Examples of People - Attitude of Gratitude - Giving Thanks
Rhonda Byrne, Author of "The Secret", Executive Producer of Movie www.TheSecret.tv
"The Secret" Book and Movie is about Stories of People who have Received Divine Help (Ideas, Connections, etc.) to Get what they Wanted that Helped them to "Enjoy Life"...Help with the Career they Want doing the Work they Enjoy, Help with Living in the Location they Enjoy, Help with Finding a Mate who Enjoys the Same Work/Career and Recreation.
The Basic Principle of "The Secret" is:
ASK * BELIEVE (Waiting with Gratitude) * RECEIVE
Rhonda: "With all that I have Read and with all that I have Experienced in my own Life using The Secret, the Power of Gratitude stands above Everything Else. If you only do One Thing with the Knowledge of The Secret, use Gratitude until it becomes Your Way of Life.
The Day we Filmed James Ray sharing his Powerful *Exercise of Gratitude* is one I will never forget. From that day on, I made James' Process my Life. Every Morning, I do not get out of Bed until I have Felt the Feelings of Gratitude for this Brand New Day and All that I am Gradeful for in my Life.
Then as I get out of Bed, when One Foot touches the ground I say, "Thank," and "You" as my Second Foot touches the ground. With each Step I take on my way to the Bathroom I say "Thank You". I continue to Say and Feel "Thank You" as I am showering and geting ready. By the time I am ready for the day, I have said "Thank You" hundreds of times.
Whether you want to Regain Perfect Eyesight, Dissolve Disease and Restore Well-Being, turn Poverty into Abundance, REVERSE AGING and Degeneration, or Eradicate any Negativity focus on and Love the Presence within you and Perfection will manifest."

James Ray, Author of "The Science of Success" www.JamesRay.com
James: "Gratitude has been such a Powerful Exercise for me. Every morning I get up and say "Thank You". Every morning when my Feet hit the floor, "Thank You".
And then I start running through what I'm Grateful for, as I'm brushing my teeth and doing the things I do in the morning. And I'm not just thinking about them and doing some rote routine.
I'm putting it out there and I'm Feeling the Feelings of Gratitude."

Joseph Murphy, Ph.D., Author of "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind"
Joseph: "In the Bible, Paul recommends that we make known our Requests with Praise and Thanksgiving. ("In Everything Give Thanks" - Paul, 1 Thessalonians 5:18) Some Extraordinary Results follow this Simple Method of Prayer.
The Thankful Heart is always Close to the Creative Forces of the Universe, causing Countless Blessings to Flow toward it by the Law of Reciprocal Relationship, based on a Cosmic Law of Action and Reaction.
For Instance, a Father PROMISES his Son a Car for Graduation - the Boy has Not yet Received the Car, but he is Very THANKFUL and HAPPY, and is as JOYOUS as though he had actually Received the Car.
He Knows his Father will Fulfill his Promise, and he is Full of GRATITUDE and JOY even though he has Not yet Received the Car, objectively speaking. He has, however, Received it with JOY and THANKFULNESS in his MIND.
I shall Illustrate how Mr. Broke applied this Technique with Excellent Results. He said, "Bills are Piling Up, I am Out of Work, I have 3 Children and No Money. What shall I Do?" - Regularly EVERY NIGHT and MORNING for a Period of about 3 WEEKS, he Repeated the Words,
"Thank You, Father, for my Wealth", in a Relaxed, Peaceful Manner until the FEELING or MOOD of THANKFULNESS Dominated his MIND. He Imagined he was Addressing the Infinite Power and Intelligence within him Knowing, of course, the he could Not See the Creative Intelligence or Infinite Mind.
He was Seeing with the Inner Eye of Spiritual Perception, Realizing that his THOUGHT-IMAGE of WEALTH was the FIRST CAUSE, Relative to the Money, Position and Food he Needed. His THOUGHT-FEELING was the Substance of Wealth untrammeled by antecedent Conditions of any kind.
By Repeating, "Thank You, Father", over and over again, his MIND and HEART were Lifted Up to the Point of ACCEPTANCE, and when Fear, Thoughts of Lack, Poverty and Distress came into his Mind, he would say, "Thank You, Father" as often as Necessary. He Knew that as he Kept Up the THANKFUL ATTITUDE he would RECONDITION his MIND to the Idea of Wealth, which is what Happened.
The Sequel to his Prayer is very Interesting. After Praying in the above mentioned Manner, he Met a Former Employer of his on the Street whom he had Not Seen for 20 Years. The Man offered him a Very Lucrative Position and Advanced him $500 on a Temporary Loan.
Today, Mr. Broke is Vice-President of the Company for which he Works. His recent Remark to me was,
"I shall Never Forget the Wonders of "Thank You, Father". It has Worked Wonders for Me."

The Loving Heavenly Father of ALL Humans
Joel's NEW Ministry is Teaching People about a Kind, Loving Heavenly Father who "Wants" to Help ALL of His Human Children.
In the Chapter "Increasing in Favor" in his book, "Your Best Life Now" Joel wrote:
"...Developing a Fresh Vision for Your Life is Discovering How to Experience more of God's Favor. The Bible clearly states, 'God has crowned us with glory and Honor.' (Psalms 8:5) The word Honor could also be translated as 'Favor' and Favor means 'to Assist (Help), to Provide with Special Advantages and to Receive Preferential Treatment'.
In other words, God *Wants* to make Your Life Easier. He Wants to Assist (Help) You, to Promote You, to Give You Advantages. He Wants You to have Preferential Treatment.
But if we're going to Experience more of God's Favor (Help), we must Live more 'Favor-Minded'.
To be Favor-Minded simply means that we Expect God's Special Help, and we are Releasing our Faith, Knowing that God *Wants* to Assist Us.
Let me Encourage You to Start Expecting and Declaring God's Favor in Your Life. Every morning before you leave the house, say something like this:
"Father, I Thank You that I have Your Favor (Help). Your Favor is Opening Doors of Opportunity. Your Favor is Bringing Success into My Life. Your Favor is Causing People to Want to Help Me.
Then go out with Confidence, Expecting Good Things to Happen."
