Many of you have asked about this guy Wallace Wattles that I quote in the Gratitude ebook. Your chance to find out all about him is coming up with "The 21st Century Science of Getting Rich" starting October 3rd.

Today we have an article on how to use the Law of Polarity (or, Opposites) in your gratitude practice. I think you'll find this very useful.

**************************************************************

"Consciously make a decision to stop saying what you don't want and start saying what you do want. Instead of 'What if it doesn't work out?', say 'What if it does work out?'" -- Jim Rohn

One of the most valuable of the universal laws to apply in your life is the Law of Polarity. Also called the Law of Opposites, I think the name comes from the idea that for every North Pole, there's a South Pole.

In our lives it shows up in the way we look at events or circumstances. The Law says that everything that happens "just is" and it's neither good nor bad until we assign a meaning to it. The Law also says that everything has two polar opposites - for everything bad we can find, there is an equal and opposite amount of good.

So we encounter some circumstance and our mind might immediately tell us, "That's awful!" because it looks bad, but we are actually making a choice to only see that side of it. With practice, we can always find the good. It may not be in the event itself, but it may be in some outcome or unexpected consequence of the event.

For a simple example, I saw a report of flooding on TV recently in which a woman was trapped in a car that was being carried down a raging river. Nothing very good about that, I think we can all agree.

What I noticed, though, was that people had banded together for a rescue effort and that about 20 people who didn't know each other or the lady were risking their lives to get her out. It was a real testimony to the human spirit, and that was good.

15 years ago I went through a very painful divorce. It sure looked bad at the time, but it motivated me to make changes in myself and out of the ashes of that situation came things that are very, very good today.

We want to apply the Law of Polarity in every situation to help us find the good, so that we can be grateful. The more we focus on the good, the more we find ourselves focusing on what we want, instead of what we don't want.

We know that what we focus on, grows. Our popular culture teaches us to look for the crisis and play the game of "Ain't it awful!" If we do, we'll get lots of awful to deal with, and little to be thankful for.

What do you have in your life today that you think is bad? What do you find yourself complaining about and looking for sympathy about? How can you reframe that to find some good to be thankful for?

Well? Did you find it?

Focus on what you want. Look for the good and be thankful. Gratitude keeps the good things flowing in your direction and keeps you connected to the Source of good things.

And that's good.

Have a great month. I am grateful for each and every one of you!

Peace and love,
Wes
