The Mastering of Gratitude is not just about being thankful for that which you desire and receive, it is the ability and wisdom to be equally thankful for that, which is taken away and creates disappointment or great pain. It is about Trust—it is not about understanding— that awareness comes later.

Gratitude is about turning heartaches into heart-breakthroughs.

Mastered Gratitude is when the very person, place or thing that we had become attached to is ripped away from us, and instead of falling to our knees in anguish, we fall to our knees in the deepest unquestioning trust. We have faith that there is a Higher Good; divine information that we are not privileged to, and in these moments of pain when we want to tear out our heart as not to feel—that moment when the logical mind finds absolutely no reason to believe—yet it does.
When the heart and mind unite acknowledging that there is something so much bigger than we can humanly grasp playing out in the cosmic realm although our heartache is unbearable or our fear is immeasurable—this is the Holy Instant—the cracking of the shell between our God and us.
It is in these moments of absolute surrender that we have the ability to hear a heavenly choir that awakens our hearts to a new level and literally takes our breath away. The song of the Angels through our heavenly connection is so sweet and intense it defies description, for it is like nothing we have ever heard before. Have I heard this choir? Yes, but only once and it was so breathtaking and extraordinarily beautiful I will be humbled and impacted by it forever.
There is a lot of attention and excitement right now on the awareness of manifesting the very life you want, providing the steps to fulfill your every dream and desire. There is a group of people successfully bringing this time proven method to mass awareness through their movie “The Secret.” I give them deserved credit in their ability to artistically and beautifully produce a very tangible and visible example of ‘how to’ to the masses. It is worth watching to ‘remember’ and keep ones focus on the possibilities of creating the life you want by not playing the victim to life but taking responsibility for being one’s own creator. The point is well made that the state of ones current affairs is of their own doing.

They provide the steps on how to clearly intend, visualize, fill oneself with the feeling of having that which one desires, and then to let go and allow the Universe to take over. It is the finial step that is missing. For me it is the most important step in the divinity process—
You ask, “So what else could there be?”
To be of the mindset to add a few lines to the end of every wish, desire, or demand:
________________________________________
For this or something better, for the highest good of all, with ease and grace. I totally surrender to my God-self.
_______________________________________
And now the hardest part—meaning it! Could you do this? Could you learn to manifest the partner of your dreams, the amazing career, the awesome home, the perfect school for you child, car, or divorce settlement…could you see it before you; touch it, feel it, know it—and then when it is about to be given to you, it is taken away; would it be possible for you to still feel grateful?
Attachment becomes our crutch. Attachment to having what we believed unobtainable only a short time before, which has now miraculously manifested in our life. And because we want it so badly we have forgotten our agreement to trust--refusing to believe that there could really be anything better. So instead of letting go, we hold on tighter and tighter forcing and dragging it into our world. Your wish will be granted but at what price?
We have now successfully blocked our ability to receive that which truly serves our highest good, that which we rightly deserve and will bring us great joy—and most importantly, that which will carry a vibration of ‘ease and grace’ throughout it’s entire life of manifestation. This attachment to our desire limits our ability to move forward quickly, effortlessly and divinely.
True Gratitude Mastery comes when every moment of one’s life is walked in trust—trusting the Absolute.

Have I mastered Gratitude? No, but it has become my friend and we walk together more effortlessly each day, and in this moment I am most grateful that I can share this information with you.
