I wish to live in gratitude, with happiness – and put the gifts God has given me to the greatest possible good use
~ Kimi Wei
Get what you need: ask, release and focus on gratitude
Need keeps you stuck
As long as you need something, you will not have it. The energy of your need pushes away the reality of whatever you seek.
Instead of focusing on what you need, focus on what you have. Because somewhere in whatever you have is the pathway to whatever you desire.
That’s why gratitude is so empowering. Gratitude shines a bright light on your resources and possibilities, and enables you to make good use of them.
Focus on what you have, and on what you can do. No matter what you seek, no matter how far away it may seem, there is something you can do right now to move yourself closer.
The Great Healers
Focus on the moment you are in and the enjoyment of life you can experience in that moment. Watch while a string of enjoying moments transform hours, days, weeks, months into a pillow magically whisking you away from loss, pain and frustration. Enjoyment, small happinesses, gratitude for life and time … are all great healers.

Giving thanks may make you happier
Did you know there’s science to being happy? Watch Harvard researcher Nancy Etcoff’s TED talk on The surprising science of happiness.
A study administered by two scientists whose work focuses specifically on how gratitude affects happiness – psychologists, Dr. Robert A. Emmons of the University of California and Dr. Michael E. McCullough of the University of Miami – proved that expressions of gratitude (you thanking someone else, or G-d, or yourself) increased people’s own happiness and enhanced their lives in various ways.
