Still on the topic of Rhonda Byrne's "The Magic".
"Gratitude is riches. Complaint is poverty."
I couldn't agree more with Christian Hymnal. Even more so in view of the latest global financial crisis.
Rhonda takes an interesting approach here by asking you to think back to your childhood and all the things you received ...free. Sure, your parents or caretakers paid but essentially you received it free of charge.
Only in counting these blessings does one start to realize just how much there is to be grateful for. I thoroughly enjoyed the few minutes I set aside for this exercise.
Another top tip - and this note I see now whenever I open my wallet now - is a little post-it note on a banknote to remind you of your "riches".
Mine reads: "Thank you for all the money and riches I've been given throughout my Life!"
A simple but potent reminder that all is well :)
