’re right! The Universe uses thelaw of attraction to magically cue you, and soyou always attract the exact cues that youneed to be grateful for in that moment.

Cue The Magic has become a daily game Iplay, and with practice, I now automaticallysee all the magic cues the Universe gives me,and I give thanks for every one of them. Itnever ceases to thrill and amaze me how theUniverse finds new ways to cue me to set themagic of gratitude into motion!



When I receive a phone call from a friend orfamily member, it’s a cue to be grateful forhim or her. When someone says, “Isn’t it abeautiful day,” it’s a cue to be grateful for thebeautiful weather where I live, and for an-other beautiful day. If an appliance breaksdown, it’s a cue to be grateful for all my ap-pliances that are working perfectly. If a plantin my garden is struggling, it’s a cue to begrateful for all the healthy plants in mygarden. When I collect the mail, it’s a cue tobe grateful for the mail service, and for unex-pected checks. When someone says theyhave to go to an ATM, or I see people in lineat an ATM, it’s a cue to be grateful formoney. If a person I know comes down witha sickness, it’s a cue to be grateful for theirhealth and mine. When I open my curtainsin the morning and see the new day, it’s a



cue to be grateful for the great day ahead.And when I close my curtains at night, it’s acue to be grateful for the great day that I had.

To play Cue The Magic today, all you have todo is be alert enough to take seven magiccues from the Universe during the day, andgive thanks for each one of them. For ex-ample, if you see someone with your perfectweight, say, “Thank you for my perfectweight!” You can never do too much gratit-ude, so you can choose to do more, and if youwant, you can even try to respond to as manymagic cues in one day as you can. If you’vebeen following the daily magical practicesover the last 24 days, you will have reached apoint by now where you will be alert enoughto notice the cues the Universe is always giv-ing to you. One of the many benefits of



gratitude’s magical power is that it wakesyou up, and makes you far more alert andaware. And the more alert and aware you be-come, the more grateful you become, and themore easily you attract your dreams. So,Universe – cue the magic!




Cue The Magic


2. Today, be alert to what’s around you,and take at least seven gratitudecues from the events in your day. Forexample, if you see someone withyour perfect weight, say, “Thank youfor my perfect weight!”



Day 26

Magically TransformMistakes intoBlessings



“Turn your wounds into wisdom.”

Oprah Winfrey (B. 1954)MEDIA PERSONALITY AND BUSINESSWOMAN



Every single mistake is a blessing in dis-guise. Today’s magical practice will prove it,because you’re about to discover that thereare actually untold blessings hidden withinevery mistake!

A child makes many mistakes while learninghow to ride a bike or write, and we don’t giveit a second thought because we know thatthrough their mistakes they will learn andeventually master what they’re trying to do.So why is it that adults are so hard on them-selves when they make a mistake? The samerule that applies to children also applies toyou. We all make mistakes, and if we didn’tmake them we’d never learn anything, andwe wouldn’t grow any smarter or any wiser.

We have the freedom to make our ownchoices, and that means we have the freedom



to make mistakes. Mistakes can hurt, but ifwe don’t learn from the mistake we’ve made,the pain we’ve suffered from it has been fornothing. In fact, by the law of attraction, wewill make the same mistake over and overagain, until the consequences hurt us somuch that we finally learn from it! It’s thevery reason why mistakes hurt, so that we dolearn from them and don’t make themrepeatedly.

To learn from a mistake, we first have to ownit, and this is where many people can becomeundone, because they often blame someoneelse for their mistake.

Let’s consider the scenario of being pulledover by the police for speeding and being giv-en a speeding ticket. Instead of taking re-sponsibility for the fact that we were



speeding, we blame the police because theywere hiding in the bushes on the highwayaround a bend, we couldn’t see them, theyhad a radar gun, and so we didn’t stand achance. But the mistake was ours, becausewe were the one who chose to speed.

The problem with blaming other people forour mistake is that we will still suffer thepain and consequences of our mistake, butwe didn’t learn from it, and so bingo! We’llattract making the same mistake again.

You are human, you will make mistakes, andit’s one of the most beautiful things about be-ing human, but you must learn from yourmistakes, otherwise your life will have a lotof unnecessary pain.



How do you learn from a mistake?Gratitude!

No matter how bad something may seem,there are always, always, many things to begrateful for. When you look for as manythings as you can to be grateful for in a mis-take, you magically transform the mistakeinto blessings. Mistakes attract more mis-takes, and blessings attract more blessings –which would you prefer?

Today, think about a mistake you have madein your life. It doesn’t matter whether it wasa big or small mistake, but choose one thatstill hurts when you think about it. Maybeyou lost your temper with a person close toyou and the relationship hasn’t been thesame since. Maybe you put blind faith in an-other person and got burned. Maybe you told



a white lie to protect someone, and becauseof it you ended up in a difficult situation. Youmight have chosen the cheaper option onsomething, and it all went wrong and endedup costing you a whole lot more. You mighthave thought you were making the right de-cision about something, but it completelybackfired on you.

Once you’ve chosen a mistake to magicallytransform into blessings, look for the thingsto be grateful for. To help you, there are twoquestions you can ask yourself:

What did I learn from the mistake?

What are the good things that came out ofthe mistake?



The most important things to be grateful forabout every mistake are the things youlearned from it. And no matter what the mis-take, there are always many good things thatcame out of it and altered your future for thebetter. Think this through very carefully, andsee if you can find a total of ten blessings tobe grateful for. Every blessing you find hasmagical power. Write out your list in a gratit-ude journal or type them on a computer.

Let’s take the example of being caughtspeeding by a police car and receiving a fine:

1. I’m grateful to the police for wantingto protect me from harming myself,because after all, that was all theywere trying to do.



2. I’m grateful to the police because if Iam honest with myself, I was think-ing about other things, and I wasn’tconcentrating on the road.

3. I’m grateful to the police because itwas foolish to put myself at riskspeeding with a tire that needed tobe replaced.

4. I’m grateful to the police for thewake-up call. Being pulled over didaffect me and it will make me watchmy speed and drive more carefullyin the future.

5. I’m grateful to the police becausesomehow I had a wild idea that Icould speed without getting caught,and without putting myself in



danger. The seriousness of the policemade me face up to the fact that Iwas putting both myself and othersin serious danger.

6. I’m grateful to the police because if Ithink about my own family beingput in danger by other speedingdrivers, then I definitely want thepolice to stop speeding drivers.

7. I’m really grateful to the police forthe work they do in trying to ensurethe safety of every person and fam-ily on the roads.

8. I’m grateful to the police. They mustsee heartbreaking situations everyday, and all they’re trying to do isprotect my life and my family’s life.



9. I am grateful to the police for mak-ing sure that I arrived home safely,and walked through the door to myfamily as I usually do.

10. I am grateful to the police because ofall the possible consequences thatcould have stopped me from myspeeding, the police pulling me overwas the least harmful consequence,and it could have been the biggestblessing of my life.

I would strongly urge you to take any mis-takes you’ve made in your life that you stillfeel bad about, and in your own time, followthis magnificent and magical practice. Thinkabout it; through one mistake you have thepower to bring many blessings! What elseguarantees dividends like that?




Magically Transform MistakesInto Blessings


2. Choose one mistake you made inyour life.

3. Find a total of ten blessings you’regrateful for as a result of making thatmistake, and write them down.



4. To help you find blessings, you canask yourself the questions: What didI learn from the mistake? And: Whatare the good things that came out ofthe mistake?




Day 27

The Magic Mirror



“The appearance of things changes ac-cording to the emotions, and thus wesee magic and beauty in them, while the



magic and beauty are really inourselves.”

Kahlil Gibran (1883–1931)POET AND ARTIST

You can spend the rest of your life runningaround trying to beat the outside world intothe shape you want, chasing one problemafter another trying to fix them, complainingabout situations or other people, and neversucceed in living your life to the fullest andrealizing all of your dreams. But when youmake the magic of gratitude your way of life,everything in the world around you magic-ally changes – just like that. Your world ma-gically changes because you changed, sowhat you are attracting changed too.

In the inspirational words of Gandhi and inthe lyrics of Michael Jackson’s song, “Man In



The Mirror,” which impacted hundreds ofmillions, one of the most powerful messagesof all time was delivered:

Change the person in the mirror, and yourworld will change.

If you have followed the 26 magical practicesto this point, you have changed! And eventhough it is sometimes hard to see thechanges in yourself, you will have felt thechange in your happiness, and you will haveseen the change of improved circumstancesin your life, and the magical changes in theworld around you.

You have practiced the magical power ofgratitude for your family and friends, foryour work, money, and health, for yourdreams, and even for the people you come



across each day. But the person who de-serves your gratitude more than anyone elseis you.

When you are grateful to be the person in themirror, feelings of dissatisfaction, discon-tentment, disappointment, or I’m-not-good-enough completely disappear. And withthem, every dissatisfying, discontenting, anddisappointing circumstance in your life ma-gically disappears too.

Negative feelings about yourself cause thegreatest damage to your life, because theyare more powerful than any feelings youhave about anything or anyone else.Wherever you go and whatever you do youtake those negative feelings with you in everymoment, and those feelings taint everythingyou touch, and they act as a magnet,



attracting more dissatisfaction, discontent-ment, and disappointment with everythingyou do.

When you are grateful to be you, you willonly attract circumstances that make you feeleven better about yourself. You have to berich with good feelings about yourself tobring the riches of life to you. Gratitude foryourself enriches you!

“Whoever has gratitude (for themselves)will be given more, and he or she will havean abundance. Whoever does not havegratitude (for themselves), even what heor she has will be taken from him or her.”

To do the Magic Mirror practice, go to a mir-ror right now. Look directly at the person inthe mirror, and out loud say the magic



words, thank you, with all your heart. Meanit more than you ever have before. Say thankyou for being you! Say thank you foreverything that you are! Say thank you withat least the same amount of feeling you’veused for everything and everyone else! Begrateful for you just as you are!

Continue with the Magic Mirror practice bybeing grateful to that beautiful person in themirror for the rest of the day today, and saythe magic words, thank you, every time youlook at yourself in a mirror. If you’re not in aposition to say the magic words out loud atany particular time, then you can say them inyour mind. And if you’re really brave, youcan look in the Magic Mirror and say threethings about yourself that you’re grateful for.



If for any reason in the future you are not be-ing kind to yourself, you will know to give tothe one person who deserves your gratitudemore than anyone else – the person in themirror!

When you’re grateful, you don’t blame your-self when you make a mistake. When you’regrateful, you don’t criticize yourself whenyou’re not perfect. When you’re grateful forbeing you, you are happy, and you will be-come a magnet to happy people, happy situ-ations, and magical circumstances, whichwill surround you wherever you go and inwhatever you do. When you can see the ma-gic in that person in the mirror, your wholeworld will change!




The Magic Mirror


2. Each time you look at yourself in amirror today, say thank you, andmean it more than you ever havebefore.



3. If you’re really brave, while lookingin the mirror say three things you’regrateful for about yourself.




Day 28

Remember The Magic



“That’s the thing with magic. You’ve gotto know it’s still here, all around us, orit just stays invisible for you.”



Charles de Lint (B. 1951)WRITER AND CELTIC FOLK MUSICIAN

Every day is unique; there is no day likeany other day. The good things that happeneach day are forever different and foreverchanging, and so when you Remember TheMagic by counting yesterday’s blessings, nomatter how many times you do it, it will bedifferent every time. It’s just one of the reas-ons why Remember The Magic is the mostpowerful ongoing practice to maintain themagic of gratitude in your life. No matterwhat your desires are now, or what desiresyou will have in the future, this magical prac-tice will remain the most powerful practicefor your entire life.

The easiest way to remember the blessings ofyesterday is to start by remembering the



beginning of the day when you woke up, andgo back over the day in your mind, recollect-ing the major events of the morning, after-noon, and evening, until you reach the timewhen you went to bed. When you recall yes-terday’s blessings it should be effortless; youare just scanning the surface of yesterday,and as you scan, the blessings will bubble tothe surface of your mind.

You can start this magical practice by askingthe question:

What are the good things that happenedyesterday?

Whenever you ask a question, your mind willimmediately look for the answer. Did you re-ceive any great news? Did you magically re-ceive or accomplish one of your desires? Did



you magically receive unexpected money?Did you feel especially happy? Did you hearfrom a friend who you haven’t heard from ina long time? Did something go magnificentlywell for you? Did you receive a great phonecall or email? Did you receive a compliment,or did someone express his or her appreci-ation for you? Did someone help you to solvea problem? Did you help somebody? Did youfinish a project or start something newyou’re excited about? Did you eat your favor-ite food, or watch a great movie? Did you re-ceive a gift, resolve a situation, have a stimu-lating meeting, quality time with someone, agreat conversation, or make plans forsomething you really want to do?

Remember The Magic and list yesterday’sblessings on a computer, or write them out



in a journal. Scan over the surface of yester-day until you feel satisfied that you’ve re-called the blessings of the day. They can besmall things or big things, because it’s notabout the size of the blessings; it’s about howmany blessings you find, and how muchgratitude you feel for each one. As you re-member and notate each one, simply begrateful and say the magic words for it –thank you.

When you want to do this magical practiceafter today, you can mix it up, so that somedays you write out the blessings and otherdays you remember the blessings and saythem out loud or in your mind. You canmake a quick list of the blessings, or you canmake a more detailed list saying why you’regrateful for each one.



There is no set number of blessings to findfrom yesterday, because every day is differ-ent. But I can assure you that every singleday of your life is full of blessings, and whenyou have opened your eyes to see the truth ofthis, you will have opened your heart to themagic of life, and your life will be abundantand magnificent.

“Whoever has gratitude will be givenmore, and he or she will have an abund-ance. Whoever does not have gratitude,even what he or she has will be taken fromhim or her.”

Remember The Magic – it was created foryou!

2. Remember The Magic by countingthe blessings of yesterday, and writ-ing them down. Ask yourself thequestion: What are the good thingsthat happened yesterday? Scan the



surface of yesterday until you feelsatisfied that you’ve remembered andwritten down all the blessings of theday.

3. As you remember each one, simplysay the magic words, thank you, for itin your mind.

“To speak gratitude is courteous andpleasant, to enact gratitude is generousand noble, but to live gratitude is totouch Heaven.”

Johannes A. Gaertner (1912–1996)PROFESSOR, THEOLOGIAN, POET

The ideal way to move forward from here isto maintain the foundation of gratitudeyou’ve built, and gradually keep building onit through increasing your depth of feeling.

Three days a week of Remember The Magic,or combining it with two other magical prac-tices of your choosing, should maintain yourcurrent foundation of gratitude, and keepbuilding the magic in your life so that yourlife continues to get better and better.

Four days a week of Remember The Magic,or incorporating it with three other magicalpractices of your choosing, will maintainyour gratitude and accelerate the magic.



Five days a week of Remember The Magic, orincorporating it with four other magicalpractices of your choosing, will dramaticallyincrease your happiness and the magic inevery area and circumstance of your life.

Six or seven days a week of Remember TheMagic, or incorporating it with any other ma-gical practices of your choosing, and you willbecome the true alchemist, who can turneverything into gold!

The Magic NeverEnds



I practice gratitude every day of my life,and it’s inconceivable to me now that I couldhave lived days, months, and years withoutpracticing gratitude in some way every day.



Gratitude has become a part of my personal-ity, it is in my cells, and it’s a pattern in mysubconscious mind.

But if we get caught up in life and forget topractice gratitude, over a period of time, themagic will evaporate. I use the magic in mylife as my guide to let me know if I’m practi-cing gratitude enough, or if I need to practicemore. I watch my life carefully, and if I findthat I’m not feeling as happy, I increase mypractice of gratitude. If a few little problemsstart appearing in a particular area of my life,immediately I increase the magical practicesof gratitude in that area.

I’m not blinded by false appearances any-more. Instead I look for the goodness to begrateful for in every circumstance, knowing



that it’s there. And then, like a puff of smoke,what was unwanted magically disappears!

“I started out giving thanks for smallthings, and the more thankful I became,the more my bounty increased. That’sbecause what you focus on expands,and when you focus on the goodness inyour life, you create more of it. Oppor-tunities, relationships, even moneyflowed my way when I learned to begrateful no matter what happened inmy life.”

Oprah Winfrey (B. 1954)MEDIA PERSONALITY AND BUSINESSWOMAN

Through the practice of gratitude you are us-ing an infallible law of the Universe; it is a



gift from the Universe to you, and it exists inorder for you to use it and advance your life.



The Universe and You

There is a level that you can reach with grat-itude that causes unlimited abundance inyour life. The way that this level of gratitudeis reached is through your relationship withthe Universe, or, if you prefer, Spirit or God.

You can tend to think of the Universe as sep-arate from you, and when you think of it,look up above yourself and toward the sky.While the Universe most certainly is aboveyou, it is also below you, and behind you, andbeside you, and it is within every single thingand every single person. That means theUniverse is within you.



“As below, so above; and as above sobelow. With this knowledge alone youmay work miracles.”

THE EMERALD TABLET (circa 5,000–3,000 BC)

When you understand that the Universe iswithin you, and by it’s very nature it is foryou, wanting you to have more life, morehealth, more love, more beauty, and more ofeverything you want, then you will feel genu-ine gratitude to the Universe for everythingyou receive in your life. And you will have es-tablished a personal relationship betweenyou and the Universe.

The more genuine gratitude you feel towardthe Universe for everything you receive, thecloser your relationship becomes with theUniverse – and that is when you can reach



the level of unlimited abundance from themagic of gratitude.

You will have opened your heart and mindcompletely to the magic of gratitude, andwith it you will touch the lives of everyoneyou come into contact with. You will becomea friend of the Universe. You will become achannel for unlimited blessings on Earth.When you get up close and personal with theUniverse, when you feel that closeness of theUniverse within you, from that moment on,the world will belong to you, and there willbe nothing that you cannot be, have, or do!



Gratitude Is the Answer

Gratitude is the cure for broken or difficultrelationships, for lack of health or money,and for unhappiness. Gratitude eliminatesfear, worry, grief, and depression, and bringshappiness, clarity, patience, kindness, com-passion, understanding, and peace of mind.Gratitude brings solutions to problems, andthe opportunities and wherewithal to realizeyour dreams.

Gratitude is behind every success, and itopens the door to new ideas and discoveries,as the great scientists Newton and Einsteinproved. Imagine if every scientist followed intheir footsteps; the world would be propelledinto new territories of understanding,growth, and advancement. Current limits



would be broken, and life-altering discover-ies would be made in technology, physics,medicine, psychology, astronomy, and everyscientific field.

If gratitude became a mandatory subject inschools, we would see a generation of chil-dren who would advance our civilizationthrough spectacular accomplishments anddiscoveries, obliterating disagreements, end-ing wars, and bringing peace to the world.

The nations who will lead the world in thefuture are the ones whose leaders and peopleare the most grateful. The gratitude of a na-tion’s people would cause their country tothrive and become rich, would cause ill-nesses and disease to drastically drop, busi-nesses and production to escalate, and hap-piness and peace to sweep the nation.



Poverty would disappear, and there wouldnot be a single person in hunger, because agrateful nation could never allow it to exist.

The more people who discover gratitude’smagical power, the faster it will sweep theworld, and cause a gratitude revolution.



Take The Magic with You

Take gratitude with you wherever you go.Saturate the magic of gratitude into yourpassions, encounters, actions, and life situ-ations to make all your dreams come true. Inthe future, if life presents you with a challen-ging situation that you think you have nocontrol over, and you’re at a loss as to whatto do, instead of worry or fear, turn to themagic of gratitude and be grateful foreverything else in your life. When you delib-erately thank the goodness in your life, thecircumstances around the challenging situ-ation will magically change.



“We showed him (i.e. man) the way:whether he be grateful or ungrateful(rests on his will).”

KORAN (al-Insân 76:3)

Say the magic words, thank you. Say themout loud, shout them from the rooftops,whisper them to yourself, say them in yourmind, or feel them in your heart, butwherever you go from this day forward, takegratitude and its magical power with you.

To have a magical life filled with abundanceand happiness, the answer is on your lips, itis inside your heart, and it is ready and wait-ing for you to bring forth the magic!

All of this happened because of knowing how toapply The Secret.



What Is The Secret?

Bob ProctorYou’ve probably been sitting there wondering,“What is The Secret?” I’ll tell you how I’ve cometo understand it.

We all work with one infinite power. We all guideourselves by exactly the same laws. The naturallaws of the universe are so precise that we don’teven have any difficulty building spaceships, wecan send people to the moon, and we can time thelanding with the precision of a fraction of asecond.



Wherever you are—India, Australia, New Zeal-and, Stockholm, London, Toronto, Montreal, orNew York—we’re all working with one power.One Law. It’s attraction!

The Secret is the law of attraction!

Everything that’s coming into your life you areattracting into your life. And it’s attracted to youby virtue of the images you’re holding in yourmind. It’s what you’re thinking. Whatever is go-ing on in your mind you are attracting to you.

“Every thought of yours is a real thing—aforce.”

Prentice Mulford (1834–1891)

The greatest teachers who have ever lived havetold us that the law of attraction is the mostpowerful law in the Universe.



Poets such as William Shakespeare, RobertBrowning, and William Blake delivered it in theirpoetry. Musicians such as Ludwig van Beethovenexpressed it through their music. Artists such asLeonardo da Vinci depicted it in their paintings.Great thinkers including Socrates, Plato, RalphWaldo Emerson, Pythagoras, Sir Francis Bacon,Sir Isaac Newton, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe,and Victor Hugo shared it in their writings andteachings. Their names have been immortalized,and their legendary existence has survivedcenturies.

Religions, such as Hinduism, Hermetic traditions,Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, andcivilizations, such as the ancient Babylonians andEgyptians, delivered it through their writings andstories. Recorded throughout the ages in all itsforms, the law can be found in ancient writings



through all the centuries. It was recorded in stonein 3000 BC. Even though some coveted thisknowledge, and indeed they did, it has alwaysbeen there for anyone to discover.

The law began at the beginning of time. It has al-ways been and will always be.

It is the law that determines the complete order inthe Universe, every moment of your life, andevery single thing you experience in your life. Itdoesn’t matter who you are or where you are, thelaw of attraction is forming your entire life exper-ience, and this all-powerful law is doing thatthrough your thoughts. You are the one who callsthe law of attraction into action, and you do itthrough your thoughts.

In 1912 Charles Haanel described the law of at-traction as “the greatest and the most infallible



law upon which the entire system of creationdepends.”

Bob ProctorWise people have always known this. You can goright back to the ancient Babylonians. They’vealways known this. It’s a small select group ofpeople.

The ancient Babylonians and their great prosper-ity have been well documented by scholars. Theyare also known for creating one of the SevenWonders of the World, the Hanging Gardens ofBabylon. Through their understanding and ap-plication of the laws of the Universe, they be-came one of the wealthiest races in history.



Bob ProctorWhy do you think that 1 percent of the populationearns around 96 percent of all the money that’sbeing earned? Do you think that’s an accident?It’s designed that way. They understandsomething. They understand The Secret, and nowyou are being introduced to The Secret.

People who have drawn wealth into their livesused The Secret, whether consciously or uncon-sciously. They think thoughts of abundance andwealth, and they do not allow any contradictorythoughts to take root in their minds. Their pre-dominant thoughts are of wealth. They only knowwealth, and nothing else exists in their minds.Whether they are aware of it or not, their pre-dominant thoughts of wealth are what brought



wealth to them. It is the law of attraction inaction.

A perfect example to demonstrate The Secret andthe law of attraction in action is this: You mayknow of people who acquired massive wealth,lost it all, and within a short time acquiredmassive wealth again. What happened in thesecases, whether they knew it or not, is that theirdominant thoughts were on wealth; that is howthey acquired it in the first instance. Then they al-lowed fearful thoughts of losing the wealth toenter their minds, until those fearful thoughts ofloss became their dominant thoughts. Theytipped the scales from thinking thoughts ofwealth to thinking thoughts of loss, and so theylost it all. Once they had lost it however, the fearof loss disappeared, and they tipped the scales



back with dominant thoughts of wealth. Andwealth returned.

The law responds to your thoughts, no matterwhat they may be.



Like Attracts Like

John AssarafThe simplest way for me to look at the law of at-traction is if I think of myself as a magnet, and Iknow that a magnet will attract to it.

You are the most powerful magnet in the Uni-verse! You contain a magnetic power within youthat is more powerful than anything in this world,and this unfathomable magnetic power is emittedthrough your thoughts.



Bob Doyle

AUTHOR AND LAW OF ATTRACTION SPECIALIST

Basically put, the law of attraction says that likeattracts like. But we’re really talking at a level ofthought.

The law of attraction says like attracts like, andso as you think a thought, you are also attractinglike thoughts to you. Here are more examples youmay have experienced of the law of attraction inyour life:

Have you ever started to think about somethingyou were not happy about, and the more youthought about it the worse it seemed? That’s be-cause as you think one sustained thought, the law



of attraction immediately brings more likethoughts to you. In a matter of minutes, you havegotten so many like unhappy thoughts coming toyou that the situation seems to be getting worse.The more you think about it, the more upset youget.

You may have experienced attracting likethoughts when you listened to a song, and thenfound that you couldn’t get that song out of yourhead. The song just kept playing over and over inyour mind. When you listened to that song, eventhough you may not have realized it, you gaveyour full attention and focus of thought to it. Asyou did that, you were powerfully attracting morelike thoughts of that song, and so the law of at-traction moved into action and delivered morethoughts of that song, over and over again.



John AssarafOur job as humans is to hold on to the thoughtsof what we want, make it absolutely clear in ourminds what we want, and from that we start to in-voke one of the greatest laws in the Universe, andthat’s the law of attraction. You become what youthink about most, but you also attract what youthink about most.

Your life right now is a reflection of your pastthoughts. That includes all the great things, andall the things you consider not so great. Since youattract to you what you think about most, it iseasy to see what your dominant thoughts havebeen on every subject of your life, because that iswhat you have experienced. Until now! Now you



are learning The Secret, and with this knowledge,you can change everything.

Bob ProctorIf you see it in your mind, you’re going to hold itin your hand.

If you can think about what you want in yourmind, and make that your dominant thought, youwill bring it into your life.

Mike Dooley

AUTHOR AND INTERNATIONAL SPEAKER



And that principle can be summed up in threesimple words. Thoughts become things!

Through this most powerful law, your thoughtsbecome the things in your life. Your thoughts be-come things! Say this over to yourself and let itseep into your consciousness and your aware-ness. Your thoughts become things!

John AssarafWhat most people don’t understand is that athought has a frequency. We can measure athought. And so if you’re thinking that thoughtover and over and over again, if you’re imagin-ing in your mind having that brand new car, hav-ing the money that you need, building that com-pany, finding your soul mate . . . if you’re



imagining what that looks like, you’re emittingthat frequency on a consistent basis.

Dr. Joe VitaleThoughts are sending out that magnetic signalthat is drawing the parallel back to you.

“The predominant thought or the mental at-titude is the magnet, and the law is that likeattracts like, consequently, the mental atti-tude will invariably attract such conditionsas correspond to its nature.”

Charles Haanel (1866–1949)

Thoughts are magnetic, and thoughts have a fre-quency. As you think, those thoughts are sent outinto the Universe, and they magnetically attract



all like things that are on the same frequency.Everything sent out returns to the source. Andthat source is You.

Think of it this way: we understand that a televi-sion station’s transmission tower broadcasts via afrequency, which is transformed into pictures onyour television. Most of us don’t really under-stand how it works, but we know that each chan-nel has a frequency, and when we tune into thatfrequency we see the pictures on our television.We choose the frequency by selecting the chan-nel, and we then receive the pictures broadcast onthat channel. If we want to see different pictureson our television, we change the channel andtune into a new frequency.

You are a human transmission tower, and you aremore powerful than any television tower createdon earth. You are the most powerful transmission



tower in the Universe. Your transmission createsyour life and it creates the world. The frequencyyou transmit reaches beyond cities, beyond coun-tries, beyond the world. It reverberatesthroughout the entire Universe. And you aretransmitting that frequency with your thoughts!

The pictures you receive from the transmission ofyour thoughts are not on a television screen inyour living room, they are the pictures of yourlife! Your thoughts create the frequency, they at-tract like things on that frequency, and then theyare broadcast back to you as your life pictures. Ifyou want to change anything in your life, changethe channel and change the frequency by chan-ging your thoughts.



“The vibrations of mental forces are thefinest and consequently the most powerful inexistence.”

Charles Haanel

Bob ProctorSee yourself living in abundance and you will at-tract it. It works every time, with every person.

As you think of yourself living in abundance, youare powerfully and consciously determining yourlife through the law of attraction. It’s that easy.But then the most obvious question becomes,“Why isn’t everybody living the life of theirdreams?”



Attract the Good Insteadof the Bad

John AssarafHere’s the problem. Most people are thinkingabout what they don’t want, and they’re wonder-ing why it shows up over and over again.

The only reason why people do not have whatthey want is because they are thinking moreabout what they don’t want than what they dowant. Listen to your thoughts, and listen to the



words you are saying. The law is absolute andthere are no mistakes.

An epidemic worse than any plague that human-kind has ever seen has been raging for centuries.It is the “don’t want” epidemic. People keep thisepidemic alive when they predominantly think,speak, act, and focus on what they “don’t want.”But this is the generation that will change history,because we are receiving the knowledge that canfree us of this epidemic! It begins with you, andyou can become a pioneer of this new thoughtmovement by simply thinking and speakingabout what you want.



Bob DoyleThe law of attraction doesn’t care whether youperceive something to be good or bad, or wheth-er you don’t want it or whether you do want it.It’s responding to your thoughts. So if you’relooking at a mountain of debt, feeling terribleabout it, that’s the signal you’re putting out intothe Universe. “I feel really bad because of allthis debt I’ve got.” You’re just affirming it toyourself. You feel it on every level of your being.That’s what you’re going to get more of.

The law of attraction is a law of nature. It is im-personal and it does not see good things or badthings. It is receiving your thoughts and reflect-ing back to you those thoughts as your life



experience. The law of attraction simply givesyou whatever it is you are thinking about.

Lisa Nichols

AUTHOR AND PERSONAL EMPOWERMENT ADVOCATE

The law of attraction is really obedient. Whenyou think of the things that you want, and you fo-cus on them with all of your intention, then thelaw of attraction will give you exactly what youwant, every time. When you focus on the thingsthat you don’t want—“I don’t want to be late, Idon’t want to be late”—the law of attractiondoesn’t hear that you don’t want it. It manifeststhe things that you’re thinking of, and so it’s go-ing to show up over and over and over again.



The law of attraction is not biased to wants ordon’t wants. When you focus on something, nomatter what it happens to be, you really are call-ing that into existence.

When you focus your thoughts on something youwant, and you hold that focus, you are in that mo-ment summoning what you want with the mighti-est power in the Universe. The law of attractiondoesn’t compute “don’t” or “not” or “no,” or anyother words of negation. As you speak words ofnegation, this is what the law of attraction isreceiving:

“I don’t want to spill something on this outfit.”

“I want to spill something on this outfit and Iwant to spill more things.”

“I don’t want a bad haircut.”

“I want bad haircuts.”



“I don’t want to be delayed.”

“I want delays.”

“I don’t want that person to be rude to me.”

“I want that person and more people to berude to me.”

“I don’t want the restaurant to give away ourtable.”

“I want restaurants to give away our tables.”

“I don’t want these shoes to hurt.”

“I want shoes to hurt.”

“I can’t handle all this work.”

“I want more work than I can handle.”

“I don’t want to catch the flu.”

“I want the flu and I want to catch morethings.”



“I don’t want to argue.”

“I want more arguing.”

“Don’t speak to me like that.”

“I want you to speak to me like that and I wantother people to speak to me like that.”

The law of attraction is giving you what you arethinking about —period!

Bob ProctorThe law of attraction is always working, whetheryou believe it or understand it or not.

The law of attraction is the law of creation.Quantum physicists tell us that the entire Uni-verse emerged from thought! You create your lifethrough your thoughts and the law of attraction,



and every single person does the same. It doesn’tjust work if you know about it. It has alwaysbeen working in your life and every other per-son’s life throughout history. When you becomeaware of this great law, then you become awareof how incredibly powerful you are, to be able toTHINK your life into existence.

Lisa NicholsIt’s working as much as you’re thinking. Anytime your thoughts are flowing, the law of attrac-tion is working. When you’re thinking about thepast, the law of attraction’s working. Whenyou’re thinking about the present or the future,the law of attraction is working. It’s an ongoingprocess. You don’t press pause, you don’t pressstop. It is forever in action, as your thoughts are.



Whether we realize it or not, we are thinkingmost of the time. If you are speaking or listeningto someone, you are thinking. If you are readingthe newspaper or watching television, you arethinking. When you recall memories from yourpast, you are thinking. When you are consideringsomething in your future, you are thinking. Whenyou are driving, you are thinking. When you aregetting ready in the morning, you are thinking.For many of us, the only time we are not thinkingis when we are asleep; however, the forces of at-traction are still operating on our last thoughts aswe fall asleep. Make your last thoughts beforegoing to sleep good thoughts.



Michael Bernard BeckwithCreation is always happening. Every time an in-dividual has a thought, or a prolonged chronicway of thinking, they’re in the creation process.Something is going to manifest out of thosethoughts.

What you are thinking now is creating your fu-ture life. You create your life with your thoughts.Because you are always thinking, you are alwayscreating. What you think about the most or focuson the most, is what will appear as your life.

Like all the laws of nature, there is utter perfec-tion in this law. You create your life. Whateveryou sow, you reap! Your thoughts are seeds, and



the harvest you reap will depend on the seeds youplant.

If you are complaining, the law of attraction willpowerfully bring into your life more situationsfor you to complain about. If you are listening tosomeone else complain and focusing on that,sympathizing with them, agreeing with them, inthat moment, you are attracting more situations toyourself to complain about.

The law is simply reflecting and giving back toyou exactly what you are focusing on with yourthoughts. With this powerful knowledge, you cancompletely change every circumstance and eventin your entire life, by changing the way youthink.



Bill Harris

TEACHER AND FOUNDER OF CENTERPOINTERESEARCH INSTITUTE

I had a student named Robert, who was taking anonline course I have, part of which entails emailaccess to me.

Robert was gay. He outlined all of the grim real-ities of his life in his emails to me. In his job, hiscoworkers ganged up on him. It was constantlystressful because of how nasty they were withhim. When he walked down the street, he was ac-costed by homophobic people who wanted to ab-use him in some way. He wanted to become astand-up comedian, and when he did a stand-upcomedy job, everybody heckled him about being



gay. His whole life was one of unhappiness andmisery, and it all focused around being attackedbecause he was gay.

I began to teach him that he was focusing onwhat he did not want. I directed him back to hisemail that he sent me and said, “Read it again.Look at all the things you do not want that you’retelling me about. I can tell you’re very passionateabout this and when you focus on something witha lot of passion, it makes it happen even faster!”

Then he started taking this thing about focusingon what you want to heart, and he began reallytrying it. What happened within the next six toeight weeks was an absolute miracle. All thepeople in his office who had been harassing himeither transferred to another department, quitworking at the company, or started completelyleaving him alone. He began to love his job.



When he walked down the street, nobody har-assed him anymore. They just weren’t there.When he did his stand-up comedy routines hestarted getting standing ovations, and nobodywas heckling him!

His whole life changed because he changed fromfocusing on what he did not want, what he wasafraid of, what he wanted to avoid, to focusing onwhat he did want.

Robert’s life changed because he changed histhoughts. He emitted a different frequency out in-to the Universe. The Universe must deliver thepictures of the new frequency, no matter how im-possible the situation might seem. Robert’s newthoughts became his new frequency, and the pic-tures of his entire life changed.



Your life is in your hands. No matter where youare now, no matter what has happened in yourlife, you can begin to consciously choose yourthoughts, and you can change your life. There isno such thing as a hopeless situation. Everysingle circumstance of your life can change!



The Power of Your Mind

Michael Bernard BeckwithYou attract to you the predominant thoughts thatyou’re holding in your awareness, whether thosethoughts are conscious or unconscious. That’sthe rub.

Whether you have been aware of your thoughtsin the past or not, now you are becoming aware.Right now, with the knowledge of The Secret,you are waking up from a deep sleep and becom-ing aware! Aware of the knowledge, aware of the



law, aware of the power you have through yourthoughts.

Dr. John DemartiniIf you look very carefully when it comes to TheSecret, and the power of our mind and the powerof our intention in our daily lives, it’s all aroundus. All we have to do is open our eyes and look.

Lisa NicholsYou can see the law of attraction everywhere.You draw everything to yourself. The people, thejob, the circumstances, the health, the wealth, thedebt, the joy, the car that you drive, the com-munity that you’re in. And you’ve drawn them all



to you, like a magnet. What you think about youbring about. Your whole life is a manifestation ofthe thoughts that go on in your head.

This is a Universe of inclusion, not exclusion.Nothing is excluded from the law of attraction.Your life is a mirror of the dominant thoughtsyou think. All living things on this planet operatethrough the law of attraction. The difference withhumans is that they have a mind that can discern.They can use their free will to choose theirthoughts. They have the power to intentionallythink and create their entire life with their mind.



Dr. Fred Alan Wolf

QUANTUM PHYSICIST, LECTURER, AND AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR

I’m not talking to you from the point of view ofwishful thinking or imaginary craziness. I’m talk-ing to you from a deeper, basic understanding.

Quantum physics really begins to point to thisdiscovery. It says that you can’t have a Universewithout mind entering into it, and that the mind isactually shaping the very thing that is beingperceived.

If you think about the analogy of being the mostpowerful transmission tower in the Universe, youwill see the perfect correlation with Dr. Wolf’s



words. Your mind thinks thoughts and the pic-tures are broadcast back as your life experience.You not only create your life with your thoughts,but your thoughts add powerfully to the creationof the world. If you thought that you were insig-nificant and had no power in this world, thinkagain. Your mind is actually shaping the worldaround you.

The amazing work and discoveries of thequantum physicists over the last eighty years hasbrought us to a greater understanding of the un-fathomable power of the human mind to create.Their work parallels the words of the world’sgreat minds, including Carnegie, Emerson,Shakespeare, Bacon, Krishna, and Buddha.



Bob ProctorIf you don’t understand the law that doesn’tmean you should reject it. You may not under-stand electricity, and yet you enjoy the benefits ofit. I don’t know how it works. But I do know this:You can cook a man’s dinner with electricity, andyou can also cook the man!

Michael Bernard BeckwithOftentimes when people begin to understand theGreat Secret, they become frightened of all thenegative thoughts that they have. They need to beaware that it has been scientifically proven thatan affirmative thought is hundreds of times more



powerful than a negative thought. That elimin-ates a degree of worry right there.

It really does take many negative thoughts andpersistent negative thinking to bring somethingnegative into your life. However, if you persist inthinking negative thoughts over a period of time,they will appear in your life. If you worry abouthaving negative thoughts, you will attract moreworrying about your negative thoughts, and mul-tiply them at the same time. Decide right nowthat you are going to think only good thoughts.At the same time, proclaim to the Universe thatall your good thoughts are powerful, and that anynegative thoughts are weak.



Lisa NicholsThank God that there’s a time delay, that all ofyour thoughts don’t come true instantly. We’d bein trouble if they did. The element of time delayserves you. It allows you to reassess, to thinkabout what you want, and to make a new choice.

All of your power to create your life is availableright now, because right now is when you arethinking. If you have had some thoughts that willnot be beneficial when they manifest, then rightnow you can change your thinking. You canerase your previous thoughts by replacing themwith good thoughts. Time serves you becauseyou can think new thoughts and emit a new fre-quency, now!



Dr. Joe VitaleYou want to become aware of your thoughts andchoose your thoughts carefully and you want tohave fun with this, because you are the master-piece of your own life. You are the Michelangeloof your own life. The David you are sculpting isyou.

One way to master your mind is to learn to quietyour mind. Without exception, every teacher inthis book uses meditation as a daily practice. Itwasn’t until I discovered The Secret that I real-ized how powerful meditation can be. Meditationquiets your mind, helps you control yourthoughts, and revitalizes your body. The greatnews is that you don’t have to set aside hours tomeditate. Just three to ten minutes a day to begin



with, can be incredibly powerful for gaining con-trol over your thoughts.

To become aware of your thoughts, you can alsoset the intention, “I am the master of mythoughts.” Say it often, meditate on it, and as youhold to that intention, by the law of attraction youmust become that.

You are now receiving the knowledge that willenable you to create the most magnificent versionof You. The possibility of that version of youalready exists on the frequency of “the most mag-nificent version of You.” Decide what you wantto be, do, and have, think the thoughts of it, emitthe frequency, and your vision will become yourlife.



• The Great Secret of Life is the law ofattraction.

• The law of attraction says like attractslike, so when you think a thought, youare also attracting like thoughts to you.

• Thoughts are magnetic, and thoughtshave a frequency. As you think thoughts,they are sent out into the Universe, andthey magnetically attract all like thingsthat are on the same frequency.Everything sent out returns to thesource—you.

• You are like a human transmissiontower, transmitting a frequency withyour thoughts. If you want to change



anything in your life, change the fre-quency by changing your thoughts.

• Your current thoughts are creating yourfuture life. What you think about the mostor focus on the most will appear as yourlife.

• Your thoughts become things.

To create anything, to change anything, all ittakes is just one thing . . .

THE POWER.

Read on for a preview of Rhonda Byrne’sbest-selling book.



“What this power is I cannot say; all Iknow is that it exists.”

Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922)INVENTOR OF THE TELEPHONE

Life is simple. Your life is made up of onlytwo kinds of things – positive things and



negative things. Each area of your life,whether it’s your health, money, relation-ships, work, or happiness, is either positiveor negative to you. You have plenty of moneyor you lack money. You are brimming withhealth or you lack health. Your relationshipsare happy or difficult. Your work is excitingand successful or dissatisfying and unsuc-cessful. You are filled with happiness or youdon’t feel good a lot of the time. You havegood years or bad years, good times or badtimes, good days or bad days.

If you have more negative things than pos-itive things in your life, then something isvery wrong and you know it. You see otherpeople who are happy and fulfilled andwhose lives are full of great things, andsomething tells you that you deserve all that



too. And you’re right; you do deserve a lifeoverflowing with good things.

Most people who have a great life don’trealize exactly what it was that they did toget it. But they did do something. They usedthe power that is the cause of everythinggood in life . . .

Without exception, every person who has agreat life used love to achieve it. The powerto have all the positive and good things in lifeis love!

Love has been talked about and writtenabout since the beginning of time, in everyreligion, and by every great thinker, philo-sopher, prophet, and leader. But many of ushave not truly understood their wise words.Even though their teachings were specificallyfor people in their time, their one truth and



message to the world is still the same today:love, because when you love you are usingthe greatest power in the universe.



The Force of Love

“Love is an element which though phys-ically unseen is as real as air or water.It is an acting, living, moving force . . .it moves in waves and currents likethose of the ocean.”

Prentice Mulford (1834-1891)NEW THOUGHT AUTHOR



The kind of love that the greatest thinkersand saviors of the world talked about is verydifferent from what most people understandlove to be. It is much more than loving yourfamily, friends, and favorite things, because



love is not just a feeling: love is a positiveforce. Love is not weak, feeble, or soft. Loveis the positive force of life! Love is the causeof everything positive and good. There arenot a hundred different positive forces inlife; there is only one.

Nature’s great powers, like gravity andelectromagnetism, are invisible to oursenses, but their power is indisputable. Like-wise, the force of love is invisible to us, butits power is in fact far greater than any ofnature’s powers. The evidence of its powercan be seen everywhere in the world: withoutlove, there is no life.

Take a moment to think about it: Whatwould the world be without love? First of all,you wouldn’t even exist; without love youcouldn’t have been born. None of your family



and friends would have been born either. Infact, there wouldn’t be a single human beingon the planet. If the force of love ceasedtoday, the entire human race would decreaseand eventually die out.

Every single invention, discovery, and hu-man creation came from the love in a humanheart. If it were not for the love of the WrightBrothers, we could not fly in an airplane. If itwere not for the love of scientists, inventors,and discoverers, we would not have electri-city, heating, or light; nor would we be ableto drive a car or use a phone, appliance, orany of the technology that makes life easierand more comfortable. Without the love ofarchitects and builders, there would be nohomes, buildings, or cities. Without love,there would be no medicines, doctors, oremergency facilities. No teachers, schools, or



education. There would be no books, nopaintings, and no music, because all of thesethings are created from the positive force oflove. Take a look around you right now.Whatever you see that is a human creationwould not be there without love.

“Take away love and our earth is atomb.”

Robert Browning (1812-1889)POET



Love Is the Force That MovesYou

Everything you want to be, do, or havecomes from love. Without love, you wouldn’tmove. There would be no positive force topropel you to get up in the morning, to work,play, dance, talk, learn, listen to music, or doanything at all. You’d be like a stone statue.It is the positive force of love that inspiresyou to move and gives you the desire to be,do, or have anything. The positive force oflove can create anything good, increase thegood things, and change anything negative inyour life. You have the power over yourhealth, your wealth, your career, your rela-tionships, and every area of your life. Andthat power – love – is inside you!



But if you have the power over your life,and that power is inside you, why isn’t yourlife amazing? Why isn’t every area of yourlife magnificent? Why don’t you haveeverything you want? Why haven’t you beenable to do everything you want to do? Whyaren’t you filled with joy every day?

The answer is: because you have a choice.You have a choice whether to love and har-ness the positive force – or not. And whetheryou realize it or not, every day of your life –every moment of your life – you have beenmaking this choice. Without exception, everysingle time you experienced something goodin your life, you loved and harnessed love’spositive force. And every single time you ex-perienced something not good, you didn’tlove, and the result was negativity. Love isthe cause of all the good things in your life,



and a lack of love is the cause of all the neg-ative things and all the pain and suffering.Tragically, a lack of knowledge and under-standing of the power of love is clear inpeople’s lives across the planet today – andin the entire history of humanity.

“Love is the most powerful and stillmost unknown energy in the world.”

Pierre Teilharde Chardin (1812-1889)PRIEST AND PHILOSOPHER



Now, you are receiving the knowledge ofthe one and only power to all the good thingsin life, and you will be able to use it tochange your entire life. But first, you mustunderstand exactly how love works.



The Law of Love

The universe is governed by natural laws.We can fly in an airplane because aviationworks in harmony with natural laws. Thelaws of physics didn’t change for us to beable to fly, but we found a way to work in ac-cordance with the natural laws, and by doingso we can fly. Just as laws of physics governaviation, electricity, and gravity, there is alaw that governs love. To harness the posit-ive force of love and change your life, youmust understand its law, the most powerfullaw in the universe – the law of attraction.

From the greatest to the smallest – the lawof attraction is what holds every star in theuniverse and forms every atom and mo-lecule. The force of attraction of the sun



holds the planets in our solar system, keep-ing them from hurtling into space. The forceof attraction in gravity holds you and everyperson, animal, plant, and mineral on earth.The force of attraction can be seen in all ofnature from a flower attracting bees or aseed attracting nutrients from the soil, toevery living creature being attracted to itsown species. The force of attraction operatesthrough all the animals on the earth, fish inthe sea, and birds in the sky, leading them tomultiply and form herds, schools, and flocks.The force of attraction holds together thecells of your body, the materials of yourhouse, and the furniture you sit on, and itholds your car to the road and the water inyour glass. Every object you use is held to-gether by the force of attraction.



Attraction is the force that draws people toother people. It draws people to form citiesand nations, groups, clubs, and societieswhere they share common interests. It is theforce that pulls one person to science and an-other to cooking; it pulls people to varioussports or to different styles of music, to cer-tain animals and pets. Attraction is the forcethat draws you to your favorite things andplaces, and it’s the force that draws you toyour friends and the people you love.



The Attractive Force of Love

So what is the force of attraction? Theforce of attraction is the force of love! Attrac-tion is love. When you feel an attraction toyour favorite food, you’re feeling love for thatfood; without attraction, you wouldn’t feelanything. All food would be the same to you.You wouldn’t know what you love or whatyou don’t love, because you wouldn’t be at-tracted to anything. You wouldn’t be attrac-ted to another person, a particular city,house, car, sport, job, music, clothes, or any-thing, because it’s through the force of at-traction that you feel love!



“The law of attraction or the law of love. . . they are one and the same.”

Charles Haanel (1866-1949)NEW THOUGHT AUTHOR

The law of attraction is the law of love, andit is the all-powerful law that keeps



everything in harmony, from countlessgalaxies to atoms. It is operating ineverything and through everything in theuniverse. And it is the law that is operatingin your life.

In universal terms, the law of attractionsays: like attracts like. What that means insimple terms for your life is: what you giveout, you receive back. Whatever you give outin life is what you receive back in life.Whatever you give, by the law of attraction,is exactly what you attract back to yourself.

“To every action there is an equal andopposite reaction.”



Isaac Newton (1643-1727)MATHEMATICIAN AND PHYSICIST

Every action of giving creates an oppositeaction of receiving and what you receive isalways equal to what you’ve given. Whateveryou give out in life, must return to you. It isthe physics and the mathematics of theuniverse.



Give positivity, you receive back positivity;give negativity, you receive back negativity.Give positivity and you receive back a life fullof positive things. Give negativity and you re-ceive back a life filled with negative things.And how do you give positivity or negativity?Through your thoughts and your feelings!

In any moment, you’re giving either posit-ive thoughts or negative thoughts. You’regiving either positive feelings or negativefeelings. And whether they’re positive ornegative will determine what you receiveback in your life. All the people, circum-stances, and events that make up every mo-ment of your life are being attracted back toyou through the thoughts and feelings you’regiving out. Life doesn’t just happen to you;you receive everything in your life based onwhat you’ve given.



“Give, and it will be given to you . . . forby your standard of measure it will bemeasured to you in return.”

Jesus (circa 5 BC-circa AD 30)FOUNDER OF CHRISTIANITY, IN LUKE 6:38

What you give – you receive. Give help andsupport to a friend when he’s moving house,and most surely that help and support willreturn to you with lightning speed. Give an-ger to a family member who let you down,



and that anger will also return to you,clothed in the circumstances of your life.

You are creating your life with yourthoughts and your feelings. Whatever youthink and feel creates everything that hap-pens to you and everything you experience inyour life. If you think and feel, “I’ve got a dif-ficult and stressful day today,” then you willattract back to you all people, circumstances,and events that will make your day difficultand stressful.

If you think and feel, “Life is really good tome,” you will attract back to you all people,circumstances, and events that will make lifereally good for you.



You Are a Magnet

The law of attraction is unfailingly givingyou every single thing in your life based onwhat you’re giving out. You magnetize andreceive the circumstances of wealth, health,relationships, your job, and every singleevent and experience in your life, based onthe thoughts and feelings you’re giving out.Give out positive thoughts and feelings aboutmoney, and you magnetize positive circum-stances, people, and events that bring moremoney to you. Give out negative thoughtsand feelings about money, and you magnet-ize negative circumstances, people, andevents that cause you to have a lack ofmoney.



“Whether humanity will consciously fol-low the law of love, I do not know. Butthat need not disturb me. The law willwork just as the law of gravitationworks whether we accept it or not.”

Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)INDIAN POLITICAL LEADER



As surely as you think and feel, the law ofattraction is responding to you. It doesn’tmatter whether your thoughts and feelingsare good or bad, you are giving them out,and they will return to you as automaticallyand precisely as an echo returns the samewords you send out. But this means that youcan change your life by changing yourthoughts and feelings. Give positive thoughtsand feelings, and you will change your entirelife!



Positive and NegativeThoughts

Your thoughts are both the words you hearin your head and the words you speak outloud. When you say to somebody, “What abeautiful day,” you had the thought first andthen spoke the words. Your thoughts also be-come your actions. When you get out of bedin the morning, you had the thought of get-ting out of bed before you took action. Youcan’t take any action without thinking thethought first.

It’s your thoughts that determine whetheryour words and actions will be positive ornegative. But how do you know whether yourthoughts are positive or negative? Yourthoughts are positive when they are thoughts



of what you want and love! And negativethoughts are thoughts of what you don’twant and don’t love. It is that simple andthat easy.

Whatever you want in your life, you wantit because you love it. Take a moment andthink about it. You don’t want things youdon’t love, do you? Every person only wantswhat they love; nobody wants what theydon’t love.

When you think or talk about the thingsyou want and love, such as, “I love thoseshoes, they’re beautiful,” your thoughts arepositive, and those positive thoughts willcome back to you as the things you love –beautiful shoes. When you think or talkabout the things you don’t want and don’tlove, such as “Look at the price of those



shoes, that’s highway robbery,” yourthoughts are negative, and those negativethoughts will come back to you as the thingsyou don’t love – things that are too expensivefor you.

Most people think and talk about whatthey don’t love more than they think and talkabout what they love. They give out morenegativity than love, and in doing so they areinadvertently depriving themselves of all thegood things in life.

It’s impossible to have a great life withoutlove. People who have great lives think andtalk about what they love more than whatthey don’t love! And people who are strug-gling think and talk about what they don’tlove more than what they do love!



“One word frees us of all the weight andpain of life. That word is love.”

Sophocles (496-406 BC)GREEK PLAYWRIGHT



Talk About What You Love

When you talk about any difficulties withmoney, a relationship, an illness, or eventhat the profits of your business are down,you are not talking about what you love.When you talk about a bad event in the news,or a person or situation that annoyed or frus-trated you, you are not talking about whatyou love. Talking about the bad day you had,being late for an appointment, getting caughtin traffic, or missing the bus are all talkingabout what you don’t love. There are manylittle things that happen each day; if you getcaught up in talking about what you don’tlove, every one of those little things bringsmore struggle and difficulty to your life.



You have to talk about the good news ofthe day. Talk about the appointment thatwent well. Talk about how you love being ontime. Talk about how good it is to be full ofhealth. Talk about the profits you want yourbusiness to achieve. Talk about the situationsand interactions you had in your day thatwent well. You have to talk about what youlove, to bring what you love to you.



If you parrot negative things and squawkabout the things you don’t love, you are liter-ally jailing yourself, like a parrot in a cage.Every time you talk about what you don’tlove, you are adding another bar to the cageand you are locking yourself away from allthe good.



People who have great lives talk moreabout what they love. By doing so, they gainunlimited access to all the good in life, andthey are as free as the birds that soar in thesky. To have a great life, break the bars of thecage that is jailing you; give love, talk onlyabout what you love, and love will set youfree!



“Then you will know the truth and thetruth will set you free.”

Jesus (circa 5 BC-circa AD 30)FOUNDER OF CHRISTIANITY, IN LUKE 6:38



Nothing is impossible for the force of love.No matter who you are, no matter what situ-ation you may be facing, the force of love canset you free.

I know of a woman who through love alonebroke the bars that caged her. She had beenleft in poverty and faced with bringing up herchildren by herself after twenty years of anabusive marriage. Despite the extreme hard-ship she faced, this woman never allowed re-sentment, anger, or any ill feeling to takeroot inside her. She never talked negativelyabout her ex-husband but instead gave onlypositive thoughts and words about her



dream of a new, perfect, beautiful husband,and her dream of traveling to Europe. Eventhough she had no money to travel, she ap-plied for and got a passport and bought smallitems she would need on her dream trip toEurope.

Well, she did meet her perfect and beauti-ful new husband. And after marrying, theymoved to her husband’s home in Spain over-looking the ocean, where she now lives inhappiness.

This woman refused to talk about what shedidn’t love but instead chose to give love andthink and talk about what she loved, and indoing so, she set herself free from hardshipand suffering, and received a beautiful life.

You can change your life, because you havean unlimited ability to think and talk about



what you love, and so you have an unlimitedability to bring everything good in life to you!However, the power you have is far greaterthan giving positive thoughts and words ofthe things you love, because the law of at-traction is responding to your thoughts andyour feelings. You have to feel love to har-ness its power!

“Love is the fulfilling of the law.”

Saint Paul (CIRCA 5-67)CHRISTIAN APOSTLE, IN ROMANS 13:10



POINTS OF POWER

Love is not weak, feeble, or soft. Loveis the positive force of life! Love isthe cause of everything positive andgood.

Everything you want to be, do, orhave comes from love.

The positive force of love can createanything good, increase the goodthings, and change anything negat-ive in your life.

Every day, in every moment, youmake the choice whether to love andharness the positive force – or not.



The law of attraction is the law oflove, and it is the law that is operat-ing in your life.

Whatever you give out in life is whatyou receive back in life. Give positiv-ity, you receive back positivity; givenegativity, you receive backnegativity.

Life doesn’t happen to you; you re-ceive everything in your life basedon what you’ve given.

Whether your thoughts and feelingsare good or bad, they return asautomatically and precisely as anecho.



People who have great lives thinkand talk about what they love morethan what they don’t love!

Talk about the good news of the day.Talk about what you love. And bringwhat you love to you.

You have an unlimited ability tothink and talk about what you love,and so you have an unlimited abilityto bring everything good in life toyou!

Love, because when you love you areusing the greatest power in theuniverse.
