My mother used to say, “Once you get something, you need to say thank you!” Naturally, there‟s more to it than that, and my mother was merely half correct, however at any rate she was on the correct course. “Now, hold off a minute,” you may say. “I work break my back on my business and trying to be successful in life and I‟ve got the crocked back to prove it! Who or what am I supposed to be stating „Thank you‟ to, and how come?” We‟ll progress to the “who” later, but for the “how come” we must look at the sort of universe we live in. We do not live in an existence of random accident or luck. We live in a world that operates by laws; predictable, repeatable, perceivable laws. There's a law of gratitude and appreciation, and if you're to get the results you are looking for, it's utterly essential that you ought to abide by this law.

Now, what is this law of gratitude and appreciation and how does it function? It's a practice of the law of cause and effect: The law of gratitude and appreciation is the innate principle that action and response are forever equal and in opposing directions. Here‟s what this entails – we understand that everything we place attention and emotional energy on, great or foul, will one of these days come out in our lives. The universe, and our subconscious, doesn‟t recognize great from foul, and they address fear and exuberance precisely the same. If we‟re placing energy on it, we‟re establishing an order for it.
