The Key Elements of Gratitude

Well it has been a while since I have written. Caught up in the holiday joy. All is well. I hope each of you have had a great holiday and continue to enjoy the holiday season. It truly is the time of joy, gratitude and abundance.

I channeled this piece the other day and wanted to share it with you.

Gratitude, Abundance and Manifestation are all connected.

Let’s start with gratitude. Being grateful for what you have is a key point. Gratitude is not only being grateful for your physical and material things but also grateful for your challenges and obstacles as well as blessings. When you are truly living in a state of gratitude then anything is possible. The more grateful you are, the more you can come from a place of love.

Key elements of living a life of gratitude are forgiveness, of others and particularly yourself. When you are being right, holding on to something blaming or angry at someone or yourself, there is no love present in that moment. When love is not present, we are not in a state of gratitude and there for halt the manifesting of our desires.

We exist moment by moment and there for create moment by moment. Expressing your gratitude for a moment is only that. It is an ongoing creation. So is forgiveness, compassion and understanding. It is all created by the moment, When you ongoingly express gratitude the universe gives you more to be grateful for. If you are having difficulty being grateful for a person or situation, then look at where you could bring compassion, forgiveness, understanding, grace or love. When love is not present, give something up and then be grateful for the lesson learned.

Everything that is handed to us is a lesson of gratitude. If you can be grateful for the things in your life you love, then you can be grateful for the things in your life you don’t love. It is all a choice. I didn’t ask for cancer, but I am grateful at the lessons I learned out of it. If you can express your gratitude daily, you will have more peace of mind. Many use Thanksgiving as an opportunity to express gratitude, but what if you expressed it everyday. Your life will be filled with love.

Sometimes people do or say things that make us angry and we hold on to that anger. The faster you can come from forgiveness, compassion and gratitude, the faster you will have peace within.


When you are full of gratitude, there is a lightness about you. Gratitude is from love.Returning to love is key. If you are always coming from love then the universe will expand your awareness.

Abundance is all around us. The more grateful you are, the more abundance you can bring in. Abundance is energy, You either live in a world of abundance or a world of lack. You can not live in the in between. Again it is moment by moment. This moment you may be in a state of abundance and in a moment tomorrow you may live in a state of lack. It is always a choice. The more you focus on abundance, the more abundance grows. The more you focus on lack, the more lack grows. Abundance is love, joy and gratitude based and lack is fear based. When you are in a state of lack, the energy of abundance can not flow freely.

Abundance is not something that is limited to only a few people. It is available to everyone any one at any time.

In fact, if you look in your day to day life, abundance exists everywhere, even in the subconscious. There is also an abundance of friends, love, creativity. Abundance does not necessarily equate monetary wealth but it could.

When in gratitude, you have an abundance of joy, of courage, of grace, of harmony, or balance, You have an abundance of happiness, bliss and love. When you live there, you can then begin the beautiful power of manifesting the things you desire. Even the material things come to fruition from a state of gratitude.

Some people think that by wishing for something, it will manifest. While that is partly true to some extent, there are other factors at play.

So you are living a life of gratitude, you bring in an abundance of joy, love and peace, now what.

Well the higher and closer you are to living a life of joy the easier and faster that you will be able to manifest. Joy comes from gratitude.

So you could say, the more grateful you are the more you can manifest. Tweak your gratitude and all the things you are grateful for and see your life take off. Let go of resistance, anger and fear and see your heart open.
Manifesting is simple. It is a powerful intention that comes forth. It may not happen instantaneously but what ever you give your thoughts to will grow. The more you forgive, the more you create the more you come from love, the more you will manifest


Hope this gives you something to think about. Gratitude is the key to living a life of joy, abundance, manifestation and miracles.
