Okay, okay! I’m back from my long summer vacation of posting! Yikes!
Yesterday I read the latest issue “Success Strategies” from Jack Canfield (America’s #1 Success Coach, founder of the billion-dollar book brand Chicken Soup for the Soul and a leading authority on Peak Performance and Life Success). He started the issue with a quote from Mother Teresa, which I also had just found a few weeks before. “There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.” Wow, how powerful and true.
The main article is entitled Practice Uncommon Appreciation. It is so appropriate to what Zen Rabbit and The Gratitude Cookie are doing, I have to share some of it with you.
“An important reason for being in a state of appreciation as often as possible is that when you are in such a state, you are in one of the highest emotional states possible.
When you are in a state of appreciation and gratitude, you are in a state of abundance. You are appreciating what you do instead of focusing on, and complaining about, what you don’t have. Your focus is on what you have received… and you always get more of what you focus on. And because the law of attraction states that like attracts like, the more you are in a state of gratitude, the more you will attract to be grateful for. It becomes an upward-spiraling process of ever-increasing abundance that just keeps getting better and better.
Think about it. The more grateful people are for the gifts we give them, the more inclined we are to give them more gifts. Their gratitude and appreciation reinforces our giving. The same principle holds true on a universal and spiritual level as it does on an interpersonal level.”
In appreciation of his writing, I sent him an email and shared some info about The Gratitude Cookie with him. Surprisingly, he wrote back and asked me to provide him with more details. Stay tuned for where this might go.
