Dear Gratitude,
Today's gratitude exercise is about being grateful and thanking people who perform services that I use - thanking them in person or mentally.
In The Magic, this gratitude practice is called "Magic Dust Everyone". Rhonda Byrne likens gratitude and thanksgiving as sparkling magic dust that you sprinkle on people who perform a service that we benefit from. Gratitude is a powerful energy. It goes to whomever we direct the energy to.
When we thank a person for providing a service that improves our lives, think of the benefit we received and feel sincerely grateful for it. The giving of thank benefits both the service provider and the us. The service providers are human beings and they do go through situations in life. But they are there to provide a service and we must be thankful.
- When I thank someone for a service, tell them why I am grateful.
- When thanking someone in person, look at him/her in the eyes, and sincerely thank them, and telling them why I am grateful.
- When I spinkle magic dust of gratitude on someone, it also returns to me.
