I will be going away for a while. Not that a while was ever a short time in this diary.

Gratitude is THE most important thing in a persons life. When you realize this, you see it and understand it almost instantly.

I have, and for a very long time tried to force this onto others. The world would be a much better place if everyone was more grateful.

The Cause and Effect. Gratitude is part of The Science of Getting Rich. Allow me to explain this to you. What you send out, is what you receive. Therefore, the moment you become more grateful for the things you have, and begin to appreciate them more, the more you will see of them. However, if you are ingrateful for what you have, and 'won't be grateful until you have more' will only dig you farther in the hole.

You can, literally, change your life by becoming more grateful. I have, and know very few who attempted this. I write in a journal, everyday, of things I'm grateful for. I start with three things in the morning. And gradually as the day goes by, I make it a habit to point out all the little things that make me happy. Whether it was something like; I got a new pet, or something as little as getting a compliment, I write it down, and instantly, by focusing in on the good, I become happy. This will become second nature over time.

But sometimes, you need to be aware. Ever hear: Too much of a good thing? Well sometimes it can be true, but in being grateful for these good things will, ultimately, get you more.

I'll be back in a few days time, with, I'm sure, nothing more important to say.
