DOING THE WORK
GETTING CLEAR
It can be difficult to get clear about what you do want until you clear out what you don't want.
Unfortunately, we can become so focused on what we don't want that we obscure what we truly desire. This week our work is about getting clear.

Using a sheet of lined paper complete the following statement 9 times.
"I don't want:

Opportunities, relationships, even money flowed my way when I learned to be grateful no matter what happened in my life.
Oprah Winfrey
Gratitude means giving thanks from your heart. When you do this, energy flows from your heart and activates certain responses from other people as well as the Universe. If you pay lip-service to gratitude or feel you ought to be thankful, you words and thoughts do not draw the same response.
. . . When you send out heartfelt thanks to the Universe for the blessings you have received, the divine energy lovingly responds by giving you even more blessings.
Heartfelt gratitude is a key to abun- dance. It unlocks the great resources of the Universe.
Diana Cooper
A Little Light on the Spiritual Laws
Thank you is the bridge from where you are now, to the life of your dreams. . . . When you understand that the Universe is within you, and by its very nature it is for you wanting you to have more life, more health, more love, more beauty, and more of everything you want . . . then you will feel genuine Gratitude to the Universe for everything you receive in your life and you will have established a personal relationship between you and the Universe!
. . . The more genuine Gratitude you feel toward the Universe for everything you receive the closer your relationship becomes with the Universe. In that moment you can reach the level of unlimited abundance from the Magic of Gratitude.
Rhonda Byrne,

In You God, there are no limitations.
I know that You are fully vested in my highest and greatest good. Thank You God, for the infinite ways You show up for me, in me, as me, and through me. Thank You God, that You are greater than my limited understanding of Your ways.
Thank you God, that You are not confined to a book, what I read on a page, or experience in a building. You are the living, breathing, viable Force and Being that exists within me. You are bigger than any problem or issue I face. You are greater than any block, negative force or energy that appears to be hindering me from my destiny. You are the Source and Supply, who meets every need, as You see fit. You are the Well that never runs dry. Your blessings are non-expendable.
Your compassion has no bottom. The width of Your mercy cannot be contained. The height of Your goodness reaches into the heavens. Your love for me has no end. The demonstration of Your grace in my life cannot be compared. Your passion for me cannot be extinguished. Our connection extends beyond eternity. Your friendship brings me joy and laughter. The light of Your love outshines all darkness.
Your possibilities in, as and through me, cannot be measured.
God, You are limitless! And as You are, so AM I.
Ashe. Amen.
Rev. Manazerine Baptiste

. . . gratitude is more than a word or a gesture. Being truly grateful for the gift of life must be an experience.
We must learn to experience gratitude as an experience of being alive. When we become grateful to this degree we will begin to notice the small things.
Gratitude is a state of consciousness. It is an experience of living in a state of joy.
Gratitude is like a magnet that attracts more of it to itself; the more grateful you are, the more you will receive to be grateful for.
Electricity does not care if you believe in it or not. When you want to experience light in a dark room, the only requirement is that you flip the switch. The electric current moving through the wires does not care if you like it, if you know how it works, if you believe in its power. . . . Life works the same way. It does not care if you like it. Life is not concerned about convincing you that it is good or abundant. Life will not stop because you do not believe in it. And whether you believe in life or not, you will not rust or fall apart if you stand still for five years. The only requirement for you to live a full and valuable life is for you to flip the switch, to make the connection. Gratitude is the connection between who and what you are and the full magnificence of life.
