What are Gratitude Dollars?

They are sort of lookalike dollars that contribute real power to your life when properly used. I'll tell you how to claim your Gratitude Dollars, FREE, in just a moment.

BUT FIRST, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE ‛WHY' OF GRATITUDE DOLLARS.

You've probably heard that in order to get more in life you need to be thankful for what you already have. I can hear my mother now, "What'a mean you don't like your shoes? The world is full of kids who don't have shoes. Be grateful. Otherwise you may never get another pair."

We've heard this ‛be thankful' law so much it's like, "Okay, tomorrow I'll start really being thankful. But today I'm busy." Consequently we shut the door in the face of a lot of prosperity.

DO YOU HAVE SOME NEEDS IN YOUR LIFE?

What if you found out that many of your needs could be met by simply going to the top of the Empire State Building in New York City and spitting into the wind with your fingers crossed. Would you do it? Darn straight you would!

The gratitude program I'm going to outline doesn't require either the expense or time of a New York trip. In fact, it's free with no strings. Plus I absolutely guarantee it can start exploding your prosperity.

BEGIN BY WITHDRAWING YOUR GRATITUDE DOLLARS FROM MY WEB SITE

Remember, these dollars are free...now and always. And you won't be added to a mailing list. In fact, I won't even know if or when you visit, withdraw your dollars and disappear. Unless, of course, you stop to subscribe to my free ezine, THE EMPOWERED MATURITY PAGE.

Here's how to obtain your dollars. Go to my web site, http://www.dougcgrant.com. Click the Site Map listed in the left-hand panel. Scan down the list of pages to ‛Gratitude Dollars'. Click this link and the dollars are yours.

These dollars are in the form of a PDF file (Acrobat Reader). The file consists of five Gratitude Dollars ready for printing. I recommend that you print out at least three pages giving you a total of fifteen dollars. Cut them apart and you're ready to begin getting thankful.

HERE'S HOW TO ADD POWER TO YOUR DOLLARS

You will note that each Dollar includes a blank line. Write a word or two on that line for something you are grateful for. It could be health, sunshine, stars, church, a car...whatever. Don't go into detail. It will only clutter up the dollar.

Fill in ten of your fifteen dollars. I know, you could probably fill more and will in the future. But ten is a good start.

At least twice a day, thumb through your Gratitude Dollars. If you're alone, say something like ‛Thanks for' and read out loud the word you've written. It will take only about 30 seconds. Far less time than visiting the Empire State Building.

When you think of something new to be thankful for, fill out a blank Gratitude Dollar and add it to your pile. If your pile gets too big, take some of the dollars out. You can always rotate them back in from time to time.

THAT'S IT!

Simple. Effective. It works because my mother said it would. I also read it in the Bible and every self-help book on my shelf.

When you live in a state of thanksgiving, doors of prosperity will open for you. Maybe not right away. Particularly if you've been a chronic hand-wringer. But open they will. It might be next week, next month or maybe not for a year. However, you'll be wonderfully surprised at the many doors that your new attitude of gratitude will open.

SO START!

It costs nothing. Obligates you to nothing. And can open a new world of prosperity for you.

The only thing required is consistency and that becomes easy once you've established the habit of counting your Gratitude Dollars at least twice a day. More is better.

Carry your dollars with you and use them to fill empty moments. For example, when sitting at a red light, waiting on the telephone or even just walking down the street. Every time you use them, your gratitude attitude grows.

Remember, the big difference between lack and prosperity is often gratitude failure. Invest some Gratitude Dollars into your life and turn that failure into profit.
