I am sharing a short retelling of something that happened a few months ago, which has strengthened my belief in gratitude, giving, and the law of attraction.<\/p>\n

I found myself in a situation where, due to a number of reasons, things were a bit stretched financially. Then an unexpected bill came in that needed to be paid, so I found myself overstretched. If I didn\u2019t source some extra cash, I\u2019d be unable to pay all my monthly bills.<\/p>\n

Initially, I panicked, got angry about my situation, and kept thinking about everything that could go wrong if I couldn\u2019t pay on time.<\/p>\n

After a few deep breaths, I had a bit of a lightbulb moment! I thought back to everything I had learnt about gratitude when I read Rhonda Byrne\u2019s book The Magic<\/a>. I also remembered Deepak Chopra\u2019s advice in his book “Creating Affluence”. He suggested asking the question \u201cHow can I help?\u201d<\/p>\n

So as I stood in my kitchen, took another deep breath, and looked around me, feeling grateful for everything I laid my eyes on. My food, my water, my appliances, my utensils, the contents of my cupboards, the contents of my fridge, the electricity running my appliances – the list went on and on. I felt gratitude for my health and positivity, and genuinely felt my mood lift. I then said very clearly in my mind the words \u201cHow can I help today?\u201d and then went about my tasks, feeling much more optimistic that everything was working out just fine for me.<\/p>\n

Thirty minutes later, I had a call from my boss asking if I could take on some extra hours at work to cover for a colleague who needed to take some time off for a short while. It was the perfect resolution for my tricky situation! Thank you, thank you, thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
