As a beginning student of the Law Of Attraction, I believe this to be true. The most important first step is learning gratitude for what you already have. If you don't feel any gratitude towards God for giving you everything you have right now, why is he/she going to give you even more? Think about it. We live in a society in the United States that is very wealthy and our standards for prosperity are very high. And most industrialized nations are pretty much like us, nowadays. Their citizens, just as we do, have certain expectations about the way life is supposed to be. But there's something many of us don't think about. We compare our standard of living only to those in our society. We forget that there are still parts of the world where people don't have indoor plumbing. They don't own cell phones or computers in their homes. None of them own an Xbox or a WII game console. They don't own cars. They can't go buy clothing; they make their own. There's no grocery store for them to go buy food. They grow their own, including livestock. I suppose my message is this: I try to give thanks to God every day for every wonderful thing I've been blessed with. I know that I live in the richest country in the world and I'm damned lucky to be here. Step Number One: Thank God every day for the blessings you already have. If you have a roof over your head, food to eat, clothes to wear, and you don't have to worry about those things, you've already got more than a lot of people in this world.

yes, you are so right. We should give thanks every day for all the blessings we have already. Sometimes it is hard to remember this since we are pre-ocupied with worries and other things. Thanks for the reminder.

It is hard to remember, you're right. It's too easy to get distracted by life in general. I try every morning to say a prayer.
