I’ve been deeply engrossed in the creation of a course for personal and business development, for release in Jan. 2014. In that process, I’ve discovered the incredible

Gratitude

power of gratitude. To access a flow state gratitude is essential. Flow is that magical state during which you access heightened reality. I’ve experienced it as a profession musician, public speaker and most recently, during the writing and recording of the material for my course. I started the journey as an interesting entrepreneurial project and found the most exciting adventure I’ve ever undertaken. I encourage you to examine and practice gratitude each day of your life. What you will find is breathtaking.

A genuine sense of gratitude is rooted in the realization that when I think about all that I am, all that I have, and all that I might have achieved, I cannot claim to have done any of this by myself. None of us is really “self-made.” We must all acknowledge the importance of the help, advice, comfort and loyalty that came from others.
Gratitude can flow not just to individuals but also to a family, a neighborhood, a society or a nation. We don’t choose the family into which we are born or the environment our parents fostered.

If we’re generally happy, might our disposition owe at least in part to our upbringing, or perhaps even to accidental genetic forces?

Sometime in the coming weeks, you and yours will probably share notes on the things for which you’re thankful.
Perhaps you’ll take the basic approach, where everyone at the table mentions one thing. Or you’ll ask everyone to write an affirming note of some sort on every guest’s place card. Or distribute a pre-meal questionnaire.
But after a few tears and belly laughs, you may also wonder why you and your children don’t do this kind of thing more often. There is a fast-growing collection of studies around gratitude and its links to everything from stronger immune systems to better divorces. And while the study of gratitude in children is still in its early stages, evidence is also emerging that it can help them too.ᔥvia How to Start a Year-Round Family Gratitude Ritual – NYTimes.com
