The grateful mind is constantly fixed upon the best; therefore it tends to become the best; it takes the form or character of the best, and will receive the best.
Also, faith is born of gratitude. The grateful mind continually expects good things, and expectation becomes faith. The reaction of gratitude upon one’s own mind produces faith; and every outgoing wave of grateful thanksgiving increases faith. He who has no feeling of gratitude cannot long retain a living faith; and without a living faith you cannot get rich by the creative method, as we shall see in the following chapters.
It is necessary, then, to cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you; and to give thanks continuously.
And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude.
Do not waste time thinking or talking about the shortcomings or wrong actions of plutocrats or trust magnates. Their organization of the world has made your opportunity; all you get really comes to you because of them.
Do not rage against, corrupt politicians; if it were not for politicians we should fall into anarchy, and your opportunity would be greatly lessened.
Again some more very powerful prosperous ideas. Keeping your mind in a grateful frame of mind will keep the flow of things that you can stay grateful for. As soon as your mind dwells into a non-grateful frame of mind the flow stops.
The only way to get the flow going again is by being grateful.
When you are grateful to the creator for the things that you have this shows faith in the creator. And when you expect good things to happen, your expectations become faith and this faith is what allows you to become rich by the creative method which means more life for everyone involved.
There are some key things to remember here, when you are grateful for where you are at you have to let go of the things that happened in the past that may not have been pleasant for you. You are a sum total of all your experiences up to this point and that includes everything both good and bad.
The last two sentences really caused some tension in me when I read them. What about you?
I guess this would fall in line with what we put our attention on expands. So if we pay attention to the corruption and the shortcomings, I guess they will keep expanding.
But I also feel that we have a right to hold the people we put into these positions accountable and have an obligation to remove them if they are not living up to their responsibilities.
But in the end it is our focus on our contribution to the world that creates our riches to come to us.

But the value of gratitude does not consist solely in getting you more blessings in the future. Without gratitude you cannot long keep from dissatisfied thought regarding things as they are.
The moment you permit your mind to dwell with dissatisfaction upon things as they are, you begin to lose ground. You fix attention upon the common, the ordinary, the poor, and the squalid and mean; and your mind takes the form of these things. Then you will transmit these forms or mental images to the Formless, and the common, the poor, the squalid, and mean will come to you.
To permit your mind to dwell upon the inferior is to become inferior and to surround yourself with inferior things.
On the other hand, to fix your attention on the best is to surround yourself with the best, and to become the best.
The Creative Power within us makes us into the image of that to which we give our attention. We are Thinking Substance, and thinking substance always takes the form of that which it thinks about.
As I read these sentences before I start to write these blog post, my heart begins to beat with a little more purpose. Read these sentences very carefully.
Whatever you fix attention on will expand in your life. When you focus on your desire with intensity and take focus action towards its achievement to the exclusion everything else you are thinking and acting in the certain way.
As soon as you bring your focus on to the things that you do not want, you bring more of that into your reality.
I love this paragraph:
The Creative Power within us makes us into the image of that to which we give our attention. We are Thinking Substance, and thinking substance always takes the form of that which it thinks about.
If we are not currently getting the results we seek, we need to:
#1 Start to change the way we think about what we want followed by
#2 Different action
The only way to get a different result is by changing our thinking and action, there is no other way!
