“If a fellow isn’t thankful for what he’s got, he isn’t likely to be thankful for what he’s going to get.”—Frank A. Clark
It is important for your personal prosperity to take joy in the process of sending people money. As you write the check or pay the cash for your purchase, know that you are creating financial benefits for many unseen individuals who make their living from these transactions. Smile and write “Thank you!” on the bottom of every check in the memo portion. “Thank you!” that I can buy this wonderful product or service that I want. “Thank you!” for providing it for me. “Thank you!” that I have the money to buy it—and that the check is good.
Andrea James, a bright young financial planner, took this idea to heart and decided to try it. Her boyfriend was applying for an exclusive apartment through a rental agency. He knew that there would be many applications for this apartment, and prepared his with care. Andrea insisted that he write “Thank you!” with a big exclamation point on the deposit check he submitted with his application. A skeptic, he scoffed, rolled his eyes and snorted with derision, but finally acquiesced and wrote it on the check.
He got a call two days later. Although there were some seventy-five applicants for the apartment, he was the one who got it! He asked why he was the one who was chosen. The apartment manager said she picked him because he had written “Thank you!” on his check! It had brightened her day, and she said that a person who would do that was the kind of person she wanted living in her building.
He writes “Thank you!” on all his checks, now.
Give of your abundance happily to other people and they will likely do the same—happiness is catching. Send the money back out and around and eventually it will circle back to you. Then you will send it out again. We are all linked together in the circle of abundance.
Today’s Affirmation: “Thank you, God, for the abundant gifts you provide for me every day.”
