The 24 Hour Gratitude Challenge

"thank you," that would suffice." ~ Meister Eckhart

Gratitude is one of the highest vibrations on the planet. It is a close cousin to love and comes spontaneously from opening your heart to love itself. The energy of gratitude is soooo powerful that it instantly opens your heart, and connects you to the Divine power in all of existence. In every moment you have the opportunity to be grateful for what is showing up. The real question is HOW to always remain in this constant state of appreciation, without having to continuously reboot and refocus your mind back on what you're thankful for.
The secret to this answer is in increasing the general vibration and consciousness within your body. I invite you to take on my 24 Hour Gratitude Challenge to upgrade your life and start living in Gratitude-Ville! It starts first thing tomorrow morning before you get out of bed. You simply put on your "Gratitude Glasses" and begin SEEING everything in your life from this Grace-filled state. As you practice your new all-seeing "Gratitude Vision" you are strengthening your ability to relax and experience every moment as perfect and Divine. This causes your body to feel deep sensations of relief and joy for life, turning you into a "grateful magnet"!
Now, here comes the fun part! Wear your Gratitude Glasses all day long for the next 24 hours. No matter what happens, meet it with this new perception. By perceiving all experiences and events with joy, appreciation and trust you will jumpstart your inner gratitude engine. After 24 hours you will drop into an automatic gratitude vibration and have enough momentum to glide into another 24 hours, which will allow you to go through the rest of the week with ease and Grace.
"To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven." ~ Johannes A. Gaertner
If for some bizarre reason your Gratitude Glasses fall off because of some outer circumstance was not in alignment with your expectations, simply recognize that this was not what your ego wanted, yet was what Grace required for the good of ALL concerned. Sometimes we cannot see the bigger picture why "bad things happen to good people", yet as far as the soul is concerned on its infinite journey, it is all karmic fuel for the fire of one's spiritual awakening. By accepting the soul purpose of each negative experience is to push you deeper inside to find your greatest source of gratitude, you can welcome them all with open arms.
There is a gift and a blessing in everything. Even in those moments that appear the bleakest. The secret is to SEEK the gift and give thanks for something in those difficult moments. When you begin to do this, and truly live AS the vibration of gratitude itself. This is when miraculous things happen! You will see after you 3rd day in a row of living in a state of Gratitude that the world lovingly supports your every wish and need. A natural thankful energy for every occurrence will spontaneously arise by your third day and you'll be astounded how amazing life truly is!
Gratitude is the key to living a happy life that is truly fulfilling. When we are not practicing it, then it doesn't matter how much success we achieve in the outer world, or desires that we manifest. The ego is constantly on the prowl for something better, faster and more amazing and can never be satisfied. By choosing to be grateful for what is here now, then no matter how you manifest or don't manifest, you will be happy with your life no matter how it turns out.
