		<description><![CDATA[<p>Leslie Fieger is THE wealth coach and Law of Attraction mentor. I came across Leslie&#8217;s ebooks on creating wealth years and years ago. Little did I know at that time I would ever have further future contact with Leslie. I decided to share the following YOUTUBE videos because I believe Leslie&#8217;s &#8220;gospel&#8221; of abundance and prosperity will lift any person up and forward in their life&#8230;</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>This article was written for The Gratitude Book Blog by Mr Steve G Jones - Clinical Hypnotherapist M.Ed. You can find out more about Steve G Jones at <a href="http://www.stevegjones.com/">http://www.stevegjones.com</a></p>
<p>In the four weeks that followed, I was able to reframe the way she felt<br />
about eating right, exercising, and taking care of herself in general. After<br />
only six sessions, I told Jen that I had done all the work we needed to do.<br />
Last week, Jen sent me an e-mail with a picture. You see, I had programmed her to continue to eat right, exercise, and take care of herself. Well, the picture she sent looked like a model! Jen had gone from 325 lbs. to 115 lbs! The e-mail was even more inspirational. Here&#8217;s what she wrote:</p>
<p>Dear Steve, It has been a year since our last session. The pounds have been consistently dropping. I eat differently and don&#8217;t even try to. I exercise three times a week and love it. Most importantly, my view of life is completely different now. I went from being overweight and suicidal to being thin, sexy, beautiful and totally confident. My mom is happier than ever and so is my husband. That&#8217;s right! I am married. He&#8217;s 6&#8242;4, an architect, and wants\u003cbr /\&gt;kids. I feel like I\\&#8217;m living the life of my dreams. Hypnosis is amazing. You\u003cbr /\&gt;taught me that I could do ANYTHING that I BELIEVE I can do. You are right. Feel free to share this letter with others. I want the world to know about\u003cbr /\&gt;the power of hypnosis and the power of the human mind!\u003cbr /\&gt;\u003cbr /\&gt;With much love and respect,\u003cbr /\&gt;Jen\u003cbr /\&gt;\u003cbr /\&gt;In my line of work I get to see this happen often. Jen is one of the many\u003cbr /\&gt;people who decided to make a powerful change in her life.Hypnosis helped, but the change was really due to her commitment to herself.I hope that the sharing of Jen&#8217;s journey will inspire you to create whatever powerful change you desire in your life. There are no obstacles, except the ones YOU create in your mind. Remove those obstacles, and you will easily live the life of YOUR dreams.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Wow! What a terrific article in the post below http://www.gratitudebook.com/?p=16 This is from quality Life Transformation author Jorj Elprehzleinn&#8230;a most abundance inducing read!</p>
<p>I remember the day I discovered a powerful process called releasing. This is because three days after finding out about it and using the &#8220;Sedona Method&#8221; I had given up a heavy smoking addiction and within 2 weeks had found the woman who I am still married to today 6 years later. I am also releasing every day, have been around the world five times, earn an income from home, got offered a $100k per year job, had a daughter and much much more&#8230;</p>
<p>This was without doing it very well!</p>
<p>I highly recommend that you check out Larry Crane&#8217;s Release Technique which is his teaching of the Sedona Method as he learned how to facilitate that from the man who put together the Releasing Formula, Lester Levenson.</p>
<p>Just click on the link below and you will gain access to a 100% FREE 5 lesson ecourse on The Release Technique. I guarantee you will learn profound knowledge about yourself and be able to change you life rapidly if you do this course. I did, and so can you&#8230;Give up your skepticism and do something that could remarkable shoot your destiny forwards in more positive ways than you can imagine&#8230;click below</p>

<tr>
<td height="111">
<p align="left"><font size="4" color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>I am writing to you today to convey <u>thought forms to you that are so well defined, so concise, and so clear that if you connect with them you can enjoy a most marvelous success </u>using mind power to focus your thoughts and materialize a good life.</strong></font></p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p align="left"><strong><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Even though I have spent decades practicing and teaching life coaching and using mind power to form thoughts to consciously create success for myself and tens of thousands of other people around the world it was only a few weeks ago that I put two things together that made an explosion in my own work so devastatingly awesome that all that I was doing before shattered and is now re-assembling in a new and better structure.</font></strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">This new structure is so much more potent for manifesting and it is so much simpler. Why? Because it uses resources meaning thought forms that are already out there! For so long it has been about forming and focusing my own thoughts and those of my clients into the imagination of what they desire to manifest.</font></strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yet now I realize just like people in business recommend to use OPM (other people&#8217;s money) in the art and science of manifesting we can use other people&#8217;s thoughts! </font></strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">There is a collective bank of thoughtforms that is out there in the atmosphere that we are already tuned in to. The idea of having a million dollars in your bank accounts? That was not your idea now was it?</font></strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">And what about the idea of having total health, and the ideal romantic, sexual relationship? The car of your dreams?</font></strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Think about it. These are thought forms. Thoughts are what creates the world according to the wisdom of Buddha. Do you fight against the collective thought form to have a million dollars or are you into having that for you?</font></strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">My experience tells me that we fight it. We feel it out there, but we do not let it be connected to us personally. Now imagine if all these things were actually yours and tell me if you would say yes to all of this of part of this?</font></strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">1. You own your dream car fully paid.</font></strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">2. You have a million dollars in your bank account.</font></strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">3. You are in the sexual romantic relationship of your dreams.</font></strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">4. You have dream career.</font></strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">5. You own a dream home, fully paid. </font></strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">6. You own your dream wardrobe.</font></strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">7. You are totally healthy. </font></strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">8. You have delicious, beautiful, nutritious food at every meal.</font></strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">9. All the air, water, and earth on the planet is clean.</font></strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">10. You are in good standing in society and with your government .</font></strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">11. You have mutually rewarding and satisfying relationships with friends, associates, and relatives.</font></strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">12. You have a completed list of things you have accomplished that makes you proud of yourself.</font></strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Would you say yes to the total package? Do you recognize that these are things that almost everyone would like to have as a life experience? Let me tell you a big secret. Those words, are all thought forms. Whatever you focus on you attract more and more of it into your life.</font></strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">How about if from now on in addition to whatever else you are trying to make happen in your life you realize and accept that these common thoughtforms are your dreams too. And make them come true? Thought power really does work. </font></strong></p>
<p align="left"><strong><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">I hope this article has helped you to see something that was right there all along that can make your manifesting success soar. Just focus on the collective &#8220;dream package&#8221; and enjoy the results!</font></strong></p>

<p>Doesn&#8217;t it seem that life is rushing past us at an increasingly rapid pace nowadays?</p>
<p>And yet, if I can get myself to stop long enough to feel how I feel, in truth, my pace and the world&#8217;s haven&#8217;t realy changed at all. It&#8217;s only when I feel inadequate to the demands I have a greed to place upon myself that suddenly life seems to rush by me.</p>
<p>So how to deal with that?</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what I employ: clear boundaries, and gratitude.</p>
<p>Why clear boundaries? Because I need to know what I do NOT want before I can choose what I do prefer. For example, I could say that I do NOT want an old, crumbling car that costs me hundreds a month in repairs and time lost to me while it&#8217;s in the garage being fixed, nor do I want a feeling of financial helplessness, or to be treated with disrespect. I think just about anyone can relate to those examples.</p>
<p>So what do I prefer? Some might say a new car. I prefer a new used car—maybe a year or two old, so the depreciation isn&#8217;t so extreme. I prefer it to be in excellent running condition, clean, comfortable to drive, good mileage and great driving visibility. And I prefer financial stability and to be treated with respect.</p>
<p>Those are the defining parameters. Then, I start to generate feelings of gratitude for those things—whether physical form (car) or emotion (financial safety), or attitude (respect). Sometimes I have a difficult time moving from the anger or resentment I might feel from not having what I want to feeling gratitude. I have a very choice little trigger—I ask myself what my dog would feel right now! She was my angel—I wouldn&#8217;t be alive but for her during some very hard times. Just thinking about her places me right smack into a feeling of gratitude, just to have been fortunate enough to have had her as my ally. </p>
<p>Then I take it further. I ask how she&#8217;d feel about riding along in my close-to-new, cream-colored Jaguar with the easy-to-clean faux leather seats. She&#8217;d be in doggy heaven! I can see her big brown eyes gazing at me and loving me down to my toes. There&#8217;s some gratitude for you! What would she feel about having the saftey of a home and being treated well? Gratitude! Not exactly an outright thank-you kind of feeling, but an inner glow, an inner feeling of, Well, of course! This is how it&#8217;s supposed to be,&quot; mixed with, &quot;Wow! I Looooove this! I can see her smiling right now. </p>
<p>Why gratitude? Because when we are closed off and emitting anger and resentment, who&#8217;d want to come near? No one! But when we feel grateful, we radiate an energy of open possibility, and all the good things that have been ready to flow to us do so. Gratitude in life is as necessary as blood in our body. Remember that the word gratitude itself comes from the Latin word meaning grace! Who wouldn&#8217;t want a little grace? What can you use to trigger your gratitude? The face of a beautiful child? A sunset? A hug? A hefty check? Find whatever it is for you and embrace it, train your mind to go to that idea whenever you want, and use that trigger every day. Radiate your heart to the rest of us—we need it! And when you do, it reminds us that we can do it, too. Thanks for being you!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>Wow! I am really feeling the difference right now&#8230;of <strong>NOT</strong> applying the gratitude habit in my life. As the <strong>author</strong> of &#8220;The Gratitude Book&#8221; I really <strong>oughta </strong>[sic] be practising what I preach&#8230;</p>
<p>But to be frank and honest - I aint! And am feeling the consequences&#8230;</p>
<p>This is where my message is strongest though&#8230;</p>
<p>This <strong>gratitude blog</strong>, other businesses and lines in which I operate&#8230;memories, dashed hopes and the fact I&#8217;m doing a fast probably contribute to the fact I just aint been being grateful lately&#8230;</p>
<p>Why is that the strength of my message to you in &#8220;The <strong>Gratitude Book</strong>&#8221; &#8212;</p>
<p>The reason for that is that I believe that not only are there benefits of practising gratitude some of which are touched upon in the special report section of The Gratitude Book, but there I think there are consequences of not being grateful&#8230;on a daily basis&#8230;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s like excercising. Imagine that you have a &#8220;<strong>gratitude muscle</strong>&#8221; - <em>you don&#8217;t use it, you lose it</em>&#8230;so to speak&#8230;</p>
<p>And if you don&#8217;t stretch and build that gratitude muscle, it withers and with it, self doubt can creep in, fears, worries, negative thinking - you know&#8230;</p>
<p>What is the solution? Get back to gratitude and get into action&#8230;simple and easy, yet so profound&#8230;</p>
<p>So I&#8217;m going to state a <strong>gratitude list</strong> right now&#8230;</p>
<p>1. Having some websites</p>
<p>2. A family who love and care about me</p>
<p>3. Lots of books on subjects I respect and like</p>
<p>4. A good academic background</p>
<p>5. The desire to succeed and win</p>
<p>6. Children of my own</p>
<p>7. Loving parents who took care of me</p>
<p>8. Food in the fridge</p>
<p>9. The Boob Tube (TV - although should be throwing it out!)</p>
<p>10. To live in a democratic country</p>
<p><em>Have you made your gratitude list today?</em></p>
